After seeing the new E class the next gen 5 series has a lot of catching up to do design wise.
This LCI update makes the car look very pedestrian

Disagree with you.
I think the overall design of the W212 is nice, but the details ruin the design and the facelift does it no favours. First the front fascia does not suit the sedan, it fits more with the sport-like character of the coupe. Second are the taillights. I didn't like the pre-facelift taillights but they were better than what Mercedes has on now.
Compare that with the 5-Series. First, the F10 5-Series is just a handsome car and the LCI does a lot to make it even better even if they did little. Squared-off headlights? Double-Slatted grille? Much more defined taillights? The only thing I don't like are the finisher rods, they look awkward but other than that, I still have the 5-Series at the top in this segment in terms of exterior design.
