You do know that renders and reports that appear in magazines are controlled, right? Its all to inspire debate and feedback.

The 5er sets the precedent from next years all new 7er which follows the design lead illustrated in this car - The Vision Future Luxury or as it will be eventually called the BMW 9er sets the template for future BMW models with more edgier and aerodynamic styling and technical supremacy.
The new look is to showcase minimalism and lightness in design due to the specific lightweight material technology that will heavily feature in the next line of BMW models. In which the 5er will drop around 100KG in its standard form.
The M5 will drop further.

The front of the car seen in the render has a bit more angular lights but new BMWs will incorporate L-shaped front as well as rear lights. As shown on the VFL Light units are placed higher at the rear because of LED technology they allow the lights to be longer and slimmer and positioned higher - The 7er also introduces this. Like the 7er , the 5er will also be available with optional Laser light technology hence much behind the scenes deliberation to get the i8 certified in North America because the investment also pertains to future BMW models.

How the balance of thinner , longer and higher light placement appears on the new line of BMW sedans.
