BMW don’t replace the 5-Series very often - it’s a huge seller for them worldwide so they need to get it right when they do.
So just as we were thinking the old 535d was getting on a bit they bring out this latest model looking like a mini-7 Series to shut us up!
The front is very much a scaled-down 7, but there’s more athleticism in the body and a very clever AWD system under it. The new 5-Series is lighter than before too, so the less powerful 530d engine is just as quick yet more frugal than the old 535d.
Inside you can get every conceivable bit of tech and it’ll even park itself.
