Competition is always good and its even better when the German giants are slugging it out.
BMW has pre-poned the launched of the all new 5-Series F10 in India by a couple of months. The car will now be launched on the 30th of April instead of the July 2010 launch date announced by BMW earlier.
Mercedes Benz has taken the lead from BMW in the executive luxury car market with the new E-Class outselling the BMW 5-Series by a ration of two to one and has also launched the Coupe variant recently. Keep to claw back its lost market share, BMW wants to launch the new 5-Series as soon as possible.
Its not yet clear which models of the new 5-Series will be launched but rumours point at 535i and the 530d. The new 5-Series will be launched as a CKD and the chennai plant has already been altered to assemble the new model.
BMW is clearing the current stock of the 5-Series by selling them at heavy discounts. If you are fan of the ‘Bangle styling’ and like your 5-Series to be more driver oriented, rush to the nearest BMW dealer to get your hands on the current one before they are sold out!
