It’s like they’re not even trying to improve on the design, or trying too hard.

with each new rendering i am more thankful that from day-one I chose to ignore BMW’s Free-No-Maintenance Schedule and instead treated my F82 as though I expected to keep it for two decades. I now have it two years longer than I originally planned and see nothing on the horizon.

Something looks off with the DRLs. Aren't we likely to see a rotated L or 7 shape? The recent rendering of the X3 had this too, but the X1 looks more what I'd expect.

Also the hood on this rendering rakes / slopes down kind of aggressively into the grille. Hope it's more to do with how with this rendering, the grille was placed atop an image of the current LCI.

Neptune7 · 03-10-2023, 02:13 PM

I can’t criticize every new BMW design; the new X5/6M LCIs look great. There’s hope

2one3E90 · 03-10-2023, 02:22 PM

Whats going to happen to gas cars and gas stations once everything goes electric?

G30 545e · 03-10-2023, 02:55 PM

I hope they put the electric charging port discreetly on the front or back of the car. That piece on the front grille could well be a flap/door for it.

8MW · 03-10-2023, 04:29 PM

Good lord, wtf is going on here? Can we just go back to regular round Angel Eyes?

TractionControlDelete · 03-10-2023, 04:35 PM

I like the overal design but the cat/snake eye headlights aren’t doing it for me.

RichP · 03-10-2023, 06:11 PM

Nice render work but the grille is way off. Other spy shots of the G60 show some silver lines inside the black rectangle. In product, expect it to have silver pieces in the rectangle to "blend" into the rest of the more traditional grille. Same execution as on the new 7/i7:

This can’t be correct can it? It ruins the front of the car.

Will car’s optioned without driving assistant also have that square there?

I wonder why it couldn’t be lower or up in the windshield by the rear view mirror. Just awful…

KoenG · 03-10-2023, 06:49 PM

Not impressed, and have no confidence left in the capability of the BMW design team at all. The pile of total misfits that they've launched last decade has become huge.

OnlyGerman · 03-10-2023, 06:54 PM

The 5er has been downhill after the F10.

ArchieV · 03-10-2023, 07:51 PM

Hopefully the power output sells people cause the looks certainly won’t.

Maverik259 · 03-10-2023, 08:38 PM

No thanks. Let’s go back to the earlier renderings.

Blue Angel · 03-10-2023, 10:04 PM

Looks like a bloated 2 Series.

Fugly M3 · 03-10-2023, 11:19 PM

I saw it in Sweden when I was there for Ice Driving last month. Back end has quite a bit more taper to it...between this render and a CLS taper.

Here you can see my latest rendering of the most powerful variant, the I5 M60 xDrive. The car will start production in July 2023 and we can expect the reveal in the next months.

Do you like the looks of the car?

Great work on the render, but wow we are actually watching the death of BMW heritage in front of us, this is sad to see, at least porsche is still holding it down.

Great work on the render

BimmerGuyFL78 · 03-11-2023, 05:46 AM

The reveal will be on May 24th, 2023.

bigjae1976 · 03-11-2023, 07:47 AM

At least it doesn’t have the alien eye split front headlights. There is some hope here.

Agree, I think this render is quite different than how it will look in key areas and that's mostly due to the render being derived from the G30. From looking at the videos of it driving around in camo, I'm cautiously optimistic.
