See pictures of the all-new BMW 5 Series saloon, on sale in 2017
The BMW 5 Series is a genuinely impressive car to drive, with powerful engines and strong levels of grip 
The 5 Series is quiet and comfortable on the motorway, yet also manages to be hugely engaging on smaller roads BMW's large saloon can be ordered with four-wheel steering for improved cornering It may look similar to the outgoing car, but the latest 5 Series is completely new under the metal Like the four-wheel steering system, the optional adjustable suspension adds further driving finesse Rear passenger space is equally impressive, with adults getting masses of room back there The 5 Series' boot is competitive in its size, but it's not as square a shape as we'd like Although it's very well-equipped, BMW's options list for the 5 Series is sophisticated and expensive The front of the latest 5 Series has been sculpted for maximum efficiency, helping the 520d return around 70mpg Cars like the 5 Series may be losing ground to SUVs, but the 5 Series reminds us how good a large executive saloon can be While most models come with 18 or 19-inch alloy wheels, note the 520d has 17-inch alloys The 5 Series is available in SE and M Sport trims, with the latter having more agressive looks and uprated brakes As with many modern cars, LED lights help the latest 5 Series cut a dash at night 5 Series customers can choose from a range of petrol and diesel engines, with a hybrid model due later The BMW 5 Series' dashboard is a masterclass in high-quality executive luxury Sitting in the back of the latest 5 Series is no hardship: leg and headroom are excellent At 530-litres, the 5 Series boot is on par for the class, but the Mercedes E-Class' boot is better-shaped The silver scoops behind the front wheels are a telltale sign you're looking at the latest model Large alloys certainly make the 5 Series look good, but smaller wheels may make it more comfortable Go for the "Gesture Control" option and you can swipe your hand in the air to reject an incoming phone call Christian Schulte
