The BMW 5 Series LWB is a perfect luxury sedan if you are looking for features, comfort, and a refined engine option. It offers immense space for the front and rear row passengers, comes with a plethora of features to keep you happy inside the cabin, and the torquey petrol engine is a bliss to drive. Also, the improved ride quality helps in added comfort. However, the absence of a diesel engine or any other powertrain might deter some potential customers, but if you are looking for a luxury petrol sedan, the 5 Series LWB undeniably stands out as a top contender in its segment.

  The seats are super comfortable. Due to extra padding in seats, it provides extra cushioning and supports my back well without any discomfort.
