5 Series (G60) [Official] The New BMW 5 Series (G60)

[Frankie G]

2024 BMW i5: electric saloon arrives with up to 593bhp

US data about the weight: i5 40 - 2200 kg, i5 60 - 2360 kg, 530i - 1800 kg

Looking forward to seeing it in person. It's hard to wrap myself around the thought that the 530i/520i will be lightest and most nimble variant.

"Kerb weights for the initial 5 Series line-up range from 1,680kg for the combustion-engined 520i to 2,305kg for the i5 M60 xDrive."
Based on this article, the disparity could be as much as 600kg!

Wilk take a bit of time to digest, but I’m a fan.

Big differentiation from the S. Completely different approach to compared with Mercedes. Well done.

Build a coupe of this platform please.

Can’t help thinking about the similarities of this:

Funny how the car looks so small because of the proportions yet it's over 5 meters long (5.06m to be exact)
It really grew in size. With the right spec it looks great, and the wheel options are to die for. Only criticism I have is those weird looking taillights and the base line spec. It just looks horrible, M Sport is definitely the way to go.

These are my fav combinations.

But this base spec is straight up horror lmao... It looks like a Honda Accord

YIKES!

They say that it has the same length as the E65 7 series, being so, it hides it very well and looks compact

Ikr? I could not believe that it was over 5 meters long

Many options and all very different

The ugly E60 and now the G60... Coincidence? I don't think so

 

[AndreB]

This one hurts badly, haha

 

[advantage20]

I guess we should be thankful that it's still a sedan instead of a no-neck blob spaceship

 

[Jacke]

This one hurts badly, haha

Not a fair comparison lol,the Taycan is just electric version whereas BMW had to make 1 car with both versions.the Taycan is more of a electrified BMW 8 ser

Taycan and E-Tron GT are on their own league. They are the best looking EV performance sedans. Especially Taycan, it just looks so f#ing cool. As a Bimmer fan even I don’t compare them

what is the issue here. I’m genuinely confused! Design is subjective, but in my opinion this is modernly conservative. What did they do wrong? It isn’t controversial at all.

All we all just programmed to immediately dismiss any new BMW now post M3/M4? Every comment on every platform is SO predictable. Do people just do this for likes now?

It’s soooooo tiring to read every singly comment “what were the designers thinking ?!?! “RIP BMW design”. “Buy a G30 while you have the chance”.

I’m really unsure if these comments on Reddit, instagram even here are actually physical people or bots.

Forums are so boring now….

Exact

I think it will look better IRL. Looks much bolder than the E. Color choice may be very important on this one.

It's really fantastic how people see what they want to see. Have you considered you have this view simply because you tend to like everything BMW does?

It's true, internet is full of haters. But it's also true it has a considerable bunch of blind less fanatics that praise everything a certain brand does. Call it Apple, Tesla or BMW (oh, heavens, BMW as well ).

There is a bit of Dee in the shape of the boot lid and the tail lights.
