Leaked Details of the New 2022 BMW 5-Series
BMWs are leaking like water through a sieve these days, with leaked photos of the new 2022 2-Series coupe and the new iX3 crossover hitting the internet this week. Moreover, BMW has had yet another new model slip out before its official debut: the 2022 5-Series. This information comes from a post on the BMW fan forum Bimmerpost.
What to Expect from the 2022 BMW 5-Series
When the current G30 generation 5-Series was released, it didn’t look very different from the car that preceded it. Fun fact: BMW calls mid-cycle updates “Life Cycle Impulses.” However, we’re going to stick with the term facelift, as it accurately describes the updates performed to the exterior of the forthcoming 5-Series. This refresh appears to align the model’s styling much more closely with that of the current 3-Series.
Key Design Changes
- The updated 5-Series features a new M-Sport package front bumper.
- It comes with a fresh set of multi-spoke wheels.
- Gone are the traditional four circular headlights; instead, the model adopts “double hockey stick” daytime running lights.
It’s essential to note that this leak pertains to the European-spec vehicle, meaning there could be differences from the North American-spec model. One aspect that seems consistent is the size of the updated 5’s grille. This is positive news since the facelifted 5-Series maintains a grille similar in size to the existing model, suggesting BMW may be responding to customer feedback.
Interior and Technology Upgrades
The new 5-Series also boasts refreshed taillights and is expected to feature several updates within its cabin. An updated infotainment system, new technology integrations, and potential enhancements to the powertrain and suspension are all possibilities for this mid-size BMW sedan. However, these details will remain uncertain until BMW fully unveils the model.
In conclusion, you can take a look at these leaked photos and decide for yourself whether you like the car’s new aesthetics or not.
