This is the best car, I ever ride. This is the car 2hick gives you everything. Such as Luxury, comfort. And everything what you paid for. Before this car I used fortuner. But when I purchased this. I got everything. This is the best Luxuriest car of Mercedes Benz in my opinion. I always want to have a Mercedes, now I have Mercedes Benz CLS

Dream car

Waiting To Make It Drive In My Garage , as soon as I get rich ;) , the styling interior & exterior and sporty engine made me fall for this #BMW5Series and The 2998cc Turbo Diesel Engine.

2017 BMW 530d First Drive Review

By Omkar Thakur03 Nov 2017

Today I am feeling important. Like a CEO or an entrepreneur out on his fun weekend. I might even receive a call from a quietly competent assistant who will brief me about the week ahead. But right now, all I want to do is attack the next corner. You guessed it right. I am driving a fast saloon, the new generation BMW 5 Series and the 530d at that. Of course, I am grinning from ear to ear as I punch this barge through everything to find out if it is really the executive luxury sedan you would want to buy.

BMW 5 Series 520d Luxury Line First Drive Review

By Ameya Dandekar31 Aug 2017

BMW somewhat lost their way with the F10 generation 5 Series which was launched in 2010 in India. Sure it was more luxurious than before but it felt too heavy and lofty as compared to the agile E60 gen. So with the new generation G30, BMW are aiming to blend luxury and taut driving dynamics more seamlessly and going by the spec sheet they have thrown the kitchen sink at this brand-new 5 Series.
