The eighth generation of the BMW 5 Series will appear in 2023. From diesel to plug-in hybrids to fully electric performance models, everything will be included. We dare to take a look into the future with illustrations and reveal what we also know about interior space and dimensions.

That is hideous.

I still dont care for the new front end/griil but it doesn't seem quite so bad with European style license plates. As a BMW owner it's still a deal breaker for me.

They look better in person IMO. At least for the coupe they have out.

That's encouraging. I might have to swing by a dealership and look at one.

wow so they seemingly followed the splitting of headlights to the lower grill design like the new kias and even chevys...interesting to see BMW follow instead of innovate.

we all know what we feel about the new kidney grills however...

Och

Looks like utter garbage. BMW completely lost their identity.

The license plate is like lipstick on a pig. Anything will make it look better.

I'm not keen on BMW's current design language, but it's important to remind everyone in the thread that this is nothing more than a fan render based on a car still heavily under wraps. So no need to jump the gun just yet.

As an aside, it's pretty funny to me that BMW is sharing names with Genesis.

The new 7er is next to be introduced and will roll out this hideous design language with huge grills and separated headlights.

The new 4er and M4 look just as horrible in real life as they do in pics.

I agree 100%. I too thought maybe it looked good in person and when I saw one it didn’t IMO. I looked at a new M3 and the only way I would get one would be if it was black. At least in black it hides the grille a little.

Having owned a few BMW's over the years, I don't think I'll be buying anymore for some time. The current design language is extremely laughable, and not in a good way. The current 5 series, which I owned for a while, was excellent and conservative in a good way, too bad this is the fate of it.

LexRuger

I agree. I don't love the 4-series but it's not ugly at all. This grill might work better on the larger 5 series.

Holding on to my baby 👍😍
None of the new BMW designs do anything for me and the new interior gauge clusters are probably the worst in the industry.

That is beautiful
