G60 5-series i5 goes winter testing, shows design elements

Excellent video showing 4 phases of winter testing as the vehicle prepares to be fine tuned and data fed for final production vehicles. Seems like there are a few different variants all tested together.

The rigor and preparation the German auto makers go through is second to none.

Glimpses of head lights and tail lights, G20-like Hofmeister kink, the sloping lines, shape of the rear view mirrors, panoramic (or all-glass?) moonroof, all add up to a great bold stance. Vehicle seems to ride a bit higher, or perhaps the test vehicle does.

G60 will have presence on the road more than the F10s and G30s, and will make them look like gradually ageing classic designs.

The specific vehicle that I snapshot pictures from the video looks like an i5 M60 with those M-style rear view mirrors.

Can't wait for official unveil. Enjoy the video!

"Dangerous currents" and "Weak i5" is a bit alarming though.

Haha.

And if that’s the car pictured, there is no ‘frunk’ space for extra cargo.
