BMW just released a video showcasing the facelifted version of the 5 Series vehicle range.

From what we can gather from the video, it seems the German car maker didn’t go wild with restyling the 5 Series, and maybe it’s for the best.

It is understandable that a car should go through some changes during its lifetime, but each should be backed by some sort of reasoning. Right now some facelifts seem to be uncalled for.

The 5 Series never was an ugly car, and BMW are quite aware of this. To this end, the facelift was nothing major, leaving the vehicle pretty much the same. The video starts with the 5 Series sedan, presenting it in its home environment, the city, then moves on to the Touring version, finishing off with the more recent Gran Turismo.

BMW also makes sure to present in their video some of the new features available on their 5 Series, namely the HUD, Driving Experience Control system and the iDrive touch system.

When some photos of the new 5-series surfaced in China, it left the impression that what we saw in them was just the chinese version of the german car.

Now, thanks to Auto Zeitung magazine, we have the official photo of the F10 5-series. It came as a let down or at least a surprise to find out that the chinese photos were, in fact, of the international version.

There have been only minor changes to both the exterior appearance and the interior design, with no alterations to performance. It is a product of the Life Cycle Impulse (LCI), or in simpler terms, facelift.

Changes made come in the form of a new styling for the front bumper with chromed features, some alterations to the head lights, brand new fog light and the optional adaptive LED lights. You will also have the choice of new wheel designs and a remodeled exhaust. The interior has had even less cosmetic surgery done, most obvious being the reworked ConnectedDrive.

BMW will start production of the facelifted 5-Series in July, so if you like what they did, you can start hashing out your calendar until then.
