Taking it cues from the large 7-Series, the new BMW 5-Series is a little conservative.
Standard SE models get alloy wheels, while the racy M Sport versions are distinguished by an aerodynamic bodykit; larger rims and a lower ride height.
The BMW 5-Series? cabin sets the standard for the class. Not only is it spacious, it's beautifully built and thoughtfully laid out. And as you'd expect from BMW the quality of the materials is straight out of the top drawer.
Refinement is excellent, with road, wind and engine noise kept to minimum. All models get leather trimmed seats as standard, together with a classy high gloss black finish for the dashboard, centre console and door pulls. Climate control and ambient cabin lighting complete the list of executive car must-haves.
For its size, on twisty you will feel its size, but the rear-wheel drive chassis feels composed, and there is much grip and the steering is direct. Optional adaptive dampers and four-wheel steering help to improve the car?s dynamics, but will push up its price.
Exceptional build quality, six airbags and anti-whiplash head restraints on all cars, it?s blessed with a wonderful array of electronic safety aids to help you avoid an accidents and scored well in every area of the EuroNCAP test, making it one of the safest cars in the class.
