G60 5-Series / i5 Leaks Ahead of Launch - Grille and Rear

BMW012 · 04-28-2023, 08:42 AM

doesn't look like the taillights have the 3d effect which is really cool on the current gen...

I love the new Honda Accord 5 series lol I’m sure it’ll look better when fully revealed

How do you figure?

It will be bigger and heavier than everything that came before.

Oh crap you’re right. You’ll have to order the car in black lol

Yeh the i5 will be heavier simply down to the battery. I’m sure it’ll be somewhere between 2 and 2.5 tons but that’s just my guess. What will be interesting will be the weights of the ICE models

They managed to shed around 100kg from f10 to g30 using more aluminium but not sure how much more they could shave off

As the i5 will be undoubtedly heavier , crash wise it’s going to have to be built to cater for that extra weight so the ICE may suffer from weight as it’s a common platform

But what do I know, I’m speculating

Next month we’ll all find out

I’m certainly interested in this but not that interest to get rid of my 2023 m550!

Saved it for the LCI.

The parallel led striping pattern reminds me of F10 LCI tail lights barring the curved profile.

Rear looks fine.

I’m hoping they didn't

This line looks wrong. Too Toyota, too Lexus

It should be like the green one.

but the above is more concerning. I've no idea what they're doing with rear 'diffusers' these days. Why does the rear M Sport bumper need to be half gloss black and why does it need trapezoidal shapes like this? See G20 LCI or G42. Even if you paint match it, it still looks weird.

But, I think, it is going to be one of the best designs since their coke meltdown with the G80.

Adris · 04-28-2023, 08:21 PM

Very hard to tell from the spy shots, but based on these pics looks like BMW got scared of IG and YouTube trolls and decided to stick with an outdated design where you can't tell if the car is 10 years old or it was just released.

Not now.

pookiemalibu · 04-29-2023, 07:45 PM

I like it. Definitely is going more subdued. Hopefully no major loss of space in the boot. Seems somewhat reminiscent of the older gen Merc E-Class. And that’s not a bad thing

bmwbrad22 · 04-29-2023, 09:59 PM

Rear looks unfortunately like a Jetta , first impression

racerx2005 · 04-30-2023, 09:13 AM

BMW ruined the 3, 4 and 7 series with that disgusting grille … it seems the 5 series is next.

That looks very bad. When we think about the M3 M4 integraded radar it is also an eye sore, so maybe its similar or even better?

Scared for the self driving future

IMO, this chief designer is not as talented as he think he is, and BMW management is not as sharp hiring this guy as they thought they were.
