This is the most well-rounded car we’ve driven. It feels like a yacht on
the motorway, and a speedboat on the B roads. Above all, we were most
impressed with the tech inside. The ubiquity of smartphones means
our expectation of how simple and responsive technology should be is
stratospherically high. In-car tech usually suffers from this comparison,
feeling sluggish and unresponsive next to our smartphones. But the 5
series subverts that trend. Whether you’re using the self-parking, driving
assists or the connected app, everything is effortless, making it the saloon
to beat right now. 9/10
