The 5 Series LWB now gets the Panorama Glassroof Sky Lounge, which uses a printed pattern on the glass and built-in LED lighting to create different colour effects.

Includes warnings and Stop & Go cruise control

BMW 5 Series gets updates in India

The 5 Series LWB now comes with Driving Assistant Plus. The system includes lane-change warning, front-collision warning, rear-collision warning and cross-traffic warning. It also adds Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go, which can maintain a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. It can detect stopped vehicles and bring the car to a halt when needed. All functions are operated through the steering-mounted controls.

2.0-litre petrol engine continues as the sole option

Offered only in the 530Li M Sport LWB variant

The 5 Series is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that makes 258hp and 400Nm, coupled with a 48V mild-hybrid system that adds up to 11hp and 25Nm. The car is only available in the 530Li M Sport LWB variant, which focuses on enhanced rear-seat comfort and legroom. 

BMW previously updated the 5 Series LWB in July 2025 by making 19-inch alloy wheels standard, replacing the 18-inch wheels following customer feedback.
