With days before the official unveiling, rendering artists continue to have fun with the new BMW 5 Series. While many of the design details have been unveiled already, there are still some small design elements left to be seen. Our friends Jon Sibal went ahead and gave us a preview of what the next generation 5 Series might look like with Performance Parts.
Let’s have Jon walks us through the rendering process:
“The initial bumper design usually are very tame and “safe” for most BMW models and the F10 is no exception. Then later on, BMW will offer their M package option or the BMW Performance which leans more on sportier designs which rivals the best aftermarket aero kits out there.”
“This F10 rendering features my front bumper and side skirts design inspired by the BMW Performance 1 and 3 series. I also used the split five spoke BMW Performance wheels and finished it off with the full side body graphic stripe consistent with all the full BP cars.”
For reference, here are some pics of the BMW Performance cars.
Not bad looking, right? Okay, maybe a bit too aggressive for a sport luxury sedan, but we won’t be surprised to see many aftermarket parts trying to imitate this look.
