The BMW 5 Series is an executive car manufactured and marketed by BMW since 1972. The car is sold as either a sedan or, since 1991, a station wagon (marketed as "Touring"). A 5-door fastback (marketed as "Gran Turismo") was sold between 2009 and 2017. Each successive generation has been given an internal G-code designation since 2017. Previously, a F-code designation was used between 2010 and 2016, while an E-code designation was used between 1972 and 2010. These are used to distinguish each model and generation from each other.

The RFK lives...
Not as originally intended before decisions changed the initial proposals into the 5er Gran Turismo.
The new RFK is being re-imagined as a four-Seven seater Crossover, like an extended but sleeker i3 and powered by a joint BMW-Toyota developed Fuel cell.

New BMW i car design patents surface, possibly BMW i5
Mysterious BMW design patents surface on the interwebs in China. According to PCauto.com.cn, these are official patent designs from a BMW filing with the Chinese trademark office, but without an official confirmation these drawings could be just a Chinese knock-off.
The car featured here uses a combination of BMW i8 and i3 design cues. It also has a three-door layout and judging by the two door caps on the side of the car, this is likely a hybrid platform.
At the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show, Ian Robertson, BMW’s sales chief, told AutoNews that the next BMW i cars are in the final stages of consideration. “We have a number of options that are in the final stages of consideration” to join the i3 battery-powered compact and i8 plug-in hybrid sports car in the “i” lineup, Ian Robertson, BMW’s sales chief. “The i unit will continue to develop.”
Even more recently, BMW CEO Harald Krueger confirmed for German magazine Die Zeit that BMW is working on a new electric car which will sit above the i3. Rumors around a future BMW i5 – Krueger has not confirmed the name – have been going around for a while now, but BMW has always refrained from officially acknowledging those plans.
“The new BMW i model will be larger than the BMW i3, that’s all I will say for now,” Krueger said.
And judging by those drawings, the mysterious car is larger than the i3 and with a high ride driving position.
The next BMW i car is rumored to arrive around 2020.

BMW says the leaked patent concept designs show a research vehicle, won’t be produced
The mystery has been solved concerning those mysterious patent concept designs from the Chinese trademark bureau.
While many people jumped to conclusions saying this is a concept previewing the i5, we were more reluctant and it seems we were right as a source close to BMW told our friends at BMWBLOG this is nothing more than a research vehicle that won’t ever make it to production, so it will have the same fate as the i8-based hydrogen fuel cell research vehicle revealed a few months ago. The car seen here takes design cues from both the i3 and i8 and according to the BMW insider it has “some design support, but a production model would not leave the design department like this.”
BMW is working together with Toyota on developing fuel cell technology and while the latter just came out with the Mirai hydrogen vehicle, the Bavarian marque will launch its own model after the end of the decade. It will take the shape of a large sedan and will have a maximum range of more than 700 km (435 miles).
Although the fuel cell tech will be largely shared with Toyota, everything else about the car will be developed by BMW, as it should if we take into consideration the very different markets targeted by the two automakers.

There is an interpretation in which the U shaped taillights run up the C-Pillar.Interesting if not a bit familiar...
But I think this render is based on the Audi E-Tron?
