There is a new LCI 6 series GT - is this not coming to the UK?
A sadly misunderstood car, my dad loves his and can't think of a better car for his needs.
Was going to ask earlier if you'd seen it, then realized that was a daft question!5 series LCI announced.
That's the next car sorted
Can't help thinking they are finally bringing the 550i to the G Series 5 - at a time where demand for such a thing will probably drop off a cliff....
The looks are the only thing wrong with it. It's basically a bigger and better specified 5 series tourer that looks a bit less utility and a bit more GT. It's a fantastic car.
It fixes the issue you get with a used 5 series in that they are all rubbish spec with base lighting and massive stupid wheels.

Lol and G for clar... Honestly you're reading way too much into internal company codenames
Just suggesting change to F. Chill out winston, it’s possibly the most ive thought about it... after all the Alphabet is on sequence
Just what is going on with the total lack of wheel choices? One 19 inch and one 20 inch both look basically the same and both are black

Just boring when someone comes in about same platform as clubman when my post already had said that. It’s like repetition corner here.

These are sort of ok? 1/3 black

Looks nice with I-PACE headlights
Why does everyyyy car have diamond cut alloys? They look great for a couple of years, but as soon as they get any sort of damage/stone chips to them, they go horrible and milky, then cost a fortune to refurbish which the only last 12 months at most.

Just say no to 20 inch wheels with 30 profile tyres.
It's a 5 series not a Boxster.
I've finally moved away from runflats on the F10 and I'd forgotten just how great the right tyre with the right sidewall height can be.

Didn't think you liked xDrive, but it appears you can't get a 30d without now.
I don't like xDrive but it seems there is little choice now but to suffer the extra weight and poorer efficiency for no discernible gain.
Shame to see the end of the 530i too, I sort of get it with the 530e but the 530e has such a pathetic fuel tank capacity it defeats the object of a 5 series.

Bling. Agree though not a massive fan of diamond cut, but you could quite easily refurb them a different colour.
And you can't keep refurbishing them
On the M3 I took them stragiht off and got a set of 18" painted ones.
If they get kerbed its only £50 odd a corner and they're good as new.

Those air performance wheels are quite neat (functionally) wonder if will sit nicely as an option to drop a car in tax band by CO2. Also has an option for recording video for dashcam like Tesla. Just not full Sentry mode.
OK it's not the wheels in the picture above , rather, they have more 'blanking' on the segments

nonetheless, different to tesla ... but maybe Teslas are function over form.
