BMW 5 SERIES TOURING

-

Estate cars offer the practicali­ty and space of an SUV in a more understate­d package and the BMW 5 Series Touring is an impressive high-tech choice. This new luxury estate is sleek and sophistica­ted. It’s spacious, fits three child seats across the back and has a large load area. It also includes a wide boot opening, integrated dog guard and rear seats that split and fold at the touch of a button. The interior is comfortabl­e, luxurious and feels built to last, while the touchscree­n infotainme­nt system – complete with Wi-fi hot spot and voice activation – is intuitive and easy to operate.

A host of technology takes the stress out of driving, giving you a glimpse into the future of self-driving cars. Sensors, cameras, ultrasound and radar monitor the area around your vehicle, allowing the car to take over and keep a safe distance between you and other road users. Other options enable it to pilot itself in slow-moving traffic or on long journeys and its smart key can be used to park the car, check it’s locked or even set the climate control.

This is a relaxing car to drive, and it doesn’t feel like a large estate, thanks to smooth, easyto-operate controls and parking sensors on all models. It comes with a range of petrol and diesel engines and you will be able to drive confident in the knowledge that BMW’S excellent technology and safety systems are one step ahead of you. From £38,385
