BMW has launched the 5-series facelift in India. The facelift sees cosmetic updates and additional features on the 5-series.
Exterior updates include a slightly more pronounced front grille, chrome surrounds for the front fog lamps, updated front and rear apron, re-styled lower air intakes and slimmer, sharply countoured tail-lamps. The side turn indicators are now integrated with the wing mirrors. The updated BMW 5-series luxury saloon gets new-design alloy wheels and more paint shades.
Standard equipment includes adaptive LED headlights and LED fog lamps. The interior ambient lighting can be alternated between orange and white while the iDrive control screen comes with a trackpad on the control dial and also gets a chrome border. The carmaker claims increased storage spaces on the inside and improved fuel consumption with the help of a function that disengages the powertrain when coasting. An added feature allows the opening and closing of the boot with a motion of the foot under the rear bumper.
