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
