The BMW stand in Hall 11 of the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show was also the host of the brand new, facelifted F10 5 Series. No less than 4 different models were put up for display, covering almost all of the range's engines.
From an aesthetic point of view, changes on the LCI models were minimal. The headlights are now a bit slimmer and the lower side of the front bumper has been redesigned. The Gran Tourismo, on the other hand, went through a lot more, looking a lot better now than its predecessor.
Most of the improvements came in the engine department and onboard. The iDrive touch system was implemented on the new cars alongside a new diesel unit that is powering the 525d models, that develops 218 HP and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque from a 2-liter unit.
Apart from the 525d Touring model, we could also spot the 184 HP, entry-level 520d, the 245 HP 528i xDrive and the 313 HP 535d Gran Tourismo, all of them in flashy new colors.
The LCI 5 Series starts at $49,500 for the 528i in the US for the Sedan and $60,000 for the Gran Turismo 535i model.
