BMW has been presented with two accolades at this year's Fleet World Honors - Best Executive Car award for the 2011 5-series and Fleet Manufacturer of the Year award for BMW overall.

Steve Moody, judge panel chairman, explained: 'The new BMW 5 Series has taken the executive sector up yet another notch, with an engine line-up second to none for emissions and performance, generous standard specification, superb whole-life costs, class-leading residual values and a quality unparalleled even in this extremely competitive market.'

Of BMW's Manufacturer of the Year award, Mr. Moody says: 'BMW continues to forge ahead with a range of new cars whose low emissions and performance set the standard in the market, for both premium and volume brands. Added to that it has had a good year with its core fleet products, scoring highly from the leasing companies in our awards analysis on customer support, reliability and residuals, and has also launched a new division that caters for small business.'

These two latest accolades build on last year’s win, when the BMW 3 Series took home Fleet Car of the Year 2009.

BMW have truly developed a remarkable car and the new 5-Series is along with the F01 my favorite Germany Saloons on the market right now. The only car that eclipse them in terms of liking is the the Mulsanne. Audi and MB must respond with something even more compelling.

I'm not at all surprised that it's received this award as it truly is an exceptional motor, well done.
