    Looking at the font grille I thought it was a Skoda.

    Too big, too ugly, too heavy, missing the classy analogue instruments that previous series used to have. Touchscreen and plastic panels are no substitute for traditional knobs and true action buttons. Overall the interior is a step backwards in ergonomics. BMW no longer understands what European buyers want.

      if you loose your ”home base” and support in Europe then you loose everything. The hardcore fans are the ones that build up the brand value and do lots of free marketing for the brand and make the brand cool.

      Personally I suspect that the German brands collude and decide that they will all remove buttons and have this giant screen instead (they have been caught before doing that)

      Seems like most potential buyers dont like it. So my advice is for the German economy sake – listen to your buyers.

    It’s very tall for a saloon which makes the proportions all wrong. The front bumper graphics are terrible. That black section that overlaps the kidney grill makes it look chinless and weak. Rear lights are pretty nice. Interior looks nice enough. But the shiny black plastic cheapens it.

      Even the Skoda Octavia has a bigger boot and more rear leg room. It costs half the price of a 5 series. Why do so few luxury car manufacturers focus on practicality?

    The Germans have a fixation to make cars bigger with every new model. People generally want smaller, lighter cars these days for better fuel economy. Seems to me this has been lost on them. As for overly bright headlights, it’s dangerous with the British habit of flashing them to high beam to signal a thanks or allowing you out at a junction when a simple wave of the hand is sufficient or flash the lights off and on at night

    Disappointing from BMW once again. I had an E34 followed by an E39, followed by an E38 – best cars ever. Would not go near a newer BMW, even with a barge pole.

      Wow . Very impressive line up there, mate !
      As you well know, the The E39 was possibly the greatest car of the 90’s and perhaps following decade. This one has an interior of a MG4, and the front look of a Skoda . All the elegance and class has been diluted out of it and that scrolling menu ! WTF?! How dangerous is that!
      Awful. Give me £3000 E39 ANY day !

    As a happy private buyer of new 5 series since 2004 I fear my current 520d will be my last. BMW have seriously lost the plot. Too big. Poor (no) engine choice. And as for the interior design. Not for me.

    No thanks.

    Ill keep my G30 thanks. Downgrade in terms of looks, interior styling (for me), looks like quality of interior is poorer too. Drive train options are boring and the cost of them has just exploded through the roof!
    Think the proper 5 series is dead.
    Will only sell to company car buyers wanting a good BIK figure.
    The Skoda equivalent looks nicer, is a damn site cheaper and looks more ergonomically designed. Never thought I would be saying this but BMW have lost the plot it feels like.
