The 5 Series LWB now gets the Panorama Glassroof Sky Lounge. It uses a printed pattern on the glass and built-in LED lighting to create different colour effects. These lights work with the car’s ambient lighting settings, can change with driving modes and remain visible even during the day. The roof brings more natural light into the cabin and makes the interior feel more open. 

Driving Assistant Plus brings additional driver aids

Includes warnings and Stop & Go cruise control

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 hold 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, along 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 had earlier updated the 5 Series LWB in July 2025 by making 19-inch alloy wheels standard, replacing the older 18-inch wheels after customer feedback.
