The 2024 BMW 5-Series Touring Can’t Come Soon Enough, Here’s What It May Look Like

This story contains independent renderings that are neither related to nor endorsed by BMW.

BMW recently launched the 2024 5-Series in ICE and all-electric i5 guises, but it has not yet unveiled the car in Touring form. While we don’t have a date as to when this new version will be showcased to the world, a rendering artist by the name of Theottle has also imagined how such a car could look.

The process of turning the new 5-Series sedan into an estate on Photoshop is relatively easy. To do so, Theottle started out with the roof from the current 3-Series Touring and pasted it onto the 5-Series. As standard, the roof of the 3-Series Touring suits the new 5-Series quite well but some alterations had to be made to ensure everything was perfect.

For example, the artist tweaked the profile of the roof to better match the 5-Series while also painting it in the same shade of red that the sedan was presented in last week. The chrome side window surrounds of the 3-Series Touring have also been finished in black for a more subtle look that to our eye, suits the 5-Series a little better.

The exterior design of the new 5-Series is quite different than the model it replaces but it remains to be seen if the brand’s customers will be receptive to the dramatic new look. BMW itself says the new 5-Series is “more present and elegant than the 3-Series, more dynamic and sporty than the 7-Series.” This is particularly evident with the angular new headlights, front grille, and air intakes, as well as the flush door handles and the sporty rear end with slim LED taillights.

BMW is expected to sell the 5-Series Touring with the same powertrain options as the sedan. This means that the electric i5 will also be offered as a Touring and could be topped out by the same M60 xDrive variant as the sedan. This model has a pair of electric motors that combine to produce 590 hp at 8,000 rpm and 586 lb-ft (794 Nm) of torque.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i

Denver Driver’s Sidewalk Shortcut To Clear Construction Turns Into Destruction Derby

I’m sure we all know what it feels like to make a bad decision that leads to an even worse decision, only to later realize that we should have just cut our losses at the beginning. But I bet very few of us have likely experienced that nightmarish feeling on quite as large and destructive a scale as one driver in Denver, Colorado, recently did. In an incident that appears to have taken place on Champa St., in the city’s central business district, the driver of a Chrysler 300 found themselves on a sidewalk, next to the street, which was under construction. Video of the incident was captured by a pedestrian, and posted to Reddit . Unfortunately, we don’t know how this all started, as the footage starts in media res , with the Chrysler already deep into the construction zone, trying to force its way through. advertisement scroll to continue Read: If You Don’t Crash A Ford Mustang At First, Try Again And You Shall Succeed Video Reddit On an apparent walkway for pedestrians,
