On the outside, the 2021 5 Series looks much more aggressive than before. Up front, it features re-sculpted LED Adaptive headlights that are slimmer and feature the U-shaped DRLs as standard. However, you can also opt for two L-shaped Daytime Running Lights that would distinguish it from the other models.

BMW's insistence on making us fall in love with the kidney grille is reaching new heights with every new model. The kidney grille here is taller and wider, although it isn't very noticeable. The vertical slats in them, however, are more pronounced. They even help channel the airflow better, which is one of the factors that make it more aerodynamically efficient. The 530i has achieved a drag coefficient rating of 0.27.

To make the sweeping profile look even smoother, BMW has increased the 5 Series sedan's length by 1.2 inches. The rest of the dimensions remain the same. Other than the M550i xDrive, all the other models ride on 18-inch wheels wrapped in 245/45 section all-season run-flat tires. 19- and 20-inch wheels in varying sizes are available as optional, including wider wheels and tires for the rear on each of them.

The M550i xDrive, however, benefits from the best that the German automaker has to offer on this sedan. It comes with 19-inch wheels as standard, wrapped in 245/40 section tires at the front and 275/35 section tires at the rear. You can choose to have either performance run-flats, or all-season run-flats, depending on your usage. 20-inch wheels are optional with even lower profile tires for your car to stick to the road like a leech and improve the braking when you're taking it hard, especially around the corners. It also comes with M Sport Brakes and blue calipers with the M logo as standard. It is optional on all the other models.

Things at the rear are slightly different, too. The 2021 5 Series features new L-shaped taillights that feature black edging and 3D lenses. BMW has designed new trapezoidal tailpipes that are integrated into the lower part of the bumper. Overall, the 5 Series, in all its derivatives, looks a lot sportier than any of its predecessors.

2021 BMW 5 Series Interior  - image 942666

The sedan is pretty spacious, too. At the front, it offers 38.8 inches of headroom, 41.4 inches of legroom, and 58.7 inches of shoulder room.

Things at the back are not so cramped either, with the sedan offering exactly the same headroom as the front, 36.5 inches of legroom, and 55.9 inches of shoulder room. As for the cargo capacity, the 2021 5 Series offers a space of 14 cubic feet. Courtesy of the battery pack in the 530e and the 530e xDrive models, the cargo space offered here is just 10 cubic feet.

  • Plug-in Hybrid version of the same available
  • 288 Horsepower and 257 pound-feet of torque

530i and 530i xDrive

2021 BMW 5 Series Interior  - image 942559

The 530i is powered by a 2.0-liter, twin-turbo four-cylinder engine that dishes out 248 horses between 5,200 and 6,500 rpm, and 257 pound-feet of torque between 1,450 and 4,800 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox. It takes 5.9 seconds to sprint to 60 mph from a standstill and has a top speed of 130 mph. You can have this extended to 155 mph with additional packages.

The 530i is also available with an all-wheel-drive configuration called the 530i xDrive. While the power outputs are the same, it is one-tenth of a second quicker than its rear-wheel-drive counterpart.

2021 BMW 530i specifications
Engine 2.0-liter, twin-turbo four-cylinder
Horsepower 248 HP @ 5,200-6,500 RPM
Torque 257 LB-FT @ 1,450-4,800 RPM

0 to 60 mph 5.9 seconds
Top Speed 130 mph (155 mph optional)

530e and 530e xDrive

2021 BMW 5 Series  - image 963246

The 530e is powered by the same 2.0-liter engine as the 530i, but it makes 181 horses. The integrated electric motor here adds another 107 horses, thus bringing the combined power output to 288 ponies, which is 40 horses more than the 530i. The combined torque is also a healthy 310 pound-feet, but the peak-torque range is only between 1,450- and 3,600 rpm. It has a wider peak-power bracket of 3,800- and 6,500 rpm, however. While you may not feel a significant difference when you start off, the 530e will certainly be a lot peppier, thanks to the punchy mid-range.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed auto gearbox. The 5 Series also comes with an "XtraBoost" feature that is activated when you select the Sport mode. It offers 40 additional horses for 10 seconds when the throttle is depressed to the kick-down position. It takes 5.7 seconds to 60 mph from rest with this function. Top speed is rated at 130 mph as standard and can be unlocked to 146 mph for additional bucks.

