We Drive The New BMW 540i - Is it a Business Athlete?

In many ways, the 5 Series is BMW. It embodies the classic BMW traits of classiness, sportiness, comfort and luxury. And in a segment in which competition is fiercer than ever, for this, the 7th generation 5 Series, BMW knew they had to produce something special.

And they've even given it a name. BMW calls this the "Business Athlete".

In this video, we try to find out what that actually means. We explore the Cape Winelands in the new 540i and discover whether this new 5 Series offers everything you might expect from the century-old Bavarian brand.
