Locally produced at BMW Group Plant Chennai, the BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase is available exclusively as a petrol variant. The BMW 5 Series is one of the most critical models for the German luxury carmaker. Globally, it has been the market leader in the prestigious executive sedan segment for years.
Around 10 million units of the car have been sold since the first generation was launched in 1972. Introduced as a Long Wheelbase version for the first time in India, the BMW 5 Series is 5,165mm long, 2,156mm wide and 1,518mm tall with a 3,105mm wheelbase, making it the biggest car in the segment. The BMW 5 Series will take on the popular Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The iconic BMW kidney grille of the 2024 5 Series Long Wheelbase is flanked by adaptive LED headlights having LED DRLs. The rear has slim LED taillights with 'twin light' design. The new Hofmeister kink is shallower and broader with an elegantly embossed '5' badging.
The car drives on 18-inch light alloy wheels or 19-inch M alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. The kidney grille surround, front bumper stripes, rear bumper accents and window graphics (frame, mirror base and C-pillar trim) of the 2024 BMW 5 Series are available in two exclusive finishes – Titanium Bronze and Aluminium. The panoramic sunroof connects almost the entire roof surface.

BMW will offer the first 500 customers of the new 5 Series individually customised headrest cushions in the rear. The 2024 BMW 5 Series has a driver-oriented BMW curved display and a BMW interaction bar with touchscreen functionality. The BMW curved display consists of a 12.
3-inch instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment. They merge into a single fully digital and high-resolution display unit.
The illuminated BMW interaction bar looks like a piece of crystal jewellery. It extends below the trim strip across the entire width of the dashboard, into the door panels, integrating the ambient light, AC controls and invisible air vents. The car also gets a Bowers and Wilkins surround sound system.
