Find your perfect 5 Series

Cars available now

The new BMW 5 Series is a better all-rounder than its direct rivals, combining a classy and user-friendly interior with impressive refinement and handling. Just bear in mind that some items of equipment that you’re likely to want are expensive options, and fully electric models (including BMW’s own i5) are cheaper to run as company cars.

While it’s ultimately not short of pace, you do have to rev this entry-level petrol engine quite hard to get the best from it. Fortunately, it sounds quite good when pushed, having a rorty edge. If you’re a private buyer, it’s worth considering, but it doesn’t make much financial sense as a company car.
