So if there is are low cost cars in the small car segment or Toyota launching entry level Etios in sedan segment, there is now a BMW 5-series model at Rs. 36 lakh.

The premium car segment in India is abuzz with better models at even more competitive price tag than earlier. BMW has launched another 520d model in India which is the fifth engine variant to join the F10 series for Indian market. The model is powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 184bhp @4000rpm mated with an 8-speed manual gearbox.
