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

Even though the G30/31 are representatives of an "older sch...

The G30 is business casual. It doesn't offend and doesn't excite. Behind the wheel it's a phenomenally complete car but the rear is too similar to the F10.

Personally I think the G20 and even G11 are better looking than the G30. Maybe once its given the FL it will be an improvement, as witnessed in the leaked pics, but I would still choose the other 2 for looks. Interior wise it still looks outstanding inside and gives the 7 series a close run.

I am seriously contemplating an E87 130i manual with M pack, 3 door, non iDrive.


Just after test driving this car here:

Amazing car, just not a ‘real’ BMW. I’ll post some impressions later, together with my thoughts on a test drive of the G20 320i.

Shhh, don't ruin his story.
He posts a pic of what in essence...

Nope, you`ve taken my post out of context. I never implied BMW should copy anything at all.
My impressions were that the taillights in that pic have fewer dead zones than the teaser photo of the f/l 5er. I think it is fair to hold back final judgments until the official photos come along. It shouldn`t be too long.

The E34 5er was a bloody good car. And I still see a good number of them on our roads here in Germany.

Klier, my friend... please...

... It's an E81 if it's a three door.


You should do it though.

KLIER DOES NOT KNOW HIS BMW CODES?????

Yes, I deserve to be shamed.

Fair enough

If by dead zones you mean the blackish-smoky that surrounds the red stripes of light, I think they are a very creative touch that stylizes and updates the design in addition to being quite original.

 

[GTA45E]

^Well thats one way of looking at it.
As I told @klier, need to see more photos when the car is officially released.
I always thought the taillights (and headlights) of the 5er were too big to begin with. Maby the solution you explained will help. Thay did a good job trimming headlights down, looks sleeker and better than before.

Looks like the G30 LCI will be the first BMW to get Android Auto as standard and its good to see red return to the 5 series, although it’s not red red.

Colors

For those unaware, all BMW'S with iDrive 7 will receive Android Auto as a Software update.

Bright red colours rarely suits big cars - especially big bloated ones. It's also a colour that can be a pain to photograph. The i

Deep shades with burgundy or cherry generally work.

An Imola red E39 M5 is a great example of when red works on a sedan thanks to black plastic scuff protection breaking up the colour.

Red also looked good on the E60.

 

[klier]

F10 doesn't look half bad either in Imola red:

.....or on the F90.

Motegi Red will be available on the M5.
This is Ametrin.
