Pros Cons of BMW 5 Series

Pros

  • Great Ride And Handling
  • Gets Both Petrol And Diesel Options
  • Premium Interior With Smart Features

Cons

  • Petrol Trim Only Comes In One Variant
  • Second-Row Not Good For 3 Occupants
  • Cabin Design Looks A Bit Dated

Verdict

The 5 series continues to impress with its dynamic capabilities but a more contemporary face and tech laden cabin has made the car even more appealing than before. It starts at ₹ 62.90 lakh for the Petrol version while the 520d is priced at ₹ 63.90 lakh. Top of the line 530d will set you back by ₹ 71.90 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). It is going up against the likes of the recently launched Mercedes E-class, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF.

Pros Cons of BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine

Pros

  • Looks like an executive sedan
  • The long wheelbase really provides a lot of space
  • The 3 Series GL does not have much competition

Cons

  • Could have been generous with features
  • Suspension is a bit taut
  • The 3 GL misses out on some creature comforts like rear seat controls for the media

Verdict

India is the first right hand drive market anywhere in the world to get the car and of course the focus here is on the extra space inside the cabin, specifically for people in the rear seat. The 3GL is promising to offer more comfort at price which may not be beyond your reach and as a chauffeur driven car it is right up there in the segment. The 3 series sedan starts at ₹ 42.30 lakh (ex-showroom). In comparison this long wheelbase model is expected to be priced between ₹ 50 and Rs 54 lakh.
