If you have experienced the BMW 5 Series, get ready to race
it up with the sports version of the sedan
The recently launched upgraded version of BMW’s popular 5
Series, has added an M Sports Package. We get behind the wheels to figure out
whether it’s just a cosmetic upgrade or potent enough to be a mechanical
advance over its predecessor.
Exterior
This latest generation of the 5 Series offers an enhanced
exterior design, which now comprises of a larger front grille, chrome surrounds
for front fog lamps, re-carved lower air intakes, along with a front and rear
apron, and a pair of sleeker tail lamps. Its 18 inch alloy wheels and turn
indicator integrated with the side view mirrors, further help in bringing out
its overall design.
Interior
Having altered its exterior design, BMW has also spruced up
the interiors of this sports model, in order to provide a better level of
comfort than before. The first step towards this direction is the inclusion of
a new instrument cluster that lights up in red, the moment you slide it into
the sports mode. Conversely, the comfort and eco pro driving mode caters to an
analog meter. What’s more, the German automaker has gone and improvised the car’s
drive system, which now features a bigger 25.8 cm display, along with a track
pad available on the controller. This is quite useful for the end user. Two LCD
screens for rear passengers comes as a standard fitment. In this version of the
5 Series, the front seats offer better thigh support, with the rear seats
providing ample comfort to the passengers.
Engine
There are no drastic changes under the hood; however what
has changed is the sedan’s performance output, which now offers 12 bhp more
than the previous generation. The torque figure remains the same.
Verdict
5 Series has been one of the bestsellers for BMW and
this one is no exception. It is improvised both on the inside as well as the
outside, giving it an immense appeal. Its performance is the icing on the cake,
completing the package on the whole.
