CarExpert's Take
Scott Collie
Contributor
Scott Collie drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Show-stopping interior
- Ultra refined driving dynamics
- Engine packs a punch for a four-pot...
Misses
- ...but not compared to what the 5er has usually offered
- More expensive than ever
- Higher-tech interior isn't easier to navigate

Senior Road Tester
Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- It's hard to think of another four-door that looks this good
- Beautifully upholstered cabin with swathes of leather and (optional) carbon-fibre
- There isn't a better-sounding V6 – at least in this class
Misses
- Value equation isn't as compelling as its looks
- Display tech is way behind rivals
- Busy ride on some surfaces
