It's the best shape and body that was possible to accommodate both ice and BEV drivetrains.

The Neue Klasse will be introduced somewhere arround 2026. So for a NK 5er we would probably have to wait until 2028-2030?
The 2030 would make sense for full 6 years life cycle for the i5, and the ICE G60 would die out afterwards beginnig of the next decade.
Or are there already an offical statement for that?

From what I have seen from the Bimmerpost Future Model forum. The CLAR-G60 5er+i5 will be finishing their production by June 2030, then they will be replaced by the NK-NC0 i5 in July 2030.

This is one BM where I have me scratching my head whenever I see these pics. In some pics it doesn't look bad (it looks best from the rear 3/4" and profile) but then look at the front and it is downright fugly for a BMW. A X1 and X5 look a whole lot better. 3 series is in another league. Ok the only other BM 's that are fuglier than this is the 7-series and perhaps the XM.

The G60 is truly a spec sensitive car, like it really depends on what trim levels: standard line and M Sport in conjunction with the size and style of wheels it needs to wear. For instance: the double spokes, star spokes, multi spokes or aerodynamic rims.

There is still an air of sophistication and luxury even in standard specifications. In some angles I see some Saab-ness especially the front and rear. The Germans looking at capturing the former Swedish makers loyal customer base.

Not only that. Apparently, there is a new CLAR X5 coming. Also a 3er, X3, 1er and 2er.

BMW is probably the brand with more ICE cars expected to hit the market until 2030.

Apart from the 1er, 2er, 3er, X3 and X5+iX5. There are few more CLAR vehicles that will be released in the second half of 2020s:
2026-G75/G76/G77/G93 8er+M8
2027-G67 X7+iX7
2028-G66/G96 X6+iX6+X6M and G79 iXM (these vehicles are likely to be one of the last CLAR products that BMW will be release before this decade ends)

I will agree with this and say the 5-series does look expensive no matter the trim.

Yet others do it better.

The new Granturismo does it better hell even the new Mini models do it better. They look like normal cars, not a car on stilts or training wheels. Even Mercedes that have both ice and ev power don’t look as stupid as the 5-Series.

Even BMW's own i4

Even BMW's own i4

Here I way prefer the i5, looks weird because it’s missing the typical 5er proportions but us not as fat and bloated as the i4 and that i4’s tacky grille is beyond that too.

 

[dalab]

I understand now it's not only ugly but it looks stupid (that's new)

Make an effort to wait to see it IRL before continue criticizing, the car will remain what it is despite some criticism
