Autocar UK first drive ' BMW 5 series prototype '

Just found out Autocar are claiming to have ' first drive of Munich's seventh generation executive saloon ' in their next published issue due September 7th.
May at least give us more clues before the official reveal......

Here's to hoping they say it drives like a 5er should!

Autocar UK's first drive review of the car is out now. Check it out: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/...-xdrive-review

Also found an additional early drive review by Car and Driver here: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...e-drive-review

Seems like so far so good with Autocar calling it "the best-riding 5 Series yet".

I would just be happy if the new G30 handled, rode and steered like my 07 E60 with Sport Pkg. That car was just about perfect.

My current 2015 Boxster has electric steering and it feels great. Why can't BMW imitate what they have been able to do?

BMW really disappointed me with my current 2012 535i. I don't see me upgrading to another BMW anytime soon as they can't seem to find a way for them to feel like they used to.
