Five things you need to know about the new 2. BMW 5 Series. BMW has found itself in the unusual position of playing catch up when it comes to executive class saloons. When the latest Mercedes Benz E Class emerged on the market earlier this year it set a fresh marker in the sector, while slightly further up the scale Teslas constantly updated Model S has the competition licked when it comes to driving itself into the future.

Tech is now a major driving force. Think of BMWs range of saloons as siblings the 7 Series is the bigger, older brother, the 3 Series is the whippersnapper, and the 5 Series is the one in the middle. The 7 Series is always the one to get things first when theyre sparkly and new while the other two have to wait until their pesky big bro has outgrown the features before theyre handed down. Some of the 7 Series fancy features and more are now arriving in the more mainstream 5 series and it is clear that BMW sees car technology as a key battleground. Take the key, for instance. The 5 Series gets the same smart key with a touchscreen display that the 7 Series uses though the i. It not only lets you check the fuel range you have remaining without the car even being within sight, it also lets you pre set the temperature in the cabin before you get in.

However, BMW says you will now be able to adjust the volume in the car and answer phone calls without having to touch a thing instead you can control these elements with hand gestures, like some sort of in car wizard. But the tech fest isnt just limited to infotainment there are new advanced features that help improve performance too. Take the Integral Active Steering system another gizmo the 7 Series has gone without and active anti roll suspension to ensure the 5 Series corners with agility but remains flat all at the times. Its longer, taller and wider than before, but that also means it will be more spacious. The enlarged kidney grille now have the LED lights incorporated into it one styling feature that should help you tell it apart from the old one. Its semi autonomous, so sit back and relax. Sort of. Thats right, everyones upping their automated driving game at the moment. The 5 Series has optional active cruise control, active steering and lane keeping assistance systems all of which combine to control motorway speed and direction of the car at up to 1. Autobahn, of course. As with Teslas Model S, this means the car can almost drive itself on the motorway staying in lane, slowing down and speeding up with traffic, and switching lane when it judges it to be safe if you tell it to with the indicator. But, its not autonomous and the car is not allowed to let you sit back and do nothing. You must keep your hands on the wheel There are sensors on the steering wheel that know when youve relinquished grip and bark at you when you do, so youre still some way from reading the paper on your drive to the office. The cruise control system will alert you if you attempt to drive the wrong way down a motorway, round a roundabout or along a one way street. The radar and GPS assisted cruise control also predicts when you do and dont need the stop start system to engage. But while it might not be able to drive itself just yet, it can stop you making an idiot of yourself. The cruise control system uses GPS from the sat nav and its own integrated radar and camera system to predict if its worth engaging the stop start system in slow rolling traffic and even alerts you if you accidentally try to drive the wrong way up a motorway it happens, round a roundabout or down a one way street. It will even let you know if other vehicles have priority at confusing street junctions. But what about when youre not in the car at all Well, the 5 Series can drive itself to a limited extent then. Thats because it gets the same Parking Assistant function the 7 Series has that lets you remotely back it into a garage using the touchscreen keyfob. The same system also measures available spaces on the street and takes control of the steering to self park if you dont feel up to the challenge. Looks are getting even more similar. Germanic design leaves little to the imagination these days. In fact, we think they must be experiencing a recent shortage of pencils at Audi, Mercedes and BMW, as cars are starting to look the same as fellow models. This is a trend that is very easy to spot on Audis, where the A4, A6 and A8 have for some years carried the same look, and is now happening at BMW and has even spread to Britain, where Jaguars XF and XE adopt the same style. This new 5 Series is no different. It looks very similar to the 7 Series. According to BMW, when compared to the outgoing model, the new 5 Series front is sleeker with LED headlamps now integrated with the brands kidney grille. The lights are glass covered for the first time too, replacing the old plastic covers to give an increased shimmering glow. Running along the profile of the car is a more prominent shoulder line stretching back to the tail lights, while the bonnet shut line has now been eliminated. Having said that, unless you are a BMW aficionado, side by side on the street you might struggle to spot the difference. Face to face The new 5 Series left and the model it replacesSlide meThe 5 Series left might be smaller, but you can definitely tell where the design inspiration came from when you layer it onto the bigger 7 Series. Not only has it had some very subtle styling tweaks, the 5 Series has also grown, thanks to sharing a platform with the bigger 7 Series. The wheelbase is now 7mm longer and the entire length of the car has extended by 3. Series. BMW says the new car is also 6mm wider and 2mm taller, so it should feel much more spacious inside. Despite all the gut busting, the boot has only increased by 1. The quickest model in the range at launch will be the 5. Drive petrol. It will cover the 0 to 6. Porsche 9. 11 Carrera. BMW will also offer this 5. Series. 4. Its lighter and faster. As weve mentioned above, the 5 Series is based on a new chassis derived from the underpinnings of the 7 Series. While it might be bigger, its also lighter, shaving some 7. This is mostly thanks to a wider use of aluminium on the body, plus lighter brakes and alloy wheels. All of that translates to better performance. Even the slowest new 5 Series, the 5. The model most people will opt for the 5. Mario And Luigi Superstar Saga Rom. Drive version.  The quickest of the lot at the time of launch will be the 5. Drive petrol which we imagine will be rather pricey. It will cover the 0 to 6. Porsche 9. 11 Carrera.
