autoX Award 2024: The new generation 5 Series marks a change in BMW's strategy. It arguably places as much, if not more, emphasis on rear-seat comfort, but that comes at a slight compromise in terms of driving. 2024 autoX Awards: The launch of BMW's new 5 Series has had a considerable impact, especially in terms of pricing.
