5 Series (G60) [Spy Shots] BMW G60 5 Series LCI

Then and Now:

The slimmer headlights on the 2nd change look alot better and more suited to the front than the previous large headlights. The slimmer headlights and grill can allow a slightly lower hood which the 5 series needs to become more sleeker.

It needs a lower hood at the base of the windshield imo. Or a higher one in the front, like what they did with the previous 7er in a way.

Especially since the current G6X and G9X series are being built on the compromised platforms.

MY update, not the facelift

There seem to be more changes but this is what Bimmertoday posted.

Details like this one count.

For me it's more like the thought that counts because this shiny plastic isn't that hot either.

I prefer the from the A-Pillar bases fowards descending design. Otherwise, cars would tend to look like...this...:

I think the center screen is connected to a curved instrument display. It might have a similar look to the GTXX concept.

The cabin is very characterless. BMW found a good path in exterior design, but the interior design lost its way from the moment the iDrive 8 screen appeared.

Cars are reaching a silly lenght. This G60 is as long as the F01 7er. The G30 5er was already too much for my taste.

To me the perfect size for a sedan is the G20 3er or E60 5er at max. These new cars are like boats in my eyes.

Totally agree, I had quite a few G20 3er driving in front of me and passing and its size is just on the perfect spectrum for a BMW saloon. I would hate for this series of car to increase in size, its not necessary as its got decent space and a good sized boot.

Me seeing the new high gloss black materials inside the brand new G60 last week at the local BMW dealer in Bangkok.

Those piano black switches are something that comes in a budget car. Looks worse than the those matt finish black switches and panel in the first and second year models. Dont know why BMW made this change, cost cutting?

Galvanic control buttons looked much more premium.

Nope. Same like the iX3. This one has very thick bezels, which I want to believe because of it being an early test mule cause otherwise…yikes.

 

[leylandi]

It would be even more tragic if it were the same as the ix3. This is a 5 Series and not fundamentally an electric car. They must be crazy.

We’ll have to wait and see

I like the idea of the bmwblog photo keeping the light bar, although in the real photo it seems to be gone.

Galvanic control buttons looked much more premium.

f#ck yeah, with color coded plastic. So much more premium looking like that.

Alternatively, the shiny black plastic cold be galvanized and the actual buttons plastic, that would look nice as well. Can't you photoshop it like that?

This is so G30+F90 coded.

Opposite but this looks neat too. I meant black buttons and alu surround.
