BMW 5 Series Touring Video Review - Auto Express
  • 5 years ago
We take a first drive of the new BMW 5 Series Touring to find out how it stacks up to its German rivals.

Slightly bigger than before and packed with lots of clever features the new BMW 5 Series Touring is designed to take on the Mercedes E Class Estate and Audi A6 Avant.

Key features on the new 5 Series Touring include an opening glass rear screen, an automatic luggage cover which retracts when you open the boot and rear seats which can be lowered at the pull of a lever in the boot and can also be spilt 40:20:40 for added practicality.

The BMW 5 Series Touring's total available boot space is 1670-litres - that's up 60-litre on the old 5car. And while this still be may be 280-litres down on the Mercedes E Class Estate, the BMW pulls back some ground with its superior driving experience.

The 5 Series Turing is fast, comfy, refined, and when the road gets twisty, good fun too. And if you go for the 520d, which can do 54mpg, it's cheap to run too.
