Looks miles better than the 7 or 4. But like all new cars it’s ridiculously expensive - especially the i5.

[dimitrihadzitomov]

So much black plastic bits that you'd think it was a Subaru. 😢

[slantia]

Looks like a bigger 2 Series Gran Coupe. Don't mind the front but the rear looks too pinched-in for me.

[davids]

Much too long for the UK. If they add 10cm every model change they'll be stretch limos for hen parties by 2050 !

[timbanks]

base 520i is bloomin' expensive - as is the E-Class :-( maybe I should just hang on to the current 5 Series I already

[maxy-spcn]

BMW designers have lost the plot!! The back looks like the Jaguar XF as well.

[trimley]

Cut the marathon adverts it’s a turn off

[FéargalO]

Crazy prices for the i5 electric version. If you want an electric BMW get the i4, almost £25k cheaper and better range.

[simonbradshaw]

Crazy prices and it seems BMW is phasing out all diesels in the UK whilst still offering them in Europe why? No mention of the driver assistance plus package will it be using Lidar technology and have hands free function?

[bodrulm]

Wish rear seat floor tunnel was flat in the electric. It means this is a 4 seater, not 5.

[omidnamin]

why can't bmw design cars anymore???

[Shocksink]

rear looks too soft....should look more aggressive

[endzenju]

Interior from sustainable sources means that it will start to rot right after the warranty ends...

[pbs]

does anyone else think the back looks like the new Accord?

[DoubleLProductuon]

Bro being back the 90s design wtf is this .

[jomo]

If this is like the beaver teeth M3, it looks much much better in person than in photos.

[snowcountry]

this is a compromise. BMW should make real EVs.

[lewis]

I lost interest in the 5-Series after the E60.
Probably bigger than an E38 7-Series now.

[Dark_Vader]

I'm in. The i4, iX and i7 are hideous and ugly so this is a big improvement.

[kenim]

The flush door handles and that new tailights make this car look extremely bland and uncharacteristic for the model. Looks like an A6 cousin.
