All of its uber-high-end luxury cars will get split headlights, big grilles, and ostentatious designs, such as the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/08\/16\/bmw-7-series-cashmere-silver-aventurine-red\/\"> 7 Series<\/a> and X7. However, anything less luxurious will get more subtle, simpler designs, such as the next-gen 5 Series, and we get to see that in these new spy photos. (We don\u2019t own the spy photos but they can be seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2022\/09\/2024-bmw-5-series-continues-its-striptease-and-gives-us-a-better-look-at-the-front-end\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>These new photos show off a bit more of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/08\/21\/2024-bmw-5-series-phev-spy-photos\/\">5 Series<\/a>\u2018 design than we\u2019ve seen before. It\u2019s still heavily camouflaged but there\u2019s less than usual, which means you can clearly see its crisp shoulder line, almost all of its kidney grille, the majority of its headlights, and some of its taillights. So far, it looks simple, crisp, and handsome. While its grille is big, it\u2019s nowhere near as monstrous as the 7 Series\u2019, which is a very welcome sight. It also looks pretty well integrated into the front end\u2019s design.<\/p>\n<p>Its headlights are interesting, in that they wrap around the fenders similarly to the E60 5er\u2019s. They sort of swoop upwards as they blend into the fenders, similar to Bangle\u2019s famous E60. It\u2019s a design we\u2019re going to have to see uncamouflaged and in the flesh to determine whether it works. However, it does look promising.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_432881\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-432881\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-scaled.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-432881\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"06 BMW 5 15 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 06 BMW 5 15 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-432881\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"06 BMW 5 15 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/06-BMW-5-15-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 06 BMW 5 15 830x553\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-432881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2024 BMW 5 Series PHEV spy photo \/ wilcoblok on Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The sharp shoulder line looks nice, too, as it adds a subtle athleticism to its side profile. And, as with all new BMWs, it gets flush door handles. One minor note on BMW\u2019s flush door handles: BMW, please add some grip to the underside of them because they\u2019re smooth and small and my fingers slip off easily.<\/p>\n<p>While we can\u2019t see the interior of the 5 Series in these photos, you can expect it to have iDrive 8 and the same new digital dials as cars like the 7 Series, iX, and i4. For the most part, the setup is an improvement over previous iDrive 7 setups, though we do hope BMW brings back physical climate controls.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this next-gen 5 Series looks to be a handsome, sophisticated, and sporty looking sedan. It should separate itself well from its Mercedes E-Class rival by being a bit more athletic looking. Thankfully, though, BMW is keeping it simple with the 5er and isn\u2019t giving it a face like an irradiated beaver. Hopefully, that same handsome design makes its way to the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/09\/01\/bmw-i5-touring-us-market\/\">BMW i5<\/a> and M5 and BMW doesn\u2019t pull a switcharoo on us like it did with the 3 Series and M3.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2022\/09\/2024-bmw-5-series-continues-its-striptease-and-gives-us-a-better-look-at-the-front-end\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Car Scoops<\/a>] [Spy photos by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wilcoblok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">instagram.com\/wilcoblok<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMW\u2019s plan for its future design language is going to be two-fold.
