The 2017 BMW 5 Series grew in size but not weight thanks to its use of high-strength lightweight materials. New engines let it increase power but not consumption, and a new double-wishbone front and five-link rear suspension setup leave things looking good in the athleticism department, but don’t celebrate just yet.

You control it using buttons on the steering wheel, touchscreen, rotary dial, and traditional console, so figuring out where to be at any given point will take time.
