BMW 5 Series facelift launched for Rs 46.90 lakh

BMW has launched the facelifted 5 Series in India. The 2013 version of the luxury sedan is basically a cosmetic update that now also gets a Modern Line trim with prices starting at Rs 46.90 lakh (All India ex-showroom).

The car that was unveiled in Europe earlier this year gets a few cosmetic changes both to the inside and outside.  The fascia gets updated kidney grille along with revised headlamp console and front bumper. The rest of the car is almost the same apart from few changes to the rear bumper, alloy-wheels, tail lights and exhaust pipes.  

BMW has not updated the petrol variants of the 5 Series and the 2013 car is available only with diesel engines. The new Modern trim line is available with the 520d variant and sits alongside the Luxury Line variant.

The 5 Series 520d variants are powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel unit developing 184bhp and 380Nm of torque. The 525d variant is available in Luxury Plus trim churning out 217bhp and 450Nm from a 2.0-litre mill. The top-end diesel version is an M Sport variant with straight six engine pumping 258bhp and 560Nm of torque. All the engines are coupled with eight-speed ZF gearbox that powers the rear wheels.
