Most Helpful Review

M5 with batteries

Looks could be more aggressive, overall good, best if you are BMW fanboy, Standing out in the segment with the competitors, performance is always in DNA.

Overall good car

I got to use a used car from a car reseller in Delhi. It is a very fast and smooth to drive with no hiccups. Pick-up is fantastic and is quick even on comfort mode. The cockpit is unlike any car I have ever seen. The car has tons of options for customization, Rear seat has poor legroom and overall comfort, while the front seats are comfy. The only con I faced was that the car is hard on tires if you like to drive fast sometimes.
