5 Series (G30/G31/G38) BMW 5 Series (G30/31/32) Spy Pics & Info Discussion

[Zafiro]

Very encouraging for the 2 or 3 people who actually track 5 series sedans!

This is just a wild guess from my side but I don't think they are trying for the N-ring laprecord. I think it's a suspension test in general. N-ring is a complex track and a great place to try/adjust and to try out various suspension settings for roads outside a track.

...but again this is just me throwing a wild guess that you already know about this

No you are right. Although performance cars are tested to the limit. The more mundane street models are adjusted to adapt to multiple conditions not just for Europe but also extended countries like Great BritainLol!, The US etc.
The basic setting begins at home and then adapted for global testing. Just like this 5er in Dubai.

Otherwise it would make no sense on why a VW beetle is trying to best the lap record.

If BMW will test their new models in Poland I could be a driver

Europe will have the expected Emission leading entry level Diesel and Petrol models in regards to the huge fleet market the model fulfils. And course both eDrive models 530e iPerformance and 540e iPerformance. And then the flagships M550i,M550d and eventually M550e. And then the ultimate interpretation of the 5er - The M5.
I have seen the Individual Specification M550i Touring with Excellence packet and a standard 520d in M Sport recently and they are stunning motor cars.

BMW do test models in Poland,normally driven from Munich. A new model is tested globally from the winters of the Arctic Circle to the deserts of South Africa.

My comment wasn't to be taken seriously. Manufacturers like to test at the Ring because one lap at the ring is equal to something like 1,000 miles of normal road driving so they can quickly determine the durability and lifespan of components.

If He would have some pictures He would Run to find a computer or tablet to post it here. He is one of the best members here. He would not hide pictures from you.

When Scott is posting that he has seen the car then he has seen it. And when he has the possibilty to give us more infos (and pics) without danger for his person then we will get it.
We are only a few days away from the press release.

 

[domleo999]

I've never been this excited for a midsize sedan before

I sure hope Scotts right with his dates
