Still the best high-performance saloon in the world
Benchmark premium executive saloon
Has BMW created the perfect estate car in the latest 5 Series Touring?
A second hand BMW that still feels modern – and cheap to run
Breathtaking performance, superb handling, comfortable, excellent equipment levels
Very thirsty, high emissions
Awesome engine and performance, precise handling, available as an estate
High running costs, no manual gearbox, stiff ride
Understated elegance, engines, driving pleasure
Little chance of finding a bargain
Supremely refined, incredibly spacious and high class cabin, clever twin-opening tailgate, practical and large boot
Rather ungainly looks, not as agile to drive as a standard 5 Series
Aspirational image, great to drive, exceptional fuel economy on diesels, modern cabin
Styling still not to everyone's taste, firm ride
Wide choice of strong yet efficient engines, good load area, great to drive, superbly built cabin
Styling still not to everyone's taste, similar-sized estates offer more boot space
Understated elegance, practical, image, good to drive.
Hardly a proper estate car.
