2024 BMW 5 Series

2024 BMW 5 Series Exterior Details

While the last 5 Series featured a rather stately design, the new sedan gets an aggressive design with a shark nose-inspired kidney grille. It has also grown in size over its predecessor. The new 5 series is 97mm longer, 32mm wider and 36mm taller than the model it replaces. Its wheelbase has also increased by 20mm, now measuring 2995mm. Furthermore, the design of the 5 Series now falls in line with the larger 7 Series and BMW’s iX range of electric cars with flowing curves and a flat shoulderline.

The front end now features an illuminated kidney grille that come with air ducts in the ICE variants. The all-electric i5, on the other hand, features a closed off grille to aid aerodynamics. Around the side, the new 5 Series gets a flat stance along with flush-fitting door handles. At the rear, the new 5 Series now features slim LED tail lights that are joined by a chrome strip. Furthermore, the M Sport variants also add sportier bumpers and gloss black inserts all around.

2024 BMW 5 Series Interior And Features

Step inside the new 5 Series and you will notice the cabin borrows several design influences from the larger 7 Series. It gets a curved binnacle on top of the dashboard that houses a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment system. The latter offers wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay along with BMW’s virtual assistant. With the 8th-gen model, BMW have minimised the use of physical buttons by incorporating most of the functions into the head unit. Like the 7 Series, the new 5 Series also features hidden AC vents and prominent ambient lighting on the dashboard and door cards.

Government Allows E100 Fuel For Flex Fuel Cars

Government Allows E100 Fuel For Flex-Fuel Cars – What Changes For Buyers?

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) have amended the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989, to formally recognise E100 fuel for compatible flex-fuel vehicles.  The change creates a clearer regulatory pathway for automakers to develop and certify vehicles that can run on higher ethanol blends, including fuel containing 100% ethanol. However, it does not mean that existing petrol cars can use E100 or that the fuel will become available at every petrol pump immediately.
