However, with the evolving preferences of Indian consumers, additional significant features have come to the forefront. BMW 5 specifications Just like the highly popular long wheelbase variant of the 3 Series in the Indian market, the latest generation of the 5 Series will also introduce a long wheelbase version. The primary concern for many enthusiasts is whether this evolution of the 5 Series has compromised its fundamental characteristics.The latest iteration of the 5 Series showcases a distinct design departure from its predecessors. The updated look boasts more defined angles and an overall smoother appearance. Notable features include BMW’s iconic shark-nose kidney grille at the front, complemented by a robust hood design. The addition of Titanium Bronze accents surrounding the grille adds a touch of sophistication. The twin LED DRLs contribute to the commanding presence of the 5 Series LWB.

In terms of dimensions, the new 5 Series surpasses its forerunner, measuring 212mm longer, 32mm wider, and 41mm taller. The Hofmeister kink on the side has a modern twist with a ‘5’ embossed on each end of the C-pillar.
