The all-new G30 BMW 5-Series is due to arrive in mid-2016, the model recently popping-up on the web in a new rendering, signed by Auto Zeitung.

As already previewed, the G30 BMW 5-Series will have a lot in common with the newly unveiled 7-Series, both at the exterior as well as inside, the models sharing the latest technology in terms of autonomous driving.

As we can depict from the rendering, the G30 BMW 5-Series keeps the latest evolutionary design, also seen on the 7-Series, meaning an elongated shape, with upright kidney grille flowing down the headlights, or rather the same air breather, along with the sleeker rear end which reveals the L-shaped LED taillights. The model might also get the optional laser headlights with selective beam.

Another similarity with the 7-Series is the CLAR platform that the upcoming 5-Series will be standing as well, allowing large displacements under the hood.

Inside, the cabin of the 5-Series will abound with the latest technology, like updated iDrive with touchscreen and gestures, along with autonomous functions that would help the driver in different situations. We are looking here at remote parking with smart touchscreen keyfob, gesture control, cruise control, and so on. There is now word on the engine lineup that would fit underneath, but we should expect fresh news in the upcoming period.

BMW has recently launched the BMW Compact Sedan Concept at the 2015 Guangzhou Auto Show, the concept reportedly leading the way for future 1-Series Sedan model.

We are not sure how the future BMW 1-Series Sedan would look like, but based on the Compact Sedan Concept, rendering artist X-Tomi Design has come up with his own interpretation in the rendering seen above.

The new-gen BMW 1-Series Sedan will be released next year and will be aimed exclusively for the Chinese market, and might wear a similar design as this one portrayed here.

We might see the future model with a sporty front fascia with a twin kidney grille, LED headlights, flared wheel arches, aluminum window surrounds, and other features also seen on the recently unveiled BMW Compact Sedan Concept.

More than that, the future BMW 1-Series Sedan is likely to sit on the company`s newest UKL platform, also found on the new 2-Series Active Tourer or X1, meaning that besides the conventional three- and four-cylinder engines with a front-wheel drive, we should also find an optional xDrive all-wheel drive layout.

Once it will emerge on the Chinese market, it will take on the new Mercedes-Benz CLA or Audi A3 Sedan. Prices and full specs will be revealed at a later date!
