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


The BMW G30 is the seventh generation of the 5 Series. Officially announced in October 2016, sales began in February 2017. Production years: November 2016-2023. Body styles: 4-door sedan/saloon (G30), 5-door wagon/estate (G31), and 4-door long-wheelbase saloon (G38).
And as a BMW fan and owner I think the Benz looks like a whorehouse. But that's also done with a reason: MB knows the typical taxi driver likes that.


What for a fked up comment. At least the E doesn't look like an extended facelift.


Hahaha

Car journalists: crappier every day

It's a small mistake. They should have written "for the first time, the 5 series comes with optional xDrive and all wheel steering."

It's not a small mistake. If the author would have a clue what he/she was writing about, he would've noticed the mistake during editing.

I haven't found a single web car magazine worth reading.

Well, ok. I agree in that point. But to be honest, these kind of mistakes are happening often in german car magazines, such as "AutoBild" for example.


Edit: "BMW will use carbon fiber and aluminum in construction of 5 series to keep the weight down and the new model is 100 kgs lighter than outgoing model."


Nahh, now I see what you mean. You are right @Padi.

your example is so wrong and off

The headlight difference between G11, G30 and F10 is a bigger difference than the whole C, E and S combined. Very, very sad.

And the G30 will not look like an extended facelift compared to the F10. You'll see soon enough. A new car through and through. But a typical BMW indeed.
 
LOL. What are you guys really arguing about. :hungover: If you want something different and something with an unique design, get a french car ;)
 
Why is it "so wrong and off" ?
because, in your example that journalist didn`t know that new 5 series will or will not use carbon fiber, so that is just speculation. Like someone says "premiere will be within 40 days":)
But when some journalist write that new 5 series will be first time with AWD, that is crappy, becasue, it is well known fact that 5 series has AWD for last few generations...

I agree with the last point. I'm sure that there is no carbon, but you are right, let's see when they reveal it :)

2017 BMW 5 Series interior spied 2 days before its debut
 
For the first time, BMW 5 series will come with all wheel drive system. We can expect BMW to introduce next generation 5 series by the end of 2017 in India.

I gather they mean AWD will be available for the first time in India. Much like the UK, we have not had a 5er xDrive and only recently had xDrive on the 1er/2er/3er and 4er in certain engine and gearbox configurations. All down to the packaging/marketing.
 
^'They' are always testing something, and it often does not matter which base vehicle is used as a mock-up.
This here is a G11 anyway. G30 will be less alu, a more driver-oriented iDrive, and very different vents.
