On sale since 2017, the seventh-generation BMW 5
Series is nearing its mid-life refresh, or Life Cycle Impulse (LCI) as the
Bavarians call it. However, the facelifted 5 Series G30 should arrive sometime in 2020,
unless BMW surprises us and shows it at the Frankfurt Motor Show this autumn.
To sweeten the wait until the reveal of the LCI, BMW will soon be releasing a 5
Series Carbon Edition.
Bimmerpost have broken the news
and have also got hold of three official images of the special edition model.
As the name suggests, the Carbon Edition is a sporty-flavored model featuring
several M Performance Parts.
On the outside, the model gets the beefier M Sport
Package complete with an array of M Performance carbon parts including the
front splitters, front lip spoiler, rear diffuser, and rear spoiler. Other
exterior upgrades include 19-inch M Double-spoke wheels (664M), M brakes, M
Performance rocker panel decals, M Performance matte black rear bumper trim, and
unique Carbon Edition badge.
Inside, the only upgrade the 2019 BMW 5 Series
Carbon Edition brings is the black Dakota leather upholstery with blue
stitching. In the United States, the Carbon Edition treatment will be available
for the 530i and 540i, including xDrive variants.
The price for the entire package is said to be
around US$ 4,668 and the market launch is expected in the second quarter of this
year.
