BMW had made some minor upgrades on the 5 Series at the Geneva Motor Show and now we will soon witness the launch of this titivated version on the 10th of October. BMW won’t want to leave any stone unturned, as the E-Class has been the best seller for Mercedes-Benz and Audi had recently introduced a special edition of the A6.
The revised 5 Series gets revised front bumper design, with new front grille and some other minor changes to the rear and new alloy wheels. The diesel engine options are likely to remain the same, with a 2.0-litre diesel engine and 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine in two avatars. However, the petrol is likely to get turbocharged petrol mills to reduce the carbon footprint and make it more competitive. BMW’s are known for their Efficient Dynamics and the 5 Series will continue with the finesse.
The Munich-based manufacturer had recently introduced the 1 Series in India and soon, we can also expect the 3 Series GT to make its way. This new 3 Series GT is likely come as a complete body unit.
