I'd take the M version just to be able to order the 938M wheels. All the other wheels available seem an ackward fit with this car. Of course, just my opinion.

Possibly arctic grey? Or a bit darker - sophisto?

Unbeliavable how kitschy, all over the place, undefined BMW has become.
Good machines dressed from the thrift store…
What a shame…

This is how you kill 5 series lineup. Great work BMW for your lack of design/taste. That front end is awfully 🤮🤮🤮

This thing looks 100x better in real life than those previous real life photos from the press. I mean, maybe even 200x better even though it’s the same car and all. Those press photos weren’t real man.

From that view. Remove the badge, you wouldn't even know it was a BMW.

I would say Sophisto, but hard to tell the difference with graphite. Sophisto is a std color and I always enjoyed it for its distinctive look (on my previous X3).

Kidney Fail; they should have housed it on one side and kept it all black. Awful.

I won't buy one until they fix this. It is ugly and looks like they just ran out of time designing it, so they said, "F it, we'll just make it a rectangle and put it in the center of the grill."

It’s painful to see.

You want that big tech pack to self drive. Here is the ugly grill!

It’s instrusive; anyone who loves kidney design on bmw is shaking their heads…

The awkward placement of the radar cruise is hideous. I like the rest though. There’s a non adaptive cruise kidney that looks better.

Looks very grown up and serious, not sporty.

Overall a decent looking sedan but it remains overly fussy like most of BMW's current designs. I also see a lot of W212 E Class in the profile especially the trunk.







I share your opinion. from the rear and the sides, the 5 looks like a copy of the E-Class. The tail lights are right off the E-Class as well. The front and especially the headlights screams 2 Series Gran Coupe.

Interior is great but exterior feels like a hybrid mix between a 2-Series Gran Coupe and Mercedes Benz E-Class.
