The 5 Series sits above the 3 but below the 7 in BMW's lineup — and for most drivers, it's the perfect point. More space than a 3 Series. More driver engagement than anything near its price point. It's the sedan that doesn't make you compromise between the car you want to drive and the car you need to arrive in.
The 530i starts at $57,200 with 255 horsepower and a 5.6-second 0-60 — already quicker than most "sport" sedans from mainstream brands. Step to the 540i xDrive and you get 375 hp, full-time all-wheel drive, and a 4.6-second launch. Then there's the i5 eDrive40: fully electric, 335 horsepower, 295 miles of EPA-estimated range. Every version features BMW's latest Curved Display, over-the-air software updates, and the kind of suspension tuning that makes a two-hour drive feel like twenty minutes.
Every version is unmistakably a BMW. Pick your powertrain. The rest is already taken care of.

Unlike the 3 Series — which is a driver's car first — the 5 Series takes rear-seat comfort seriously. Executive rear seating is available with power adjustment and additional legroom. Heated rear seats come standard on higher trims. The panoramic moonroof fills the cabin with light. The kind of rear cabin that makes it easy to justify the 5 Series to a spouse who doesn't care about 0-60 times.
It delivers on both fronts. You get a driver's car with an interior that impresses everyone in it. That balance is what makes the 5 Series the most complete executive sedan on the market — and the one Brian Harris BMW sells more of than any other.
