Leaked images of the new 5-series G30!

Germanauto · 10-11-2016, 09:20 PM

They nailed the front end on this. The 7-series looks a bit blocky like a truck up front, this is seamless and smooth. Very nice design.

It looks good, but too predictable. If it was smth revolutionary, I'd undestand the crazy excitement around it.. Ok, lets move on

Awesome! Except for fake tailpipes... yuck

Hopefully the gauges can be changed to orange? Total blasphemy if not.

The real lights are still too big and chunky.
did a PS on the lights which looks a bit better.

You turned it into a jaguar

Can't wait to see tomorrow's official pictures! IMO the car looks like a nice evolutionary design mixing 3 series and 7 series elements that will please most.

What about the INDIVIDUAL COLOUR?
I like this colour

535DMSport · 10-12-2016, 02:01 AM

Awesome. An individual M-sport in atlantis blue or Orinoco please.

Shame they didn't make the exhaust tips in black chrome.

2M · 10-12-2016, 02:04 AM

Based on these pics, I believe the F10 will age extremely well lol

Guess similar to current F10 set up blue being eco mode, comfort = White normal day time / orange night time ( changes automatically) and red with large gear number in middle of rev counter for sport. Have this on my car, takes a little getting used to but works really well especially in maximum attack mode.
Looks like a good evolution on G30

I don't like Mercedes' screen, it's looks too much like an old tv-screen; way too rectangular for a car dash.

But more important, the iPad - as you call it - is almost an iPad this time. It's a touchscreen this time and you can drag and drop apps on the home screen. I tried it for a few minutes only, but I think it works really well.

More like a Honda Accord

I find the front bumper for an M sport on the soft side, less aggressive in comparison to the old M sports, the 5 is certainly growing away from the sporty element and more into the classy looks like the 7.
As always best to check it in flesh before final judgements.

Bbb34 · 10-12-2016, 06:06 AM

Pretty "safe" design choices in my opinion, evolution on F10 rather than fairly new design, which is a good thing, it'll allow outgoing model to age more gracefully.

Initial impression, I miss the creases on the hood that F10 has, the rest, in my opinion it looks good, but fairly predictable, especially interior.

BMW BRAD · 10-12-2016, 07:16 AM

I have never been a fan of integrating the headlights in to the grille, and I don't like it on the G30. The rear will take a bit of getting used to. I do like the interior. (except for the pop-up nav) I am curious to see what the M Sport and M5's will look like. I know I sound like a fan boy, but I like the LCI F10 better.
