Although the 525i is first in the 5-series lineup, nothing at all about it feels entry-level. The magic of the 5-series family-of every BMW product, perhaps-is that each variant has a distinct and compelling personality. So choosing the 525i, with its smaller engine, can be justified by something greater than its smaller price tag.
Still, how does a five-year-old car triumph over such a crowd of talented newcomers? And how can the base 5-series model subdue so many trimmed-out and powered-up veterans (including BMW's own stellar 3-series models)?
This All-Star award does prompt some tough questions. Rest assured, however, that the answers are all found in the same place: behind the wheel.
