5 Series [Official] 2020 BMW 5 Series G30 LCI (Facelift)

[Matski]

I noticed that on the Alpina Configurator earlier, didn't pick up on it being a special edition, but thought it was odd the standard B5 had gone from the model list...

... assumed it was part of the slow-wind down of Alpina as we know it.

... anyhow.

B5 GT...

... and for the wagon fans ...

BMW Alpina B5 GT Limited Edition, with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 engine making 634 horsepower (466 kilowatts) and 626 pound-feet (850 Newton-meters) of torque.

It's often hard for me to choose between equivalent Mercedes and BMW models. The Alpina variant tips the scale for me every time, and this B5 GT might be the last ICE BMW I would consider as an option.

What a machine!

Is this the perfect 5-series configuration?

Agree.

Furthermore diesel clatter and vibrations are less of an issue in the 5 and 7 which have superior insulation to the 3.

The 5er LCI is perfection .....sedan or wagon.

This one looks like the spec I test drive when this generation 5er arrived on our shores in 2017.
The 540i is the one to choose if you want a good sporty 5er. ( I personally would steer clear of the 550i because of engine reliability issues.)
The latest 5er is a great driving car. My only issue with it was the lack of dial-in feedback through the steering. Turn-in was crisp but I felt no road info in the process. (The Cadillac CTS I drove absolutely killed the 5er with steering feel) The next 5er should be improved in that area. Materials, seat comfort, and overall ergonomics are top-notch.

Most new cars have numb steering. The steering in the G80/G82 is highly engaging but not ZOMG orgasmic in feedback.

M550i sounding awesome and accelerating like a cheetah hunting its lunch.
