The BMW 5-Series can be termed as one of the best buys in its segment
Verdict – BMW knows how to make a solid product and they’ve shown it with the new 5-Series. It has improved over the older model on so many counts that it can be termed as a solid all-rounder because it excels in almost every department like styling, comfort, features, engines, fun-to-drive and finding a fault with this sedan is next to impossible. In fact, it even offers things that its immediate rivals don’t and that makes the new 5-Series stand out. For someone looking to buy a large luxury sedan, we don’t see any reason to not consider the all-new BMW 5-Series.
