Car and Driver reports that BMW is committed to give buyers a better looking car in the form of the upcoming 5 Series GT. The same source says it will be far sleeker-looking than the current model.
The 5 GT will have the same proportions as the first generation, but with design cues imported from current BMW models – the headlights flow into the kidney grille, the sporty character line sits across the side of the car, while the slopping roof line meets an appealing boot design.
Inside BMW will stay true to its classy, sporty and premium design, but with a new touch. We expected to see a redesigned dashboard with the free-standing LCD display and tons of premium features currently found in higher-end models – like the new 7 Series. We will see the new iDrive system with touchscreen and gesture-based functions and the over-the-air updates for the car.
By using carbon in the body structure, the curb weight should fall by up to 100 kilograms which will sharpen its driving characteristics and help with fuel savings as well.
BMW is expected to show its new 5 Series family this fall at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.
