The videos were quickly picked up by several motoring websites and immediately generated a buzz in the community.

The most talked-about of the three videos is the one with the car codenamed G30. In the said clip, the G30 uses its high-tech autonomous cruise system, while the driver simply uses hand gestures to control and operate the car's sat-nav system.
Based on the latest videos, along with a single photo released before the Paris motor show, it appears that BMW did not make any radical change in terms of the cars style. BMW may have a point in this: Why fix something that is not broken?
Based on a handful of spy shots being tossed around motoring blog sites, the upcoming 5 Series sedans will be slightly bigger than their predecessors.
There are also rumors claiming that although BMW did not make any alteration on the car's façade, the auto company made some serious overhaul on the car's tech system.
According to Motoring, like the BMW E-Class, the upcoming sedans are also equipped with semi-autonomous cruise system which can control the car's steering, brakes, and even changing lanes.
There are also rumors hinting that despite being bigger, the new 5 Series sedans are lighter by at least 100kg compared to their predecessors. BMW was able to shed so much weight, thanks to its new platform which was taken directly from the 7 Series. It blends lightweight aluminum with carbon fiber composites and steel.
