Next Gen 5-Series / i5 (G60) Has Been Spotted! Spy Pics / Videos Compilation

matbl · 07-23-2022, 11:39 AM

So 10 years after I got a Tesla model S , I can finally get the car I wanted, an electric 5-series touring.
Well, let’s hope it will be worth the wait…
And let’s hope that there will be a charging network that’s at least comoaeable to Teslas ~2015 network.

Sad. I feel the 6 cylinder is the sweet spot.

Their i6 Turbo is the reason we have a 540 and x5. Merging to electric will be fine but so much "hate" against gas engines I feel. Like they are killing us or something

I've had more than 15 BMW i6 engines in my lifetime. Starting in 03 with a 330 stick. They elevated and captivated me. I'm going to miss them when they are gone.

Yes there will be, just like the new 7

BMW G60 5 Series Drops Some Camo

stein_325i · 09-01-2022, 04:13 PM

Looking good so far. Safe to say the 5er will remain the most attractive BMW through the next generation. Only thing I don't like are those wheels. Curious to see how the interior will look.

greentrbo95gst · 09-01-2022, 05:07 PM

I thought g61 was coming to the US.

Prissy · 09-01-2022, 06:37 PM

Looks pretty good. Especially the headlights.

emulajavi · 09-01-2022, 07:00 PM

Looks perfectly fine.

- normal sized V shaped kidneys
- single belt line
- double headlamps
- round wheel arches
- hood line correctly placed

They know how to do a perfectly elegant and balanced sedan…. But they had to do he awful G11 LCI and new 7 Series with everything wrong. (And the awful vertical kidneys and in the middle of nowhere hood line of the 4 Series)

JetDriver · 09-01-2022, 07:22 PM

Looks like the 5-series has grown larger once again. Haven't picked through all 9 pages of this thread, but does anyone know the dimensions compared to the current model?

I agree with you on those wheels. This may be one of the i models as those look like George Jetson wheels.

If BMW wants to keep giving us intricate wheel designs, they should at least spend some time to find a brake pad design that doesn't dust like crazy. Or provide a set of wheel brushes with each purchase. lol

jsherwood275 · 09-01-2022, 09:43 PM

Looks like it is going to a bigger 3 series. very similar headlight, grille and bumper design of current 2023 3 series.

Actually I think it is going to have the new 7/X7 series headlights.

karbonphiber · 09-02-2022, 07:41 AM

Why no ugly grilles for the 5-er?

ashkgerd2 · 09-02-2022, 12:14 PM

Looks good to my eyes so far. The front-end seems to be a combination of the LCI 3-series and the new X1, which I really like. I also like the beltline.

AP · 09-02-2022, 03:26 PM

Nice to see a green colour in there.

There have been some stonking green cars in these forums

Cortexiphan · 09-02-2022, 09:12 PM

Looks like the exterior design will be kinda boring but elegant.
I assume interior will be similar to 7 which is the best interior in any car IMO. (Including Rolls Royces and Bentleys).
Overall it will be a great sedan to have.
However if they don’t bring it with B58, I wouldn’t consider it myself.

dr_frankfurter · 09-02-2022, 09:57 PM

E60 in the front, E28 in the back. Nice combo.

///M ARMY · 09-02-2022, 10:56 PM

Waiting for the m5…

I hope not

Jimjamz · 09-02-2022, 11:31 PM

Mmm. Not sure about the droopy assed back. Reminds me of a 10yo E class. Never liked them either. Will need a trunk lip spoiler to restore balance to the world.

I don't really see that

NGT2 · 09-03-2022, 10:46 PM

I see a lot of e39 in it. Like the G30 meets E39.
