First time for car leasing and looking back at the process, everything went smoothly. Quite a lot of paperwork to sign before getting a delivery date but i suppose it’s all part of the course. David Harding was very helpful from start to finish and helped me with all the questions that i had. I can’t speak highly enough of David. The car was delivered by a very helpful and pleasant man ( Jim ) , who showed me all that i needed to know about the car. I would recommend select car leasing for all aspects and i have no negatives .

It says a lot about the popularity of electric vehicles, particularly among company car buyers, when the first version of the new 5 Series to hit the market is the all-electric model. In keeping with BMW’s nomenclature, it’s called the i5, and it’s the zero-emission version of the car that we expect to see in business parks everywhere in 12 months’ time. Naturally, petrol and diesel versions will also be offered, as well as hybrid models, but it’s the i5 that’s first on the scene.
With a burgeoning selection of battery-powered rivals from the likes of Mercedes-Benz, Genesis and Tesla, as well as all the usual petrol- and diesel-powered suspects, the 5 Series has its work cut out to remain at the top of the tree. But with more tech under the skin and in the cabin, as well as a modern new look and the option of electric power, will BMW have done enough to stay ahead of the pack?
