These prices are excellent. Essentially, you get a heck of a lot more car for more or less the same price as the outgoing model. What's more the range starts at a lower price. Very very interesting. Although I am in the market for an SUV, most likely the new generation X3 (G01), if I get a good offer on this by the time the X3 is launched in India (at least 6 - 8 months down the road), I will most likely not be able to resist.

Insane prices. This will give the E a big dent in sales.
530i should have come in Luxury line as well.

BMW has priced the 5 quite competitively. It undercuts the E class, variant to variant by around 7-9 lakhs.

Thanks to intense competition.

The dealers have already started citing heavy pre booking of 530d. No units available for July delivery, July stock already pre booked.

Did anyone get similar response from your dealerships? With this pricing, my hope of someone cancelling their July booking is also gone.

no, MB India has not yet announced post GST rates. It will be down to comparing gizmos vs rear seat for 4 cylinder diesel models more than anything else. If i have to be driven in rear most of the time, E class is no brainer.

Did anyone get similar response from your dealerships?

no, on contrary as of now everything is available.

Prices are very competitive. I am guessing these are post GST prices.

Besides the all new interior, technology & drive quality, whats most re-assuring the spare tyre (not a donut wheel like E class taking up boot space). It would give me so much peace of mind on long drives which was lacking in my current F30.

Having said all that, I am still hoping for further price cuts from Luxury car makers as the car parts get cheaper, and input credit of GST from part manufacturers flows through, making overall manufacturing of these cars cheaper (and India more competitive vs China). If the prices come down further, the luxury car market would take off in a big way in India.

530d M Sports Alpine White with Mocha, can't seem to lay my hands on in July. Already pre-booked across all three Delhi dealers. :/

I think they are getting smaller numbers of 530-D based on their previous data, so rather than cars getting sold, I will say lot less are available from production. Will check for you this option and send you PM if something positive comes up.

While it may seem like the pricing is aggressive , we have to keep in mind that these are post GST prices. GST is most beneficial for the luxury segment with net lower taxes of atleast 10%. Add 10% to these prices and you can see what the pre GST pricing will look like. GST sure came at the right time for BMW

Competition will announce post GST prices soon and only in that light can we see how aggressive the pricing is.

Live from the launch. This is my favorite

[petroguzzler]

BMW should have also launched the 540i. It would have been a solid differentiation especially since the E doesn't have an exciting petrol motor.

And going by specs, the turbo inline-6 on the 540i is pretty quick with a 0-60mph time of 4.7 seconds.
