Yet another product that has taken BMW’s LCI program is the 5 Series. It was under testing since last year and countless spy shots were floating on the internet.

German magazine Auto Zeitung has printed the facelifted 5 Series on their cover page and we have a scan of it now thanks to Auto.blog.rs. As one can see, it is exactly like the model that was caught in China.

The BMW 5 Series (F10) model was launched three and a half years ago and is ready for a LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) update. The facelift includes a restyled front bumper with chrome elements, redesigned headlamps, optional adaptive LED lights and new front fog lights. It will also include a new exhaust pipe, new alloy wheels, refreshed interior, new Connected Drive features.

No major changes have been done to the mechanicals, it is powered by the same engine lineup mated to the same 8-speed gearbox. This 5 Series facelift will be available in the same Modern, Luxury, Sportline levels.

The BMW 5 Series facelift debuts at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show and production will begin in July. The facelift updates will eventually trickle down to the Touring and Gran Turismo models too.
