New 2007 face lift 5er pics

528imsport · 01-09-2007, 04:00 AM

Well I like the new 2007
it not much of a face lift on the outer skin which is good they kept the same shape thank god.
They kept the same shape on the lights which is good.
I good thing is that the back end of the wheel arch is not like the MB which sticks out like a shor thumb thank god too, it blends in more much better and smoother.
I love the intee layout much better.
I wonder if my sway and tower bars will fit on this 2007 5er
Basicly I like it even better.
Itis tempting to order 1.

well here are the computer render pics that i grabed from the web.

O come on I think you have seen woest 1 than this and I think these are the best part of the car

BigO1120 · 01-09-2007, 08:42 AM

There's not much a difference. But I still love the body.

vladinecko · 01-09-2007, 09:48 AM

i can't see what's different, really. these "promo" shots always look better than real ones but even on these pics, i can't tell the difference.

cm3rc · 01-09-2007, 01:37 PM

still looks the same.

Jay_328 · 01-09-2007, 03:08 PM

yeah, what's new?

hemi to e90 · 01-09-2007, 03:20 PM

you really cant tell the difference? is that chrome i see now eeeewwwwwwwww

ksfrogman · 01-09-2007, 04:06 PM

I don't like the bottom portion of the front bumper. It's too bland now.

enwhykiid · 01-09-2007, 05:53 PM

is it just me or does the car look exactly the same except for the headlights a little bit

soma4u · 01-09-2007, 07:38 PM

i cannot stand those friggin headlights

AH · 01-09-2007, 09:02 PM

i don't see a lot of differences with the previous one, probably on the chrome part in the front bumper.

I agree. I hate the 5's headlights. Not a fan of the back either. e60 is my least favorite Bimmer.

Bimmerista · 01-09-2007, 11:04 PM

I really like the 5 series and therefore like the minor changes on the outside. On the inside I think they did a great job and technologically, they went all DI with the engine line-up so that's good.

I am afraid for the re-design in 2010-11 when, if Autobild and Huckfeld are right, the rear lights will look a bit too generic.

findtom · 01-10-2007, 01:15 AM

The re-design will be interesting to see in a few years. The current gen of 5 series has to be the most controversial bimmer ever released.

That would in fact be the 7 series, when it was introduced. And then followed the Z4. The 5 series was not as controversial as those 2.

NaTuReB0Y · 01-10-2007, 12:27 PM

5 series = fugly

voltron1011 · 01-10-2007, 12:30 PM

This new one has significantly flared fenders over current gen's.... It almost looks like the current M5...
Sign me of for the 08 535i!!!

edgarj · 01-11-2007, 04:50 AM

Much, much better! They really subdued the ugly that was having it's way with this car. It's still a 'precision barge', but it isn't a total eyesore now. THe sideskirts diffuse the "slab" sides nicely, and the rear is a massive step away from Bangle. They should still nix iDrive as a standard option. I have it and love it, but it is a matter of taste and really limits the experience for many older customers.... as in almost all 5-series customers. Without Nav, iDrive is much less novel. It looks like a LWB e90 now, & with better tail lights.
