The India-spec model has not gone through the knife, and it is identical to the global-spec model. The new-gen 5-Series looks distinctive yet easily recognizable. The headlamps get swept-back treatment, while the softer lines are now swapped with razer-sharp creases. The use of chrome is limited, it instead gets a brushed finish around the grille, which features piano-black inserts and light surrounds. It rides on a set of 18-inch alloy wheels, which can be upgraded to larger 19-inch M-Sport alloy wheels. The new 5-Series is longer as the name suggests. It now tapes in at 5,165 mm in length, 2,156 mm in width, and 1,518 mm in height, and it boasts a 3,105 mm long wheelbase. It is the largest car in its segment now.
