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

Pros

  • Performance
  • Exquisite Driving Dynamics
  • Comfortable Over Long Journeys

Cons

  • Low Ground Clearance
  • Lacks Boot Space
  • Lacks Second Row Leg Space

Verdict

The prices are competitive enough and BMW will like to believe that the lack of a credible rival at this stage will help it capture the compact premium sedan market. The premium car buyer in India will like that it retains its traditional strengths and yet gives a bit more by way of luxury and comfort, giving it a more all-rounder appeal than before. Expect to see a few of these on the roads - could have been more - had the automobile market not been badly hammered down as it were.
