Next Gen 5-Series / i5 (G60) Has Been Spotted! Spy Pics / Videos Compilation

emulajavi · 09-01-2022, 08:00 PM

Looks perfectly fine.

- normal sized V shaped kidneys
- single belt line
- double headlamps
- round wheel arches
- hood line correctly placed

They know how to do a perfectly elegant and balanced sedan…. But they had to do he awful G11 LCI and new 7 Series with everything wrong. (And the awful vertical kidneys and in the middle of nowhere hood line of the 4 Series)

Looks like the 5-series has grown larger once again. Haven't picked through all 9 pages of this thread, but does anyone know the dimensions compared to the current model?

I agree with you on those wheels. This may be one of the i models as those look like George Jetson wheels.

If BMW wants to keep giving us intricate wheel designs, they should at least spend some time to find a brake pad design that doesn't dust like crazy. Or provide a set of wheel brushes with each purchase. lol

Looks like it is going to a bigger 3 series. very similar headlight, grille and bumper design of current 2023 3 series.

Actually I think it is going to have the new 7/X7 series headlights.

karbonphiber · 09-02-2022, 08:41 AM

Why no ugly grilles for the 5-er?

ashkgerd2 · 09-02-2022, 01:14 PM

Looks good to my eyes so far. The front-end seems to be a combination of the LCI 3-series and the new X1, which I really like. I also like the beltline.

AP · 09-02-2022, 04:26 PM

Nice to see a green colour in there.

There have been some stonking green cars in these forums

Cortexiphan · 09-02-2022, 10:12 PM

Looks like the exterior design will be kinda boring but elegant.
I assume interior will be similar to 7 which is the best interior in any car IMO. (Including Rolls Royces and Bentleys).
Overall it will be a great sedan to have.
However if they don’t bring it with B58, I wouldn’t consider it myself.

dr_frankfurter · 09-02-2022, 10:57 PM

E60 in the front, E28 in the back. Nice combo.

///M ARMY · 09-02-2022, 11:56 PM

Waiting for the m5…

I hope not

Jimjamz · 09-03-2022, 12:31 AM

Mmm. Not sure about the droopy assed back. Reminds me of a 10yo E class. Never liked them either. Will need a trunk lip spoiler to restore balance to the world.

I don't really see that

NGT2 · 09-03-2022, 11:46 PM

I see a lot of e39 in it. Like the G30 meets E39.

EDWYER · 09-04-2022, 10:04 AM

Nice.

Moopai · 09-05-2022, 01:09 PM

I would think they will have a V8 version which is pure gasoline engine like the new 7. I cannot see BMW offering the V8 on the 7 and not on the 5, but you never know these days with BMW!

M2COMP · 09-05-2022, 02:37 PM

It doesn't seem to have split headlights or they are covered on these pictures. Also grill doesn't seem too large.

M550i V8 model will be gone after 2023.

BMW012 · 09-14-2022, 03:06 PM

greentrbo95gst · 09-14-2022, 03:26 PM

Just saw this today.

wigglebutts · 09-19-2022, 10:47 PM

Pretty sure Bowers & Wilkins accidentally leaked the G60 on their site
