2017 G30 5 Series Sedan Spied! (including M Sport model)

goj · 04-04-2016, 12:57 PM

Wow, this is going to be one impressive vehicle

Nordkeyz73 · 04-04-2016, 01:07 PM

Pretty certain this M-Sport steering wheel in this prototype is the new wheel shown in the M760i as well. First shown is the 7er, then the 5er.

desertfox73 · 04-04-2016, 01:34 PM

Glad to see the hood line extending down to the grilles again!

3M TAPE · 04-04-2016, 01:37 PM

*sigh* Design is getting less ballsy for every generation.
Why can't we have design changes like E34 -> E39 anymore?

SleevedCoyote · 04-04-2016, 01:45 PM

I knew BMW would connect the lights to the grille this time, which is a fail if you ask me. Now the whole BMW line-up is going to look exactly the same, just like Benz did it.

The only thing I like about these pictures im seeing is the taillights (still look like the F10), the exhaust and the wheels. Maybe it's just me, but the M-Sport looks kinda too subtle/not aggressive enough for my personal taste (just like the new 7), might just be the camo though. Definitely hope so!

Oh, and one more thing... Why TF did they take out the iDrive screen from it's nice chucked in spot in the F10? Now the interior looks more cheap, and seems like the sun's going to be a nuisance.

Looks like M550i to me.

This guy wears the same size jeans except mine is flipped

too bad for me

It looks too much like the 7 series which means its looking more like a big luxury sedan than a sports sedan. The F10 Msport had a good combination of sport and luxury looks. This new generation looks like thats going to be shifted heavily towards the luxury side of things all around.

I like what I've seen so far. The exterior of the new E-Class was a disappointment, it's okay but way too unsporty (I know it's a Benz, but it's even for a Benz not sporty enough) and I'm sure the new 5er is going to have a much better design.

The front bumper also seems to be very much the same as in the m760. Gotta admit i was hoping for something a little more aggressive, or at least, different. Lets hope its the camo.

a lot of front and rear overhang....

Evolutionary design. Yay because all things considered, the F10 is a good looking car. Nay, well because beside an E-Class, it's going to look aged.

Really? You haven't even seen this yet and you are already comparing it to the E class.

It's not exactly rocket science to get a good idea of what the car is going to look like. BMW has fallen into the same design habit as Audi - you see one, you've seen them all. No need to look any further than the G11 7er. I don't think anyone here would call the G11 a revolutionary design. If you think the G30 5er is going to look drastically different than the F10, well you're probably one of the very few that think BMW is going to break their design habit.

I think these are all reasonable renders and follow BMW's designs as of late. Of course we don't know what the final design is going to be but based on the test cars and these renders, we have a pretty good idea of what the G30 might be.

lights have to connect the grill its the design language for all current bmws. and lol since when does an X6 look like an i8? bmws know how to look diffrent.

Lol, I was talking about the main line-up (3, 5 & 7)
