The new BMW 5 Series is upon us and South Africa can expect to see it in March 2017. There are four engine derivatives coming to South Africa in the initial launch: 520d, 530i, 530d and 540i.
Its mission statement: setting new standards. The BMW 5 Series is the embodiment of the modern business saloon. Thanks to its dynamic and simultaneously elegant appearance, it convincingly meets the expectations that are placed today on a vehicle of its class: aesthetic athleticism and driving pleasure with state-of-the-art technology.
Where dynamics are concerned, the BMW 5 Series shifts the boundaries. Powerful engines impressively transmit its sporty exterior to the road. Yet apart from power, the BMW 5 Series is not only able to offer power but also brains. This is because the progressive technologies of tomorrow which enable it to exploit its dynamics to the full make it a true hero.
