Compromise is one word that you would never find in the dictionary of the German manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. The ideology that these majors follow, focuses on offering the best possible combination of luxury and performance, that too at an affordable price.
Audi is all set to roll in its new Audi A8 before December but BMW has not waited for any time and today launched its very dynamic and macho 2010 BMW X5 at the Bird Automotive dealership in Gurgaon.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Andreas Schaaf, President, BMW India said, “The new BMW X5 remains a benchmark and with greater supremacy than ever; it combines the joy of driving with elegance, efficiency, safety and unmatched performance”
BMW X5 is an answer to the competition imparted by the Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz M Class and will definitely give its rivals a run for their money.
