The New BMW 5 Series: A Guide to Its Key Features and Technologies
This is the new BMW 5 series, and apparently, it's bigger, better, and packed full of even more kit than ever before. So, here we have the car. The new 5 series is built on an Adaptive version of the 7 Series platform, as a result, it's slightly wider and longer than the current Mercedes E-Class. While the boot capacity is increased by an inconsequential 10 L to 530 l, it's still 10 L less than the Merks thanks to its increased dimensions.
The new 5 series has improved rear passenger space, which is what more BMW has given the rear bench a more pronounced middle seat to make the car better for carrying three in the back. However, a large transmission tunnel still restricts foot space due to extensive use of aluminium and magnesium. The new 5 series body is 70 kilos lighter than the old cars, meanwhile, lighter brakes and wheels have cut a further 30 kg this takes the total weight saving to an impressive 100 kg.
The new 5 series gets BMW's latest iDrive with rotary input gesture controls and conversational voice commands. An 8.7 in screen is standard while the upgraded professional system has a glorious 10.2 in this time around BMWs letting owners customize the home screen of their car's infotainment system also apple carplay is being offered for the first time in a BMW, and the Wi-Fi hotspot allows up to 10 devices to be connected at once that'll be two per person then bit like Overkill really.

It features a similar active Grill which can close to reduce drag and this helps the new five be the most aerodynamic car in its class to aid efficiency and reduce wind noise inside the new 5 series takes a big step up in quality, the dashboard is similar to the 7 series with digital instruments and high-grade materials however the center console is more heavily angled towards the driver also sound absorbers in the headliner and acoustic glass help cut out outside noise.
