If the GS-F existed it would probs be the best looking mid size super salon, down on power and porky but still a looker.

It now weighs the same as a base trim Tundra at 2440kg.

BMW forgot how to build lightweight cars in just one generation.

 

[Och]

5400lbs for the M5, this is simply brain damage.

But BMW fans will remember and remind of the 1750 kg heavy RCF.

Taking a guess here, its probably the tradeoff for using one platform for multiple propulsion systems. That being said, if the package outhandles the previous gen (i believe this is slower 0-60 then the previous gen) it should be fine and buyers still lineup this wont mean anything to the designers besides program success.

Mercedes and BMW's solutions truly makes no sense, but then again isn't them overdoing things a very stereotypically German thing to do? 😂

Should just make a M7 at this rate….

It's almost like the 5-Series was always meant to be a wagon. This actually looks good compared to the sedan.

LOL. This really is a lowered XM.

Obese cars matter, we need more fat acceptance.

Overweight cars tear up our roads quicker, say no to overweight cars 🤣
