The new BMW 5 Series impressed the jury panel with its modern tech features and balance in performance and luxury that the platform has always provided. The new BMW 5 Series in India ranges from Rs. 52.00- Rs. 63.80 lakh (ex-showroom) and comes with a range of petrol and diesel engines along with a top of the line M-Sport package option.
