The headlamps get swept-back treatment, while the softer lines are now swapped with razer-sharp creases. The use of chrome is limited, it instead gets a brushed finish around the grille, which features piano-black inserts and light surrounds. It rides on a set of 18-inch alloy wheels, which can be upgraded to larger 19-inch M-Sport alloy wheels. The new 5-Series is longer as the name suggests.
