MORE TECH, NEW LOOK: NEW 5 SERIES
Inside we feature a lighter, sleeker BMW to fight Jag XF and Merc E-Class. BMW is preparing itself for the launch of its crucial new, seventh generation 5 Series saloon ahead of the car going on sale in February next year. Codenamed G30, the latest incarnation of what remains the German manufacturer’s most profitable model sticks closely to the design language established by the latest seven Series luxury saloon, despite featuring sharper creases down its sides and a more traditional take on BMW’s L-shaped tail-lights. Overall, the new car is not as distinct from other BMW saloons as the 5 Series has been in the recent past but, according to 5 Series project director Johann Kistler, this was a deliberate move that was based on feedback from customers. Even so, the new 5 Series appears wider and more imposing than the outgoing car, and it’s still easier to tell apart from its sister saloons than the current Mercedes- Benz E-Class is from the smaller C-Class.
