Cool BMW Compares G30 5 Series and F10 5 Series

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
BMW has posted this video which compares the 6th generation 5 Series with the all new 7th generation 5 Series. In particular the video highlights interior and exterior visual changes as well as showing the newer technology in the G30's interior

In my opinion, the video is a good visual comparison piece for people who think there is hardly any difference between the two.

Great Video.

I prefer the ceased bonnet on the F10.

Everything else looks great in the G30 especially the interior.

So I guess it's worth paying 30% more for the G30.

BMW marketing department magic. They're doing their job which is to market cars to attract buyers.

G30 is a lovely update to the 5 series. Especially the wheels.

Simplified hood sure speaks to classic BMW design better than the busy F10 hood. Pity about the side strakes.

You darn tootin. The 6th generation seems more modern interior (excluding the cool ambient light package)

But, no matter what, yes the new idrive is brilliant, especially the camera package.

But, that stupid, idiotic, pointless, non-functioning tablet-thingy will always be that stupid, idiotic, pointless, non-functioning tablet-thingy.

Just say NO to the guillotine screen!

You know you did it wrong when you have to put out a video explaining the differences between the new cars design versus the old. The G30 is a handsome car no doubt, it just looks stale at this point. I was really hoping for something fresh.

Well, if BMW felt the need to create such a video, it's clear that they also think there is a problem, the cars are too similar and people need to be educated about the differences

And the video actually proves that the exteriors are just way too similar. I appreciate the significant weight reduction of the new model, but that's about it.

Whats up bmw? Afraid to bring a LED equipped f10 to compare?

And i agree. Shame it actually has to come up with a video to explain the difference between old and new, since they look so much like each other. Lol.

True, looking at them head on i thought they were the standard ones, in fact, i had the old 7 series LEDs in my mind as being the 5 series ones. My bad.

Agreed. The fact that BMW felt necessary to make such a video speaks volumes in my opinion.

But that being said I do like them both. The F10 is still a good looking car. Wouldn't surprise me if that will be a timeless beauty like the E39 is. And the G30 is als a good looking car. It's a bit fresher looking car than the F10. Let's just hope BMW will take a complete new direction with the future models.

G30 looks so much better! Was never a fan of the F10, just looked boring, even the ///M.

The G30 makes the the F10 look a bit dorky.

Both are good looking cars, but the G30 looks a lot more mature.

I don't think BMW felt the need to do a comparison video. On the forums and magazines there has always been side by side comparisons of new vs old because we want to see it.

So in my opinion BMW is just doing what many of us want to see.

Can't wait for f10 M5 prices to come in line. 5-6 years later get G30 M5. Both base cars look great. Great job BMW ?
