2023 BMW 5
The 5-series sedan is basically unaltered for the 2023 model year. The company’s gimmicky gesture controls for the iDrive infotainment system are no longer part of the extra Premium package, which now provides a remote-start capability instead. For the 530i, 530e, and 540i models, the Parking Assistance package is no longer offered. However, the Executive package, which includes a head-up display, a Harman/Kardon sound system, a power-operated trunk lid, heated front seats, and other features, is now offered for those vehicles. A power rear sunshade is now standard on the top-spec M550i. There are now three additional hues available: Aventurin, Skyscraper Grey, and Arctic Race Blue.
When assessing ride and handling, we still compare later generations of the BMW 5-series to earlier models because they established standards for sports sedan road manners. However, this model changed its focus to one that was more concerned with comfort years before the 2023 5-series did. The executive vehicle from BMW has a sophisticated but not flashy appearance, which shields it from police examination. And that’s advantageous, especially if you choose the twin-turbo V-8 M550i or the turbocharged inline-six 540i versions, which can reach 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and 4.7 seconds, respectively. Searching for a 5-series with a friendlier disposition? Both the base 530i and plug-in hybrid 530e, both powered by four cylinders, provide enough power as well as the advantage of superior fuel efficiency. Regardless of grade, the 5-series provides a lot of passenger room along with a long list of luxury and high-tech equipment that stay up with competitors like the Audi A6, Genesis G80, and Mercedes-Benz E-class. Even if the Fiver’s handling isn’t the best, it can glide down the road as easily as any mid-size luxury cruiser.
