World Car Fans sows us the upcoming G30 BMW 5 Series testing out in the wilderness and from what we can tell, it is very promising.
It looks like a smaller, tighter 7 Series. The headlights and large kidney grilles are new. We can also make out new taillights, which seem to be much wider and shorter than before. The new exhaust pipes look cool and might signify that this is a 550i model or possible M550i, being that the current 550i is the only 5er to use rectangular exhaust tips like that. From the rear view, we can also see that the air-breather that BMW has been using lately is present.
This is going to be a very important car for BMW. It will be based on the new 7 Series platform which utilizes quite a lot of lightweight construction, thus reducing weight by around 200 lbs. That could make a huge impact in performance, handling and even ride comfort.
