Bad seating cushion

BMW 5 Series

I don't have this car but I have driven it couple of days and I know the experience of my friend who have this car and it was amazing. Best in Class. Looks are pretty neat not much loud but love the way it looks and performance is next level. It does have a 2 liter straight 4 cylinder B48 turbocharged petrol engine with the M sport trim which looks like a cherry on the cake. The way it pulls is something obnoxious. The moment you get hard on the accelerator more it rewards you and talking about the driving dynamics, the car feels planted at higher speeds, goes well into the corners, body roll is well contained but feels a little bouncy on higher speeds. But it's a overall package or performance and luxury. Maintaining a BMW is a bit of a task. You really need a deep pocket to maintain this car but luxury and performance comes at a cost and that cost defines it very well. So, maintaining this will be hard but it will put a huge smile on your face when you will drive it.
