While the real G30 5-Series might end up not looking too different compared to the current F10 model, this rendering does have a certain boldness to it.

There are plenty of things we know about the all-new 5-Series Bimmer. For starters, it will be based on the 7-Series’ platform and it will be lighter than the current model by about 100 kg (220 lbs). It’s also safe to say that the new car won’t grow too much in size, but BMW will probably have tinkered with the G30’s wheelbase a bit in order to better accommodate passengers.

Tech-wise, we might be in for a real treat since the car should be able to park itself just like its larger sibling, the new 7-Series. Whatever happens in terms of on-board gear, rest assured that BMW won’t let the 5-Series fall behind its premium mid-sized rivals.

Speaking of which, this car will not only take on the Audi A6, but also the new Jaguar XF and the next-gen Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which we already know will come with a rather predictable design.

The G30 5er is still somewhat of a question mark from that perspective, though it wouldn’t be bad at all if it somehow ended up looking exactly like it does in this rendering. The headlights and taillights by the way look dynamic and well integrated into the design, as does the significantly larger front grille (compared to the F10’s).

The only thing that doesn’t really fit is the angle of the C-Pillar, which is a bit thick and makes the trunk a little shorter that what we could tell from our spy shots.

Would you guys rather the G30 be more of an evolution of the F10, or would you rather it looked like this?
