  • Road Test: BMW 5-Series (2003-)
    Executive by: Richard Bremner
    BMW 5-Series (03- )
    IMAGE RATING:

    BMW styling entered a controversial phase with the new 7-Series and the Z4 roadster, and this new 5-Series certainly bears a few unusual sculptings. But its styling appears more integrated and satisfying than the Seven's, while simultaneously appearing progressive and modern. BMWs are hardly exclusive any more, but the company's high quality and increasingly high-tech image remains, even if some consider it (and the behaviour of BMW drivers) over-aggressive.
