Editor’s comment:The new generation of BMW 5 Series, with the same model and starting price for oil cars and trams, is actually the most conservative and effective way for luxury brands to enter the era of electric vehicles. The choice is left to consumers, and the flexibility of price adjustment is left to terminal agents. Anyway, users are coming for the brand, and it is the greatest success not to be robbed by others. The simultaneous launch of the two models not only highlights BMW’s firm determination to parallel fuel and electric technology, but also its deep thinking and innovative practice for future travel modes. The elegance of the new 5 Series and the sense of science and technology of the i5 complement each other, and jointly build a new era of diversified and intelligent luxury travel. At this moment, we expect these two models to set off new waves in the market, bringing consumers more yuan and more cutting-edge driving experience.
