This model will be BMW’s second LWB offering in India, following the 3 Series Grand Limousine.
The new BMW 5 Series maintains the exterior appeal of the standard model, with an illuminated front grille, similar headlamps and tail lamps, an illuminated “5” emblem on the Hofmeister kink, new alloy wheels, wraparound LED tail lights, and a sculpted rear bumper featuring integrated reflectors.
As for the performance, the 2025 BMW 5 Series LWD will feature a 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged petrol and diesel engines with mild-hybrid technology, paired with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The equipment list includes a 14.9-inch curved display with BMW iDrive 8.5, a new three-spoke steering wheel, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and an automatic climate control system.
