Yes, it`s the same with the 5 series

Well I am glad because that will take away a lot of the Skoda talk in the official thread

Yes, but only until they copy that detail also in the next Favia.
Until highlighted it here in the 6GT I had not realized that differential, always one step ahead

Love the new front end!

 

[SCOTT27]

The M Sport Packet looks a whole lot better now.
M5 even more sharper.

It has similarity with the bumper of the M8, which fits very well and is also the usual

Looking much better with those new front lights. Im not in love with the light graphics but the shape of the lights look nicer than pre LCI.

New vs Old

 

[hovabongZA]

The front end of this car is made better looking mostly because of the light graphics, they compliment the car very well. The LCI M5 will looking aggressive because of those headlights.

 

[dalab]

I do not know if it is better looking, it is a very successful evolution in the design, because also in the pre LCI it was perhaps very conservative, but everything has its moment so the design is evolving towards this, gradually returning to the straight lines as in the 7 series, for BMW after 25 years of smooth cornering, this fits perfectly.

Here there was room to improve, but for example in the Mercedes E there was not so much because it was already very good in itself and the LCI does not improve it, it just changes it

The progression will be to continue this trend towards the rest of the car body of future models, on the next 5, 7, as seen in the 4GC, 4 coupe and others to come.

 

[klier]

The split eyebrows are a nice detail.

 

[dalab]

Those taillights are really good, those are better than the pre LCI, they are corporeal, three-dimensional, they have a very innovative strength and design based on a previous design that they should have been boxed in, quite an achievement

 

[klier]

Those taillights are really good, those are better than the...

I agree, and I think it'll look really nice irl! The 3D touch to the rear lights is just what they needed..

The M5 is going to be so mega.

 

[Dawid21]

The BMW 5 Series is already a great car and now the LCI will emphasize it even more. This is the most attractive car in this segment.

Why didn't they replace the gear stick with the new design? How much does it really cost to implement something so small, yet makes such difference?
