No, the 5 series is not the flagship model. That would be the 760Li as a flagship is generally known as the best, largest, and most expensive model in the fleet. The M5 could be considered the flagship of the M cars currently, but that will change once the M6 is available and again when the M6 Gran Coupe arrives. The 5 is also not the bread and butter of the brand, the 3 series is. That said, it doesn't make the 5 any less important of a model.
