2017 BMW 5-Series will be revealed on 13 October 2016
The latest tease video for the new 2017 BMW 5-Series confirms it will be revealed this Thursday ( 13 October 2016) and on sale in early 2017.
To be honest, we hadn’t expected the new 5-Series to be ready to roll until early 2017, but it seems BMW is ready to go, and the two latest tease videos (below) look like they’ll be the last.
Just how much of the new 5-Series will be revealed this week remains to be seen, because as far as we can work out there’s going to be an awful lot on offer with the latest version of a car which perhaps defines BMW more than any other.
Not only will we see the regular 5-Series saloon, but we’re expecting to see the 5-Series Gran Turismo (yes, the big-arsed 5-Series) continue as well as a new 5-Series Touring, and all sitting on a new platform promising lower weight, greater rigidity and cleverer packaging.
Under the skin we’re also expecting to see everything from a 3-cylinder 1.5 litre diesel with around 150bhp all the way up to 600bhp plus from the new M5’s twin-turbo V8, with a plethora of options in between – diesel, petrol and, it would seem, a plug-in hybrid too. There will also be xDrive 4WD options.
Technology will, as you’d expect, proliferate, not just safety technology but stuff like the Driver Assistance and Remote 3D View previewed in the teaser videos below.
Much more detail when BMW officially unveils the 2017 5-Series later this week.
