I cannot wait to drive one

Black has me reconsidering my bias towards Blue Bimmers here since it helps mask the awkward transition from black grill to the lower black surround.

Chihuahua · 06-14-2023, 04:50 PM

Looks great in black, I even like the illuminated grille on this particular car.

kamilbaran · 06-14-2023, 04:55 PM

Hopefully they toss a station wagon variant into the 5 series for this new generation!

Sisyrx · 06-14-2023, 05:07 PM

Took some screengrabs from the video for ease of consumption:

Black always hides the awkward proportions and weird design elements. The same is true for the 7 Series and iX. By the way, hideous "kidney grilles". And very busy wheels - hard to clean, too.

Black is the only colour for this car to look decent

carseatsm5 · 06-14-2023, 06:33 PM

BMW continuing its trend of cool wheels that are absolutely impossible to clean.

The more I see it, the better it looks..

TruthOne · 06-14-2023, 06:44 PM

Car looks terrible

Don’t forget the awkward rear black gloss. Why the obsession by BMW for gray and black gloss on m sport.

Quadruple VANOS · 06-14-2023, 07:01 PM

I find it truly challenging to find any part of the exterior styling attractive. How can BMW’s designers be so poor at designing?

Who at BMW ever thought, oh wow, this looks good! This side profile is so hideous. This has got to be the ugliest 5 EVER.

psuibmw · 06-14-2023, 08:33 PM

One day BMW will afford the KIA designers

Ceramic coating and regenerative breaking will help a lot with these electric ones. XM owners are just effed. Hahahaha

Doesn’t seem all that different to me from the side tbh

looks like a 5 series

antzcrashing · 06-14-2023, 10:03 PM

Wow it’s actually awesome in these real life photos. I am surprised to be impressed

Nice job BMW

NGT2 · 06-14-2023, 10:59 PM

The rear end just brings it down. And the height required for the battery. Profile is fine and front end I like. Hoping the ICE version improves the profile and isn’t so tall. That back end is what it is though.
