You gotta include the credit for the people who took these. They are clearly from the press launch in Lisbon.

Seems a bit rich coming from a publication who always takes photos directly from the manufacturer and publishes it as their own.

Doesn't seem rich at all. These are press photos from the media site. Every single media in the world uses them. That's why they are there. In this case, these are clearly social media photos. So it's always nice to credit whoever took them, in most cases, it helps these people.

You've accused Scott 27 of plagarising a photograph; an act of taking someone else's work and passing it off as his own.

How is that any different to what your website has done? You add your watermark to the photographs that you didn't take nor commission.

Why do @bmwblog watermark the manufacturer's official photos?

Explained why we did that in the past. We stopped doing it if you go and take a look. All I asked was credit for the social media creators. It's already a pretty tough business for many and it's nice for them to get some recognition which might help them. The overall media business is quite tough these days so this was, again, a simple PSA. Not here to argue with you. If you wanna have a constructive offline chat, you probably know how to reach me. Or DM me.

Thanks.

I always credit. This was from Motor Talk.de. No credit attached.

Cool Architecture,Great logistics and hot weather.
The G60 is heading there too.

Orona Ideo Building in Hernani Spain just like the XM.

If you take the ungainly proportions thanks to the EV underpinnings, and if they just gave it a smaller grille. Similar to the G30 (or better F10), and it'd look so much better.

It makes more and more sense every time, a new voice of the brand, pure silhouette
When does it go on sale? or is it already?

That profile has just no fix. Maybe a Bangle butt Lid could help it in the LCI, but it will be a very difficult retouch to make it look like a proper 5er.

Your own words betray you a little, when the bangle tail almost everyone criticized and asked for this and now......there is never conformity unless you do what everyone wants and that is not possible, they say that it is not a 5er with that tail but nevertheless it is the most "5" of all:

I know it's a shocking change but it's a matter of getting used to it because the last 25/35 years the tails have been straight and high, time to try something different

Slopping Lid is not the issue, but proportions, these are not working in the G60.

I really liked the bangle butt, would be nice to see it back, but I doubt it will help it as the car needs a significant volume extrude in the back to compensate its proportions.

I have big hopes in the Neue Klasse, I see a lot of potential there, but not in their current lineup, except the G70, with an LCI interior redesign/cleanup it would be the best of the segment. The 5er is not there.

FWD proportions.

For a BMW, this looks horrible to me.

Looks like an Opel or something.

The wheels look tiny and front and rear overhang looks huge in this shot. I am normally a huge fan of a 5 series, but this model i am battling to like. Its styling is just so fugly.

I gotta see the 5 and 7 in the showroom at the same time. Not sure which is ugliest.
