The all-new G30 BMW 5 Series has been teased again – Munich has revealed a series of videos that show off the technologies of its upcoming executive model, and has also provided a date for the car’s full reveal: October 13. For now, there have been two videos released over the weekend, with another three over the coming days making it five teasers that will be shown ahead of Thursday’s unveiling.
Features shown in the videos have been detailed before. The first is the Remote 3D View, which uses the surround view cameras to provide a three-dimensional view of the car’s surroundings, much like the G12 7 Series – only this time you’ll be able to see it remotely via the BMW Connected smartphone app, a BMW first.
Also showcased is the Steering and Lane Control Assist, which has also been implemented in the 7 Series. Like the Drive Pilot system on the W213 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the function on the 5 Series allows for hands-free driving in certain situations.
However, the depiction of the driver actively taking his hands off the wheel (and using the touchscreen to zoom in on the navigation map, no less) hints that the BMW could have a more advanced system – although it’s unclear if it will change lanes autonomously, as the Mercedes system does.
Not shown so far is the Crossroads Warning function that warns the driver of crossing traffic and supports in preventing or mitigating a collision. More details of the new G30 BMW 5 Series can be found here.

The ‘soon’ is to be May 2017.
Can BMW Malaysia bring in a Hybrid G30 and benefit from cheaper prices for Malaysians?
Malaysia did that with their E300 Bluetec Hybrid but then, with the W213, they decided to be greedy and not sell the E300 Bluetec hybrid cause it ate into the sales of the E200 and E250.
Don’t be greedy like MBM, please bring in a G30 BMW Hybrid and sell it for RM330k. Now, we poor Malaysians have to pay RM400k for a mere E200. Greedy MBM!
Lexus ES250 > All
I’m sorry BMW, these 2 teasers does not tickle me one bit. I hope it will tease others though.
The first teaser show the man more than the car. The second teaser show the Steering and Lane Control Assist while the man let go his hand for 3 seconds in a “control” driving 2 lanes review.
Since the technology is new but first introduce by W213 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, lets hope this is an improvement otherwise Merc will claim the bragging right.
I’m afraid to say this teasers are not one of your better teasers. Am sure the next teasers will be better & hopefully show more of the car.
I have a feeling that this new 5er will look as hideous as the last Bangle touché.
Now get ready for BMW fanboys to do their thing.
Any other luxury sports sedan that could ever come close to the M5? CTS-V maybe, no??
luxury sports sedan/car are under GT category. Merc-AMG GT, Aston Martin DB11, Ferrari GT4 Lusso, BMW M6, Continental GT are just a few.
I am not going to tell U which one will beat the M5 but I’m sure U already know the answer.
