TEASED! BMW's FIRST Video Clip Of The All-New 5-Series Gets Us Prepped For An October Debut

The BMW 5-Series is one of the world's most popular four-door, luxury sedans. We don't foresee that changing any time soon though I will note that Mercedes-Benz's E-Class has been doing quite alright in its own respect.

And I cannot stop seeing enough of them on the road — the all-new Es, mind you.

BMW though is preparing something special. That would be the all-new 5'er. While we're confident it will feature much of the same technology first debuted in the all-new 7-Series, we're a bit curious how much BMW will change its design. If the research and development vehicles we've seen are any indication, we think it's safe to say that it will follow the 7's inspiration. In other words, it will be a very lightly changed all-new design that largely carries over the F10 5-Series' look and feel.

The interior, on the other hand, should get some fancy new tech.

Where the all-new 5'er will be differentiated from its elder is with how much weight is shed. For years we've been seeing BMW take all-new approaches to being weight conscious. While we do not believe the Germans have the economy of scale to do carbon fiber construction in the 5, do expect to see featuring more aluminum to lighten the load.

The all-new 5 will premiere for the first time in October.

Stay tuned.


Innovationen verwirklichen, die keine Grenzen kennen.
Das Leben vereinfachen.
Jedes Ziel erreichen.
Vollständig vernetzen.
Durch mitdenkende Funktionen den Arbeitstag erleichtern.
Mit sportlichem Design vorausfahren.
Präsent und fordernd zugleich.
Die Spur halten und den Abstand wahren.

Das Unnötige delegieren, um sich auf das Wesentliche zu konzentrieren:

Die Freude am Fahren.

Das ist die innovativste Business-Limousine ihrer Klasse.

Das ist der neue BMW 5er.

I find it telling how little the car is in the video. When the all new 5 looks the same as the car it replaces, then we have what we have here.

GM learned with the new Camaro - no matter how much better that car rides - handles - or has new tech - if the don't make it LOOK newer (Ie - different) - people have less reason to trade in the old car. Since few drivers actually use the new tech features of these cars - they may as well BE the older version. At least Mercedes has made clear generational changes. Remember - when GM once changed its cars every year - with new platforms every other year or so. People need to be seen in what is perceived as a new car. The stagnant BMW and AUDI designs are simply not working

If this is true, the new 5-Series will be dead on arrival. BMW's new 7-Series sells in fewer numbers than the previous version. In Manhattan, spotting a new 7-Series is not an easy thing to do.

Yes, the all-new 7 is pretty hard to locate in the NY Tri-State region though I do like it as a product.

This is the most suck-ass teaser video I've seen. I see taillights that I've been looking at for the past 8 years. A guy running in a garage. Someone jumping into water. A bridge. A logo. A plane. Barely a hint of the actual car. Me thinks MDarringer is onto something ...

What is with BMW's awful marketing strategy? Who teases a car and shows the tail lights, which haven't even changed, for all of 2 seconds and makes the rest of the teaser nothing about cars at all?

Is this a commercial for a car or some other product? If the viewer doesn't know what the commercial is for, it's pretty awful marketing.

How much do you want for the kayak?

I have had three 5-series. The market has changed. My family needs more room. Currently drive a 2013 X5. BMW better not screw up the X7. If so, hello Range Rover.
