The BMW 5 Series has been described by many as “dynamic”, “advanced”, “sporty”, “engaging” and even “handsome”.
Its strong shoulder lines and chiseled body enable it to make a stylish and athletic impression on anyone who lays eyes on it.
Inside, features such as Ambient Light and Ambient Air create an exclusive atmosphere inside the car and ensure maximum comfort, even on long journeys. With Ambient Light, you can choose from 11 different lighting effects to suit your mood, while Ambient Air enables you to make your car even more exquisite and personal with a choice of eight multi-layered scents.
Whether you’re heading to the office to start your day, or heading home for a relaxing evening, these lounge-like features are exactly what you need.
Keeping you entertained and updated while you’re on the go is the intuitive iDrive infotainment system, which can be controlled by a rotary dial, gestures, touchscreen interface or using voice control.
iDrive is complemented by the BMW Connected app, making your on-the-go lifestyle effortless. You can activate climate control from anywhere at anytime or schedule trips and be alerted when to leave based on real-time traffic, and this is only the beginning!
Helping ensure a more relaxed journey is the optional Driving Assistant system. Utilising multiple cameras and radars, it constantly monitors the car’s surroundings. The system can apply the emergency city brake if necessary, detect vehicles in blind spots from 20km/h and faster, and can also recognise speed limit signs to let the driver know if they are driving above the limit.
Far more important to driving enthusiasts is how entertaining the BMW 5 Series can be in their hands. Engineered to deliver maximum driving pleasure by slicing through corners and devouring long stretches of pavement, the BMW 5 Series has well-tuned suspension components and a stiff chassis for optimal agility and handling.
The BMW 5 Series is available in different drivetrains, ranging from the turbocharged 2-litre inline-4 in the BMW 520i and BMW 530i to the turbocharged 3-litre inline-6 of the 540i and 4.4-litre V8 in the BMW M5.
If you’re looking for a BMW 5 Series that’s both sporty and eco-friendly, you should choose the BMW 530e iPerformance, a plug-in hybrid vehicle. With a total output of 252 HP and 420 Nm, it does 0 – 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. With its lithium-ion battery fully charged, it can also cover up to 50km on pure electric power alone. Now that’s enjoying the best of both worlds.
The BMW 5 Series is intelligent, athletic and above all else, utterly compelling. From January to March 2018, the BMW Group sold 94,733 units of the 5 Series, which was a 14.5 percent increase from the same period last year. It was the best quarter yet for the model.
As this rate, the only model that can top this one would probably be the next-generation BMW 5 Series.
