The new BMW 5 Series fended off stiff competition from the likes of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A5 Sportback and cabriolet, the Volvo V90 Cross Country and the Lexus ES 300h. 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.
