BMW 5 Series: Front fenders
Air Breathers are also used on the front fenders of the G30. The Air Breather
is an air outlet behind the
front wheel, which diverts the air flowing into the rear region of the wheel
well in a controlled manner
towards the fender in order to reduce turbulences in the wheel well area. As a
result, the drag and fuel
consumption of the vehicle is reduced, which in turn means a reduction in carbon
dioxide emissions.

Trunk
A trunk made entirely of Aluminum has been used for the first time on the
G30. As a result, a weight
reduction of 4.2 kg / 9.5 lbs was achieved over the F10. The multi-part layout
of the trunk is achieved
with the aid of state-of-the-art laser welding techniques.
