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

[MrRapp]

Overall a decent improvement making the 'generalised' best-in-class that much more irresistible as the go-to option in this class. As a father of one growing young man, I would struggle to decide between a similarly specced G20 and this
LCI

Real difference in driving character between the two, you should drive them both to see which you prefer.

That front end is gorgeous AF!

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

I am most definitely feeling that front.

BMWBlog reported that pics ought to be coming out late May. The folks in BMW ought to move up the date.

 

[Frankie G]

That's the ish!!!

The 5-Series and E-Class have been at each other throats for years and years and every time one advances the other advances again. The 5-Series takes the facelift round between the two of them. Pre-FL I preferred the E-Class exterior, but I actually like the 5-Series interior, but I could never buy a dull looking or ugly car (the 5er being dull). Now the tables have turned. I now need to actually see the E-Class FL in person before I can make a final decision on how it looks, which shouldn't be the case. The 5er just got the facelift it needed. The hood and front lights are perfect and bring it in line with the 3-Series. The interior was already great and the kicker is that at the E53 - M550i level my preference for a V8 is clear. The 5er takes the 2nd half of the W213 vs G30 contest.

I just saw some videos about the N63/S63 VANOS/ rod bearing problems. I really really want one but after being burnt by 2 BMWs I’m very skittish.

I almost got one. My local dealer has two in the early to mid 70s. Sick specs; pre LCI but that damn V8!!!

that said, saw an S at a local carmax ... 2019 S560 for under 80K. Sooo sooo tempted!

Interesting seeing it up close, and this leaked shot is a 530e Plug In hybrid.

The only thing I don't like about these subtle facelifts and model changes is that they are...well too subtle. If a manufacturer has to release a comparison video, I think it's time to make more drastic changes. Plus even after the video, many still can't tell which one is new.

I might be in the minority here but personally I still like the styling of the F10 more than the G30, especially the tail lights look better shaped and also front lights.

Pretty much all the blog sites and forums make the comparisons anyway, the manufacturers may as well get a piece of that social media interaction.

Yes , F10 over Pre Facelift G30, but with the what I’ve seen so far with the LCI I strongly suspect I’ll prefer the newer car.

 

[martinbo]

Interesting, for me, both G30s over F10.
