The four-pot mill sends power to the rear wheels and helps the 530i hit 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. It has a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine producing 255 hp and 295 lb-ft or 7 hp and 38 lb-ft more than before. Speaking of what's under the hood, the 5 Series lineup will kick off in the United States with the base 530i. The drag coefficient is 0.23.Ĭargo capacity is 18.4 cubic feet (520 liters) for the ICE and PHEV versions and 17.3 cu ft (490 liters) for the EV. If folding the 40:20:40 rear bench still doesn't provide you with the necessary volume, the more practical 5 Series Touring will go on sale in Europe next spring with all types of powertrains. Rear-seat legroom should be even better now that the wheelbase has been elongated by 0.8 inches to 117.9 in (2995 mm). With BMW engineering the car to accommodate a battery pack for the i5, it had to be lifted by 1.4 inches to 59.6 in (1515 mm). It has been stretched by 3.4 inches to 199.2 in (5060 mm) while its width has increased by 1.3 inches to 74.8 in (1900 mm). You can't necessarily tell from these official images, but the new 5 Series has significantly grown in size. Dukec describes the car's design as being "almost more Italian than BMWs before." Consequently, there's no gigantic grille flanked by split headlights. In the meantime, it's worth pointing out Dukec told us the design team didn't play it safe as a "reaction to people blaming us for XM or 7 Series." He went on to say people buying those larger cars are "expressive, status-oriented customers" who want to show off their prized possessions whereas the typical 5 Series buyer desires something more conservative. Have they succeeded? You'll be the judge of that.
