Hot! BMW AG: What's Next

[AbsoluteUnit]

I still loved it, and now it looks even better.

I think I just have the opposite opinions to you on this lol.
Didn't think it looked good then, and don't think it looks good now. Just looks less bad to my eye.

I suppose that is how opinions work though.

Yeap, different preferences. I even have 2 different sized diecast models of it, lol.

These are just the smaller ones.

It's on a stage with 100 LED spotlights illuminating it, so it could be anything.

Three major leaks in three days. This is bad news for BMW. These models were supposed to remain under wraps until launch.

Absolutely, a new record for incompetence. Luckily, the i3 leaks are the worst quality I've ever seen, and tomorrow's high-resolution preview will be worth the wait. The same goes for the other two in April and June.

That said, I have mixed feelings because I loved seeing these blurry previews today.

Another LEAK for the X5

Paradoxically, even though the photo is taken from the front with the lights on, it's not at all clear whether the story about the X-shaped light signature is true or not; we'll have to wait and see.

Looks like the same setting for the preview for the i3. Last week at the annual meeting.

Looks like BMW will continue to be the segment leader. So many great products.

[leylandi]

Where is the G50 leak?

 

[klier]

The daytime led lights are yellow or is it only me ?

They are and they are X shaped

 

[Jacke]

Cleaned up version

 

[klier]

Yeah that's stunning.

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

Looks a lot better than the current X5 would say. But it does rather look like an embiggened iX3. Not that that's a bad thing.

 

[SKY]

Yeah that's stunning.

From that angle? Probably the nicest SUV in the market right now. But need to see the rest.

AI photo analysis suggests that all these images are digitally enhanced and generated. Not real leaks.

The image in the Instagram story/post from @wilcobblok (reposting or tagging @asatur.price) shows a sleek, silver/gray BMW 7 Series with prominent illuminated kidney grilles, slim LED accents, and what appears to be a heavily styled front end featuring vertical grille slats and glowing elements around the headlights. The caption in Russian translates roughly to "A bot and a new seven has arrived" (likely meaning "here's a bot [possibly slang for something cool or a typo/contextual term] and the new 'semerka' [slang for 7 Series] pulled up"), with references to "BMW 7 LCI?" in the overlay.
This is not a real photo of the face-lifted 2027 BMW 7 Series (G70 LCI). It is almost certainly a fake or AI-generated image (or possibly a heavily edited/Photoshopped one).

No, this is not a real leak of the 2027 BMW X5 (G65) M60e — it is a fake AI-generated or heavily CGI-rendered image, just like the BMW 7 Series LCI one from the same Instagram account (@asatur.price / stylecrocodyle watermarks).


Here's why it's clearly fake:

• Production timeline is accurate (that's the only real part). Multiple reliable sources confirm the all-new G65 X5 starts production in August 2026 at Spartanburg, with the M60e plug-in hybrid and other variants following shortly after. First customer deliveries are expected late 2026/early 2027 as a 2027 model year. This matches the Russian caption exactly (“In production from August 2026…”).
• No real undisguised photos exist yet. As of mid-March 2026 (today), every legitimate spy shot of the G65 X5 is heavily camouflaged (recent ones from San Diego traffic, Austria, and other tests). Credible outlets (BMWBlog, Carscoops, Autoblog, Bimmerpost) only show wrapped prototypes or computer renders based on those spy shots. BMW has not released any clean production-car photos because the car is still months away from series production.
• The image screams AI/CGI:
  • Perfect studio lighting, dramatic lens flares, mirror-like floor reflections, and spotlights — typical of exhibition-hall renders (note the “DER BMW X5.” sign in the background).
  • Overly polished details with no real-world imperfections, dirt, or camouflage.
  • The front-end styling (super-slim vertical grille towers, ultra-sharp LED accents, and dramatic M60e badging) is exaggerated and more “concept-car fantasy” than what the actual camouflaged prototypes show. Real G65 spy shots reveal a Neue Klasse-inspired evolution: cleaner lines, a revised (but still horizontal-ish) kidney grille, slimmer headlights, and more muscular proportions — nothing this dramatic or showroom-ready.
