There’s lots of 5 Series to choose from. Whether it’s the entry-level 520i, the latest 530e or the 530d, many of the key qualities are carried over. But this one’s special. It’s like an M5, but much more suitable every day. It just happens to have 523hp and gets from 0-62mph in less than four seconds.
💭 Out of interest, what’s your favourite 5 Series of all time? Let Howard know in the comments!
