There are few cars available today that have such a broad range of talents and appeal as the BMW 5 Series. All models are larger and, arguably, more comfortable than the 3 Series. It's been rated as the best 'small luxury car' so consistently that it's almost assumed you'll be driving one very soon if you're looking for a car in this class!
One of the main explanations for the BMW 5 Series Saloon's enduring popularity is that BMW has done a truly great job of keeping it up to date, whilst not jumping for any ‘in trend' and usually pointless changes. After all, why change something much when it's so good in the first place?
The nation's favourite luxury small car was treated to a facelift in 2020. It gained LED headlights as standard, a bigger and more aggressive grille, a chunkier body kit and a dusting of other features designed to please.
But the Series 5 isn't just popular because of the frequent updates – in fact, the very way that it remains mainly unchanged is testimony to the fact that it's nearly perfect as it is! BMW also keep the Series 5 at the top of its game by offering plenty of choice and masses of options. Just take a look at the specs and you'll see what we mean.
Seriously, if you're looking for a smaller luxury saloon car that ticks every box, don't walk passed a test drive of the BMW 5 Series Saloon. It's stood the test of time for a reason and regular updates mean that it hasn't just been put out to pasture to be admired!
