[Videos] 2017 BMW 5 Series Touring – Motion and Design

In these first official design and motion videos, the new 2017 BMW 5 Series Touring is shown with the M Sport Package to highlight what it has to offer. The G31 sports wagon has all the ingredients to bring ultimate driving pleasure: balanced weight distribution, rear wheel drive and straight-six cylinders.

The exterior design of the new BMW 5 Series Touring instantly shows sportiness and versatility. There are precise contour marks in the front of the new Touring, where the standard LED headlights extend up to the forward-surging BMW kidney grille. The flanks combine the car’s distinctive geometry with harmonious proportions. Another contributor to the sporting aura exuded by the new BMW 5 Series Touring is its long roofline, flowing into heavily raked D-pillars. The rear window is framed by a roof spoiler with integrated auxiliary brake light and air deflectors at the sides. Lower down, a series of prominent horizontal lines and the L-shaped rear lights reaching deep into the car’s flanks accentuate the body’s width.

Inside the new BMW 5 Series Touring, a driver-focused cockpit design shares the stage with the premium ambience generated by a combination of contemporary elegance, precisely finished high-quality materials and a devotion to detail. The instrument panel rises up less prominently than in the outgoing 5 Series Touring, helping to create a generous feeling of space. The Control Display now comes in freestanding, flatscreen form. All seats benefit from appreciably greater head-, shoulder- and legroom, while optimised backrest contours, longer seat surfaces and extended kneeroom elevate comfort for the rear passengers. Further upgrades to the soundproofing provided by the windscreen, headliner and load compartment raise the acoustic comfort on board the new BMW 5 Series Touring to sedan levels. The increase in interior width allows up to three child seats to be fixed securely and comfortably across the rear.
