BMW Appears to Have Reworked the Neue Klasse 5 Series Facelift

New spy photos suggest BMW has softened the Neue Klasse styling planned for the 5 Series facelift, favoring a more restrained exterior update.

Here's what we've been saying. Not what German media renders were reporting

It doesn't seem like the Neue Klasse design has been abandoned. However, according to earlier spy photos, the headlights are slimmer.

Hope you realize there's NK styling below the camo.

It cannot be more obvious.

Man, I really don’t get the insistence on your end here. Headlights are just NK. Air intakes are clearly aligned with the NK design as well. What changes vs the other test mules? The grille part? Below the kidney shape the same horizontal black piece present in the NK models can be seen too.

This is no ordinary FL, there is a clear effort to align the front end design with the newer models.

Look at the previous prototypes.

Looks like NK-aligned front-end to me.

 

[aleks_16]

It is similar. But not as the previous prototypes. Look at the bottom line of the headlamps

 

[bmwblog]

Different kidney grille, lights will be different, rear end changed also. Anyway...you'll see. All good.

The one above your post? Yes. That was the previous prototype. Versus this

Looks like deceptive camouflage if you ask me.

Definitely the same as the previous NK spy shots if you ask me, just with a different camouflage on the “kidney” section.

Ok. We'll chat in 2027

The evolution of the nose profile and front overhang for the current 5 Series, i5 and M5 families. In both pre-facelift and facelift forms.

Fast forward to the 2025, with a bunch of restyled G60 and G90 prototypes:

And most recently, the revised G61:

Looks the same to me if you take the different camera angles into consideration

At the very least it's a radical departure from the current design language.

I think the older Neue-Klasse visuals as a clever camouflage had a polycarbonate visor which enhanced the car more. The new prototypes seem to have what could be the production elements but with minor disguise. Less because the Neue-Klasse is officially out in the open now?
We will see them in a few days anyway when the photos start coming from winter testing in the Arctic.

I think I see what BMWblog is trying to get at (maybe)

Slimmer headlights and isolated from the "grilles" (?)

Slimmer they could be and in all honesty he could be right but you sure as hell can't see that in these pics. That grille is completely fake and for now it perfectly fits the NK style below the camo.

The new camo makes the car go from E60 5er (pre LCI) to E39 5er visually. Funny
