BMW’s on a roll this year, having launched a bevy of new cars. Its sedan lineup now consists of six models, including the updated 6 Series GT and the 3 Series Gran Limousine, both of which straddle the segment occupied by the more recently launched 5 Series facelift.
So how does the 5 Series still stay relevant? By staying true to its ethos. What makes the 5 Series is the balance struck between fun behind the wheel and comfort in the rear seats. The facelift that arrived late last month adds some fresh design elements and an updated infotainment system, but retains these essential qualities.
Of the three variants, the 520d is the only one that comes with the staid Luxury Line trim, while the 530i and 530d get the more aggressive M Sport package. It’s not that the Luxury Line trim is badlooking; in fact, the design changes that came with the facelift such as the new ‘kidney’ grille and slimmer LED headlights make it look more purposeful. It’s just that the M Sport suits it better.
