Spied in the open on multiple occasions so far, the 2024 BMW 5-Series sedan has been seen lots of times. But this one is different: Take a first look at the all-new 2025 BMW 5-Series estate, snapped in all-electric i5 guise. The lesser plastic cladding matches that of sedans recently spotted, and the tester wears the production lighting units at both ends.
Think of the 5-Series – be it sedan or estate – as being evolutionary rather than revolutionary, with its sweptback headlights that haven’t been split, and normal-sized kidney grille. The front bumper appears to be a bit more curvaceous, but that could be due to the plastic cladding. Flush-mounted door handles, and three-dimensional taillights are also visible here.
Look for the curved display inside, which will combine the infotainment system and digital dials in the new dashboard panel. New switch gear, smaller shifter, bigger iDrive controller, and new steering wheel will be found here as well, next to the usual upholstery and trim revisions, and the latest comfort and technology gear, because this is still an executive car.
Gasoline and diesel units will make up the engine family, joined by the plug-in hybrid assemblies, and electric powertrains. The next-gen M5 will go down the electrified route, and it is believed to share the powertrain with the XM.
The next 5-Series sedan could be due in the first half of 2023, perhaps launching as a 2024 model, with the estate pictured here following some 12 months later.
