This was my first time getting a lease car so I was very unsure of the process , thankfully Sarah was fantastic and helped me through it from my initial enquiry to the delivery of the car. She gave me advice , knowledge of the process and most importantly gave me time at the beginning to think if it’s the right thing to do , this was very important to me and was a bug factor in me going ahead with the purchase. Sarah is fantastic!

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?
