The BMW 5 Series has always been the sportiest of the large luxury sedans. However, the latest model also goes the distance to pamper occupants at the back. The standard BMW 5 Series is available with four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines as well as with a six-cylinder diesel. Topping the range is the ballistic 625hp BMW M5 Competition.

Each BMW 5 Series trim gets its own bespoke exterior package. However, even in the most sober of styling lines, the 5 Series manages to look athletic. It’s fantastic on the inside as well. The cabin is packed with tech and attention to detail is exemplary. The front seats differ from trim to trim but the rear seat experience is the same across the board. There’s loads of legroom in the back and the seat is really comfy too, but some might find the backrest a touch upright.
The 530i petrol’s 2.0-litre engine feels pleasant but isn’t as riveting as its 252hp power output would have you expect. You get a stronger feeling of power from the 520d’s 190hp, 2.0 diesel. Performance is brisk, though the engine can get audible as revs climb. The 530d’s 3.0-litre, straight-six diesel is sublime. It’s smooth, refined and offers stellar performance. Ride comfort is good and you can fine-tune the experience to your liking too. The 5 Series is also great in the bends though there is some mushiness built into the steering. As for the M5, it’s a proper super sedan.
We’ll discount the M5 from this discussion and focus on the ‘standard’ 5 Series versions. While the 530i can come across as a bit...
We’ll discount the M5 from this discussion and focus on the ‘standard’ 5 Series versions. While the 530i can come across as a bit unexciting, the 530d can feel like overkill for typical luxury sedan buyers. It’s really the 520d that strikes the best balance between performance and refinement, and is the one we’d recommend. The 520d Luxury Line gets plenty by way of features, too, including LED headlights, four-zone climate control, 360-degree camera, auto parking and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with gesture control.
