Ahead of its confirmed May 23 debut (early May 24 in Europe), the eighth-generation BMW 5 Series Sedan is revealing its rear design in a new spy shot. Since the roundel doesn't have a blue contour, we are inclined to believe this is a conventionally powered version rather than the electric i5. That's not too important since the ICE and EV will look nearly identical inside and out, therefore echoing the 7 Series / i7 and China's 3 Series LWB / i3.
We can only assume the photo depicts a pre-production prototype caught in Germany at the Dingolfing factory where the luxury sedan will be assembled. The small trunk lid spoiler tells us we're dealing with a 5er equipped with the M Sport Package, perhaps the M Sport Package Pro judging by the black side mirror caps and roof. Those flush door handles are similar (if not identical) to those of the i4, while the Hofmeister kink is a tad sharper than what we're used to.
