That includes a mostly decorative $2600 M Sport package the Driving Assistance and Driving Assistance Plus packages that together run $3200 and add a number of cameras, sensors, and active safety features and a $3500 Dynamic Handling package that incorporates adaptive dampers and anti-roll bars as well as an Adaptive Drive system that coordinates the interaction between those two technologies. That’d be $25,165 worth of add-ons atop the $57,445 base price. This happens to be the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the landmark E39-generation 5-series that many argue was the peak for the species, and this new 5 is a whole lot bigger than the E39. The 117.1-inch wheelbase is up only 0.2 inch from the superseded F10 generation, and at 194.6 inches overall, length has grown a mere 1.5 inches. And that makes this car a big keg of Bavarian doppelbock. And one rung above is the M550i that has a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 humming with 456 horsepower under its hood.Ĭalled the G30 within BMW, this seventh-generation 5er (the series dates to the 1973 E12 model) derives from the same component set as the current 7-series. Sitting a notch below is the 530i powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four rated at 248 horsepower. Tested here is the rear-drive version of the 540i powered by the turbo 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 335 horsepower we previously tested this engine with xDrive all-wheel drive.
