2023 BMW 5-series
Starting at $56.995
Highs Comfortable passenger accommodations, broad range of slick powertrains, tech gadgets galore.
Lows Some rivals offer more grandeur inside, most desirable features are pricey, driver involvement has fallen off the menu.
Verdict Those expecting sports sedan friskiness will be disappointed, but the 5-series is a comfortable and classy executive-class sedan.
Overview
Earlier generations of the BMW 5-series set benchmarks for sports-sedan road manners that we still refer to when evaluating ride and handling. But years before the 2023 5-series arrived this model moved on to a more comfort-focused mission. BMW’s executive sedan looks upscale without being ostentatious, and that stealthy appearance provides some respite from constabulary scrutiny. And that’s a good thing, especially if you order the turbocharged inline-six 540i or twin-turbo V-8 M550i models, which can hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and 3.5 seconds, respectively. Looking for a 5-series with a more relaxed personality? The entry-level 530i and plug-in hybrid 530e, both four-cylinder-powered, offer adequate punch and also the benefit of better fuel economy. No matter the trim, the 5-series offers plenty of space for passengers and a list of luxury and technology features that keep pace with rivals such as the Audi A6, Genesis G80, and Mercedes-Benz E-class. The fiver’s handling might not be the sharpest, but it can waft down the road as effortlessly as any mid-size luxury cruiser.
What's New for 2023?
The 5-series sedan carries over to the 2023 model year largely unchanged. The optional Premium package now includes a remote-start feature but no longer includes the company’s gimmicky gesture controls for the iDrive infotainment system. The Parking Assistance package is no longer available on 530i, 530e, and 540i models but the Executive package is now available for those cars and includes a head-up display, a Harman/Kardon stereo system, a power-operated trunk lid, and heated front seats among other items. The top-spec M550i now comes with a power rear sunshade. Three new colors-Artic Race Blue, Skyscraper Grey, and Aventurin-are now available.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
530i: $56,995
530e: $58,595
540i: $63,895
M550i: $82,495
The mid-range 540i continues to be the best value in the 5-series lineup, offering a nice balance of performance and comfort. This model comes standard with rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available. The available Convenience package seems like a wise add-on, as it includes heated front seats and a power-operated trunk lid.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Smooth, powerful, and efficient, both the four-cylinder in the 530i and the six-cylinder in the 540i motivate this big sedan with authority. The 540i's powertrain benefits from a little extra boost, care of a 48-volt hybrid system. Each engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission that shifts intuitively and quickly, making the most of the available power. The 540i's six-cylinder is silky smooth and potent, and it makes delightful noises. Apart from the top-dog M5, which we review separately, the M550i is the athlete of the lineup, with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 under its hood. In our testing, the M550i sprinted through our acceleration runs quicker than the Audi S6 and Mercedes-AMG E53, hitting 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. All 5-series models are competent handlers, but they lack the kind of driving verve we expect from BMW. Steering feedback is light, and the ride-even in the performance-oriented M550i-appears to be tuned more for comfort than driver involvement.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Rich appointments and good design make the cockpit of the 5-series a civilized space. It's a noticeable upgrade compared with the somewhat drab cabin of its predecessor. It's also spacious for rear-seat passengers and features an impressive amount of technology. We've experienced the optional 20-way multi-contour front seats, which adjust in every way imaginable and provide hours of comfort. The standard seats might not be as indulgent, but you can still adjust them in 16 ways. The BMW's large trunk space is on par with what its competitors offer, fitting six carry-on suitcases back there. That said, the cabin is lacking in cubbies and storage compartments. To accommodate the battery pack, the plug-in-hybrid 530e has four fewer cubic feet of trunk space than nonhybrid models and swallows two fewer carry-on suitcases, but at least it retains its folding rear seats, unlike many other hybrids.

Beautiful.... now why did bmw screw up the front end of the 2023 7 series so bad. Now this 5 series is classy
Exactly bmw should be rewies this
Also 3 series is classy
I don’t like the back of the 7 either the way the window is.
The new 5 looks like a small version of the ugly 7 series so this is probably the last beautiful BMW you'll see until that idiot chief designer, Domej leaves.
Once in a while BMW likes to experiment very badly with designs 😀
This looks sooooo much batter than the new one
What a beautiful dash. I've been hating on some new cars that just have a sideways Ipad for the speedometer cluster and another vertical Ipad for the center cluster. This one does it right
This dash board is about right . I remember i used to hate , Tesla ipad like dashboard. It was ugly . But this bmw dash is nice .
I thought I was the only one.
They've been coming back from just putting screens everywhere since people find them annoying. Just give us buttons and REAL speedometers.
Very nice car😍, this video makes me relax😃. Good luck👍.
Beste für immer 🇩🇪🇩🇪
I'm glad someone understands that showing the trunk first isn't the most important thing. 👍
In my opinion, both the 5 series and 7 series of 2023 are way way way better looking than the 2024 new models!
Согласен
i agree😂
the rear break lights ♡
😍 nicely done
So much better than the just announced next gen. A beautiful machine!
The new design is ugly compared to this.
Now car maker are turning to ugly futuristic design with square shapes like the cyber truck. There is nothing cool about it.@@Soedmaelk
So good they kept the gear lever
Fantastisch !!! 🖤 ❤️ 💛
Best Looking car ever, along with the Disco Volante! ❤
❤❤ Bmw sempre al Top in assoluto.
Fantastic!
Amazing beautyful car i love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O meu carro, um 540i ano 2018 cor azul mediterrâneo é ainda mais bonito, não tenho dúvidas! Que bom que passados 5 snos ele ainda se encontre tão atual!
Carrão mesmo meu amigo. Parabéns!
Stunning
This is love at first sight ❤
Bmw é Bmw, não adianta. Show de carro 🏎 🤩👏👏👏👊🇧🇷
Covering the key fobs with Saran Wrap is a great idea. Manufacturers have been painting the fobs the same color as the car or brakes and fobs scratch very easy due to being put in pockets. 👍 Nice car. I had the 22’ and they are top notch.
I'm still enjoying my 2014 535. Barely 60,000 miles on it. Still looks brand new.
@@rollydoucet8909 Right on.

أنيقة
Still a very beautiful car can't wait to see the new model.
the vehicle is already 2023 model and the newest
@@sukrudayan5709 yes but it is the design from 2021. For 2023/24 a newer design is coming.
@@sukrudayan5709 a few more months and the 2024 will be premiering. The auto industry moves fast. 2023 is the current model, for sure.

This kind of videos remind me that the life curse me with poorness, why others can but I don't?? 😢😢😢
happiness is not in pies. find pleasure in others Good luck
BMW seems getting cheaper instead of being luxurious by keeping the roof and other interior black, common across all their models instead of giving us same color as our leather upholstery. Black interior & roof seems to give a less spacious feel even for bigger cars!
Красотка Вот что значит "с удовольствием за рулём"
Не то слово,просто кайф
Is BMW series 5 2023 already released???? Seriously!!!
Bmw g60 sabirsizlikla bekliyorum
Allah nasip etsin amin
M5 SERIES ❤❤
Bizde var birtek Led leri farklı😊
I drive the same car from 2019 I didn’t see a single cool feature or wow factor for which I would change it to a new one
BMW bleibt BMW
Uau! 🤍🤍💙💙
