2021 BMW 5 Series Sedan Trims & Specs

The 2021 BMW 5 Series remains one of BMW’s best-balanced models. It hardly misses a beat and delivers luxury, technology, refinement, and quality in spades. From the base 530i to the brutish M550i xDrive with its 523-hp V8, every model is swift and most are surprisingly efficient. An eight-speed automatic gearbox is equipped to all versions while the 530i, 530e, and 540i can be had with both RWD or AWD drivetrains.

In the 530i variants, the 5 Series comes standard with a power moonroof, dual-zone climate control, a digital driver’s display, and a 12.3-inch central touchscreen. Both front seats offer 16-way power adjustment and are upholstered in perforated SensaTec. The 530e adds an electric motor and an acoustic pedestrian warning system. The 540i shares most of the same features but uses the more powerful 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with a 48-volt starter-generator to improve efficiency. At the top of the lineup is the AWD-only M550i xDrive that adds 20-way multi-contour front seats, Shadowline exterior trim, an M sport rear differential, and a Harman Kardon sound system.
