BMW has been producing the current generation 5 Series for almost two years. While it is too early for a life cycle impulse, a remarkable update has arrived quietly. Before the LCI reaches the assembly line in about two years, the G60 now has new window switch. Well, they are not completely redesigned per seBut the change is immediately noticeable. Yes, the buttons on the door panels now have a shiny black finish.
Whether this is an upgrade or downgrading is up to debate. Some were of the opinion that the previous keys looked cheap and the (subjectively) upscale appearance could welcome. However, it is no secret that shiny black surfaces tend to attract fingerprints and dust, which could share opinions. BMW has also updated the mirror adjustment and the suitcase publication with the same high-gloss finish.
Pictures taken in a BMW dealer in Langenhan, Westerwaldkreis, Rhineland-Palatinate, show the revised door buttons. In addition, the surroundings now have a shiny black finish. These changes before the LCI indicate that BMW has taken the customer feedback to the interior of the G60 to the heart. While you are a minor, you can point to significantly more refinements that are probably planned for the upcoming facelift. We hope this is the case.
The 5 Series is expected to receive the next generation of the next generation of BMW, that could Add a newly designed dashboard with a larger central touchscreen. As BMWblog Previously reported, there is also an optional screen with front passenger. Whether BMW improves material quality remains unclear, but this small update offers hope that the LCI will increase the 5 Series to its correct place.
I would certainly have more physical buttons on the dashboard, but unfortunately this ship is sailed. The vision of new class concepts suggested even fewer switchgear. In fact, BMW gets rid of the IDRIVE turn button. At the moment, all 5-series models that were built from March 2025 are equipped with the black high-gloss finish on the door controls.
We also attached pictures of a 2024 model to highlight the differences.
