Performance: Designed for Driving Enthusiasts
Performance is what sets the 2026 BMW 5 Series apart. Whether you stick with the classic 530i or upgrade to the powerful 540i xDrive, every model offers a unique driving personality.
The base 530i and 530i xDrive are powered by a 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline-4-cylinder engine producing 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.

All trims feature an eight-speed automatic transmission, and xDrive all-wheel drive is available or standard, depending on your choice.
BMW engineering ensures confident handling and crisp response with a low center of gravity and optional adaptive suspension.
