The Perfect Ride For…
The 2023 BMW 5 Series is the ultimate executive chariot. At the same time, the 5 Series is the perfect ride for families, soccer moms, anyone who enjoys premium luxury with exhilarating performance. This stylish and athletic sedan is offered in five different trims: 530i/540i model, 530e, M550i xDrive, and the M5. Each trim is uniquely designed to attract a slightly different type of driver.
The 530i/540i models are the core models and are perfectly suited for those looking for world-class luxury in everyday driving. The new 530e model is the unrivaled executive plug-in hybrid that combines BMW performance with world-class efficiency. And if you're looking for unparalleled performance, stepping up to the M550i xDrive and M5 will meet your need for thrills and exceed your every expectation.
Drive and Handling
For people who love driving and for those who don't, the 2023 BMW 5 Series boasts uncompromising driving dynamics in a diverse line of high-performance machines. The BMW 530i model comes equipped with a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo engine that produces up to 248 HP and can dominate the 0-60 in as little as 5.9 seconds. The more robust 540i model features the 3.0L inline 6 M TwinPower Turbo engine that pumps out an impressive 335 HP and traverses the 0-60 in as little as 4.9 seconds.
The new BMW 530e Plug-In Hybrid leads the charge with a super-efficient electric motor mated with the 2.0L inline 4-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine. Together, these powertrains achieve an exhilarating 288 HP while offering an all-electric range of 21 miles (18 miles for 530e xDrive).
The BMW 550i xDrive and M5 sit comfortably atop the pinnacle of mid-size luxury sedan performance. Equipped with a 4.4L V8 M TwinPower turbo engine, the 550i xDrive shines bright with up to 523 HP. Thanks to engineering by BMW M, the 550i xDrive dominates the 0-60 in as little as 3.6 seconds. And the unbridled BMW M5 reigns as the quickest street-legal BMW. You'll be able to shatter records with the specially-tuned 4.4L V8 M TwinPower Turbo that effortlessly cranks out a mind-bending 627 HP and can blaze the 0-60 in the blink of an eye — or 2.9 seconds.
