The 2017 BMW 5 Series is going to be launched in India on 29 June, expected to be priced between Rs 52-65 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). For the Indian market, BMW plans to offer three engine options, all paired with eight-speed automatic gearboxes. There will be two diesel engine options – a 190hp, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder unit in the 520d and the larger and more powerful 265hp, 3.0-litre, inline-six under the hood of the 530d. The 530i will be the one with the petrol engine option, with a 252hp 2.0-litre unit. The new BMW 5-series is also expected to be offered with gizmos such as gesture control for the iDrive system, adaptive dampers and a remote parking function, depending on the variant. The standard kit, though, is expected to include multiple zone climate control, electric adjust front seats, LED headlamps and a host of safety systems.
