5 Series (F10/F11/F07/F18) [Spyshots] BMW 5 Series F10 Facelift Spy Information

[Mr. Mercedes]

The 5-series is ageing beautifully, though I wish they added a hint more aggression to the front end (headlights and grill).

@SCOTT27 we have been kept in the dark long enough now. will the F10 LCI have a MODERN LINE, SPORT LINE and we know it will have M Sport pack...so, will we have 3x different bumpers? Just that small amount of info please, so we can settle it and get on with it, please!?

Yes the F10 inherits model lines and an M-Sport Option.
There are new wheels and trim elements both exterior and interior to distinguish these models.

Thank you!

It's settled then, we can all get our own front bumper @LaArtist ; @klier

Anyone know if the M5 facelift will happen at same time as regular 5er?
Plan on buying but will wait for facelift.

 

[bmw 745d]

Same time...

 

[SCOTT27]

The M5 will be facelifted but apart from the refreshed optics the cars aerodynamic packet remains the same. M changes are never too drastic , the aerodynamics and intakes are honed to perfection that there is no need to alter.

So does that mean that base BMW's aerodynamics are a complete balls up until the facelift?

Autocar has got a few pictures of the facelifted M5.

Will the new M5 have the facelifted nose and kidneys?

Finally the console has trim on it. Looks so much better!!

That is not the M5. The actual M5 trim is really leather.

It is like for the M3 E9X. The center console trim of the M3 is different compare to the normal 3 Series, because it has some added buttons on the side. For the M5 F10 the difference is the gear shifter, 8 AUT vs. 7 DCT. In the states, where the M5 has manual, you could swap the trim. The reason for no special trim are costs. It is cheaper to make a piece of plastic and cover it with leather. Funnily, now there does exist a CF center console trim for the M3 E9X. Could not they make it before?

And the touch-pad iDrive-controller + F01 LCI instrument cluster and it looks like the same size screen as in the 6er (i guess)

It is. It is the same for all F0X and F1X.

The button for the armrest lid is in pearl chrome (plastic that looks like chrome). Looks a lot better than that plastic (plastic that looks like plastic that looks like plastic) button.

Okay the sat mac has it chrome applications and that's all. Well apart from the new steering wheel.

You're correct about the touch-pad iDrive controller. However, the F01 LCI instrument cluster is already available now as a cost option on the 5 Series (it's also a cost option on the 7 Series) so is nothing to do with the facelift. I had a play with it on a 5 Series at Geneva and it really is a fancy and useful bit of kit.

Can always count on you boys to get me what I need-info, pics and more info! Looking at the FL, I prefer the current version. The FL grille looks...smaller, dare I say it-even squishy? Like the new 3. And I'm no fan of the look of the new 3s.

Don't think an M sport pack can save it. Will be keeping an eye out for one on the road soon.

Will the F10 LCI have the updated night vision assist and driving assistants?
