5 Series [Rumors] Any word on details of 2020 5er LCI?

[dalab]

Agree with you totally, this view of the front vendor where it begins, highlights the odd change...

It's like a sculpture, the way it reinforces the side, doing the curved straight, how it starts and twists as it disappears to appear again depending on how you look at it is great

They surely won’t mess the LCI like that other brand even if they tried.

SHAAAAADE!!!!!!!

No AutoZeitung render ever looked good. This is the worst that can be done with all the spyshots that are available. The grill is awful, the lights are too thin. Bad job.

agreed, AZ has some horrible renders, this is one from avarvarii, so won't take any spy shots into account, so won't be accurate.

I have a link in my profile for my render for those interested, not sure if the link shows up, though.

Looks like an improvement judging by those pics.

It’s def going to look better than the pre LCI bringing it right in line with the newer cars.

Interesting view of the lights - The LED's join together in a square like fashion

The small kidneys(relatively) are refreshing!

...and the outer corona ring also acts as the indicator:

Which suggests that BMW is about to get rid of the top LED bar acting as the indicator light on its models and might only keep it as a DRL bar or simply as a chrome trim brow, or is even getting rid of any top bar altogether, which allows for a slimmer headlight unit:

In case anybody asks when the LCI will be launched, it's easier if I just repost Scoot's post from 7th January.

Imminent.

Is that a reminder to cover the interior?

Yep it is

Sorry but the interior of the 7/5/X3 look last gen. I wonder what it would have taken to reengineer the controls/ gear selector etc on the center console?

Whatever the reasoning, it's obviously barely changing (as expected, really), which makes it quite amusing that there's a note to "keep the interior covered" in the spy photo.

Quite odd. I do understand the reason to not update the 7.. firstly it came out a year or so ago and it’s not a high volume seller like the 5.

this is one of the things l am so disappointed of. I so badly want an M550i, but despite the quality/ reliability issues, I can’t pull the trigger because of its interior. The S6 while a more inferior product on paper is so much of an occasion when you sit inside. Audi does a fantastic job with its S/RS products to make them so appealing and special even though they can’t hold a candle to Bmws dynamically
