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

Looks like another great FL.

Must be the new strategy: start off ugly......

It isn’t that hard with this one. The G60 looks better as time goes by. Not even the change in the front end was needed IMO. But this one looks better no doubt.

Now it only needs a higher interior quality. Side profile and especially the rear end look really nice.

Not even the change in the front end was needed IMO.

But when the two forms of early cycle (first half) and mid-cycle (second half) designs stand behind each other. It is clear as day that the comprehensive changes to correct each facial feature are necessary to bring the whole 5er family back to their roots and touches of sportiness and sleekness are obviously needed. So, in the end, it avoids the impression of being a front-wheel-drive vehicle that the current pre-facelift design has been criticized for since its debut. For example, the entire kidney grille and headlight areas on the facelift model are now being relocated into a much lower position by sitting below the main character lines than the pre-facelift one to sharpen and widen the front fascia section, which makes everything on the front look more like a proper, aggressive sport sedan instead of an ambiguous, typical economy sedan that has been found on the street. Plus, the hood is also being low-key modified to align and blend with the new facial structure as well.

Opposite here. I think the current front is vile. One of the worst ever on a BMW in fact, and worse than the current 7er even.

This new front seems to correct the whole car.

Don’t attack my beloved 5er like that! I love her.

Bro sorry. I don't want to offend anyone like that, but it's my personal feeling and I can't help it. I just can't get over that grille in particular.
But I will forever love the 5er no matter the looks.

Sorry man but that makes 2 of us. The 5 series front is one of the ugliest on any BMW and this LCI will be very much needed to get it to look any form of decent beauty.

Hahaha, just joking mate. Everyone has a different taste obviously. It was a very nice upgrade after our dated F10.

I hope so. Like I said, I’m totally happy with the looks, (duh).
We have the frozen paint so that also makes it better for me, but we’ll see how the LCI end up looking like. High expectations.

Absolutely, I'm joining the team with unconditional support. I love how imposing that front end looks on the street, the shark-like, angled headlights contrasting with the grille, which is in the opposite way of them. It's a very well-designed front end that exudes dynamism and modernity and perfectly suits the status of the 5. Its popularity, marked by hordes of buyers, seems to agree.

I don't understand the rush here to change it at all costs, lol

to me the current 5er when properly specced with the right wheels ,color and sport package trim ,it looks insanely good ,on the opposite it looks super ugly when it is not properly specced

btw in my home country it's everywhere while the E class in comparison is not that common which indicates that people love the 5er

 

[Uygar]

5er is super popular here as well, both in ICE and EV form. E-Class is also extremely popular.

 

[Design FIRST]

The "basic" G60/61 desperately need the flank/wheelarch metal surfacing+rocker skirts and somewhat widened track of the M5 versions. With those elements, I suspect that it's looks would be absolutely jawdropping.

No it doesn't. If I ask 100-men; "would you prefer to have your arms chopped off, or be kicked in the balls?", and everyone replies "kicked in the balls", it doesn't mean they love being kicked in the balls.

 

[Uygar]

Why would people buy something they don’t love? Make it make sense, lol.

 

[klier]

The E class is being slaughtered by the 5er in the EU, but that's mostly (and dare I say only) because the EQE is a gigantic flop and BMW has the i5.

Next gen there will be an EV E class and sales will be around 50/50 again. For the time being though, MB better keep those bandages at hand, because they are bleeding f#cking everywhere.
Next wound will be the mid/full size SUV class, where MB thinks it's ok to uglify old cars and expect good sales against BMW's all new products.

 

[Esp5]

According to the European figures posted earlier, even without including the i5, the 5 series easily outperforms the E-Class; if you include it, it thrashes it.

 

[Design FIRST]

The G60/61 5er has become very popular in my area. In comparision, I'm not seeing nearly as many W/S 214 E-Class vehicles. And as of the past several months, the Audi A6 eTron Avant has become quite commonplace. Apparently far more successful than I had anticipated. And it can be amazingly good looking with the "right" paint and rims. The Sportback remains a rarity, though.

I believe it’s not only because of the miserable EQE. The E-Class is clearly less seen around here compared to the ICE 5er. The sales advantage must be 10 to 1 here in Madrid in favor of the BMW.
