The luxury saloon business has always been a warmed-up affair in the Indian market. As much as Indians love cars with high mileage and high ride height, they have an equal affinity for large luxury saloons, especially those coming with great driving dynamics. For this very reason, BMW India has received a great response for the 5-Series sedan. Now in 2024, it is launched in its 8th-generation rendition at an ex-showroom price of Rs 72.9 lakhs. Interestingly, the new-gen BMW 5-Series goes on sale in India in a long-wheelbase format, and there's just one trim on offer - the BMW 530Li M Sport. How does it fare against its rivals in terms of pricing? Well, let's give it a read.
