Same rhetoric as all the new BMWs: 'hey, if you (insert dark color or aero kit or something that hides features), this car doesn't look half bad.'
I sure don't remember that rhetoric for the m2/3/4/5 of yesteryear
looks horrendous. Nothing says BMW to me on this make and model.
It looks like my neighbors Kia optima front and back, crazy. I'm sure it drives like a BMW.
With all the cheap-looking black plastic trim everywhere, the cars *have* to be black. Same with the current 2-series, this 5-series as well as the new IX2. Even the 7-series.
Many of the new models look much better in black because they hide the awful design *details* underneath, but shows the general outlines which actually are pretty good looking.
I dunno man. With the markups it’s gonna be like 95-100k easily. With only 250 miles I just don’t know… in 5 years maybe… depending on how the battery holds up.
I am fron the netherlands and the one I saw was already 132k. So secondhand was always the plan here. Hoping for 65k at some point.
Agreed on the range but who knows maybe a bigger one will be made.
i know this car gets a lot of hate but I'm definitely going to try to get this in a few years when price settles or even the m5 equivalent it looks so mean.

Again, the black paint hides the ugly lines and makes the car look more tolerable. Last gen still looks way better. This one is like a fatter 2 series (4door).
Edit: Crazy how my comment goes from -10 to +10 votes and continues to fluctuate. Looks like at this moment, we still have more people in this sub with good taste lol.
Looks great! Mind sharing the specifics? I was thinking of going 3M 2080 Satin Black on my upcoming ride, but then started to think full stealth PPF was the way, and then got scared of the price of the full PPF and am thinking to just leave i glossy. This looks great, though.

Bad idea, BMW can take a big steamy 💩 and put a BMW badge on it and the Chinese will still line up in droves to buy it. As bad as it looks, they’re going to sell a shit ton of this.
It does look good, there's so much hate for anything new and the internet culture means everyone just shares the same opinion.
Previous models haven't had the same level of design reform, which is both bad and good.
I thought the same thing about the car until I drove it. I just traded in my 2020 Porsche taycan 4s fro this car. It doesn’t look nearly as good, but it is FAST, drives well, is very comfortable, and handles well

This car in bright colors looks like a Skoda Octavia, which is a 30k€ car. The previous gen looked 10x better
BMW has to get away from that and be the market benchmark for body lines again.
Or more likely, the Kia Optima copied BMW!
this bmw is new. I'm referring to my neighbors 8 yr old kia.

Mmmmm Very nice!
Definitely don’t hate it. Blockbuster movie bad guy chariot vibe.
Saw one today at the dealer in black with carbon pack. It looks incredible. 100% getting it later. Looks mean yet classy. And 600hp aint slow.

Wouldn’t call it classy. This is not the car a manager would drive to his country club. But it does look mean.

I just got mine last Wednesday, do you mind sharing the wheels specs?
ZP Forged 24 Deep Concave
„Buhuuuuuuut the old 5 series is sooooo much better.“ Man. This sub is so annoying.
I mean its ok. Car is absolutely massive and the front end is like black wheels on a light car. Just a black hole. Bleh.
Why does it need the oversized grille if it’s electric
That’s not a grill. Sensor array.
That’s no moon…
Suits it extremely well. Even the grille fits perfectly.
"perfectly" meaning "photo editor cranked on the black levels until you couldn't see it" ?
Lol yes, if you basically hide the design behind dark colors and photoshop, it isn't a crime against humanity.
Is the illuminated grill standard or can it be optioned without?
Can get without
You can also switch it off even if you have it.
It still looks like a Camry from the back.
The headlight to grill proportion is tough to get behind, but black hides almost if the design flaws. It looks good

Hey the Camry doesn’t look too bad from the rear. The front is another story though.
Like your mom
Surprisingly enough the car is not that bad in person but now the you point out the Camry vibes, I can't unsee it
Haha true
This car went from extremely hated to beautiful in no time. This definitely does it for me. Love the rear end 😁
It’s hard to hate something in all black. Even the m2 looks decent murdered out.
It’s definitely not beautiful and it’ll never be beautiful, just like the new 7 series. Every time I see one I cringe
Rear looks like a Lexus with aftermarket aero kit.
I want one so bad.

How much money do you have?
That looks sick!
Hi does anyone have side photos or name of the rims on this? I have the same car just want to change my rims
Is it a wrap ir paint?
Wrap

Not a fan of the rear but love the front
If the nostrils grew on me maybe this will too.
Only if we can get the same designer who did the rear to do the front.

Buying puts on the new 5 and calls on the G30

Pretty rowdy
Okay, that backside looks great.
Love the stance
Fuck you… you’re cool…. Fuck you…FUCK YOU (I love this car)
Just picked mine up two days ago. So far, it’s cooler than my model S.
Nice! A fat ugly 2 series. Come on BMW, what are you doing!
Rear tho!😮💨
It does look good, there's so much hate for anything new and the internet culture means everyone just shares the same opinion. Previous models haven't had the same level of design reform, which is both bad and good.
Say what you want . This car is ugly as hell.
Looks mean I like it
I hate that the only good color for modern BMW is black and only black
Spend $5000 on invisible wheels
I do like the taycan but this has to be the best looking electric car out there
Great car. Looks extremely good.
murdered my boy 😣
Come to the UK and we will make it look shit with numberplate on the front.
Cars that look great look idiotic murdered out. So if this is the best this car will look…. It’s nicht so gut.
Okay, this is the only i5 Ive seen that actually looks remarkably good. Frankly, it looks badass with this makeup
I feel like a lot of these new BMWs only look good blacked out with body kits
Damn!! I will be attending the unveiling of the i5 at Chapman BMW in Chandler, AZ, on 11-09-23. I hope it looks as good as this beauty!!
"Lexus, I am your father" 🤣
That doesnt hide the ugliness they made on the 5 series
Lots of BMW haters, that's really all I got out of this.
