When we here at Hendrick BMW Northlake got wind of our beloved Bavarian brand's plans to totally redesign its midsize sedan, the 5 Series, for the 2017 model year, we initially didn't know quite what to make of the news. After all, we appreciated the outgoing version so much, we weren't sure how the automaker might improve upon it.
And then, the 2017 iteration arrived. And, instantly, we understood why BMW took the tack it did.
See it for yourself in the clip below. Here now to highlight some of the 5 Series' winningest qualities is Kelley Blue Book Senior Associate Video Editor Zach Vlasuk:
The level of standard appointment offered by the base 530i trim is enough to make your head spin.
Such features include 18-inch wheels, LED adaptive headlamps, driver-selectable vehicle settings, LED foglights, a sunroof, dual-zone auto climate control, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, 16-way power front sport seats and premium vinyl upholstery.
If you'd like to meet this marvelous machine "in the metal," or wish to put one through its paces on the open road, we encourage you to pay us a visit at our Charlotte, NC location. Upon your stopover, we'll be sure to set you up with a test drive in the 5 Series, or any other BMW model that's ensnared your attention.
