Next gen BMW 5-Series prototype spotted on test

next-gen-5-series-touring-00005

The F10 BMW 5-Series may have just been given a facelift, but the boffins at Munich are already working on the next generation 5er. Here’s one of the first sightings of the next generation 5-er Touring on test, and though the heavy disguise doesn’t let us observe much details on how the new 5-Series will look like, we do notice that the engine hood has now been revised to once again meet the edge of the kidney grille. The current F10 has a design where the bumper and hood meet somewhere behind the BMW badge, so there’s a gap that can be seen running across the front.

    Be generous on airbags, minimum 7 in Malaysian luxury vehicle market. Optional also can.
    Sunroof please, some like it, especially for the sporty models, despite the hot weather. Optional is ok ya, RM10-20K per piece sure increase your profit, if you are confident in your technology.

    the kidney grilles look so flat. Unlike the F10 and also their concepts like the Vision, where the front bit is leaning forward. I kinda liked that ‘lean forward’ look…

      Don’t worry, they will slant it forward because now they are covered by the mask

    See how the European and Korean are improving from generation to the next, how are our P1 and P2 going to catch up ? 30 years more protection also cant smell their smoke !

      u have to understand our malaysian mindset… we are more to money minded compared to those business minded… so to as long as the model still selling like hot cake they will not bother to improve…