2021 BMW 5 Series  - image 963245

The 530e xDrive is identical in all aspects, except for the top unlocked speed limited to 143 mph. Both the 530e models also feature Acoustic Protection for Pedestrians, which uses an exterior speaker system to generate a sound to notify pedestrians when the sedan is driving in electric-only mode at speeds up to 19 mph. It must also be noted that this is the only model in the 5 Series lineup that is able to achieve a perfect weight distribution of 50:50.

540i and 540i xDrive

2021 BMW 5 Series Exterior  - image 942653

Next in line is the 540i, which is powered by a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo six-cylinder mill that makes 335 ponies between 5,500- and 6,500 rpm, and 331 pound-feet of twist between 1,500- and 5,200 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via the same eight-speed automatic gearbox. The 540i takes 4.9 seconds for its 0-60 mph dash with the same 130 mph standard top speed that can be unlocked up to 155 mph.

BMW offers the 540i also in an all-wheel-drive avatar called the 540i xDrive, which comes with the same technical specs except for a much quicker 0-60 mph sprint. It is 0.3 seconds quicker, taking just 4.6 seconds to hit 60 mph.

2021 BMW 5 Series Exterior  - image 942656

What differentiates the 540i and the 540i xDrive from the pre-facelift models is the addition of the new 48-volt mild-hybrid technology.

BMW has equipped the six-cylinder models with a 48-Volt starter-generator system that not only makes it slightly more efficient, but also helps better the performance. The 48-Volt battery also supplies the recuperated energy to the 12V electrical system that powers the lights, windows, ventilation, audio system, seat heating, and steering wheel.

2021 BMW 540i specifications
Engine 3.0-liter, twin-turbo six-cylinder
Horsepower 335 HP @ 5,500- 6,500 RPM

Transmission eight-speed automatic
0 to 60 mph 4.9 seconds/4.6 seconds xDrive
Top Speed 130 mph (155 mph optional)

M550i xDrive

2021 BMW 5 Series Exterior  - image 942640

Finally, there's the mighty powerful M550i model that's offered only with an all-wheel-drive configuration. It is powered by a V-8, twin-turbocharged engine that displaces at 4.4-liter. It makes 523 horses between 5,500 and 6,000 rpm, and 553 pound-feet of torque between 1,800- and 4,600 rpm.

Power is sent to all the wheels via the same eight-speed automatic gearbox. The M550i xDrive takes just 3.6 seconds to sprint to 60 mph from rest and has a top speed of 130 mph that can be unlocked to 155 mph.

What About The Fuel Economy?

2021 BMW 5 Series Exterior  - image 942644

The 530i rear-wheel-drive with its four-cylinder engine returns 25 mpg in the city, 33 mpg on the highway, and 28 mpg combined. The 530i xDrive takes a slight hit, delivering 23 mpg in the city, 32 mpg on the highway, and 27 mpg combined.

The six-pot 540i rear-wheel-drive delivers 25 mpg in the city, 32 mpg on the highway, and 27 mpg combined. Ratings dip a bit for the all-wheel- xDrive model that returns 23 miles in the city, 31 miles on the highway, and 26 miles combined for every gallon of gas consumed.

2021 BMW 5 Series  - image 963247

As for the 530e and 530e xDrive ratings are not yet announced, but expect them to be the best that BMW has to offer on the 5 Series. However, it features just a 12.1-gallon fuel tank as opposed to 18-gallon tanks in the other non-hybrid models.

As expected, the V-8-powered M550i comes with the lowest fuel economy ratings, returning 17 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the highway, and 20 mpg combined. These figures are generally achieved when driven in the most ideal conditions. Will you be able to keep yourself from flooring the A-pedal every time you see the road ahead empty?

2021 BMW 5 Series Competition

Mercedes-Benz E-Class

2020 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Exterior  - image 889661

The three German automakers are at each other's throats ever since they've had to co-exist. All the brands have offerings that take on almost every model from their counterparts' stable. The 5 Series goes up against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which in itself is a fantastic proposition. The car feels luxurious on the inside and is loaded to the gills. In the last few years, the automaker has taken its tech game to new heights.

The engine options are also quite similar. Mercedes offers a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged mill that makes 255 horses and 273 pound-feet of torque in its base trim, and a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder turbocharged engine that dishes out 362 ponies and 369 pound-feet of twist. A V-8 is also available, but in the AMG avatar that has a six-digit sticker price. The standard E-Class starts at $54,250.

Audi A6

Audi's offering to this segment is the A6. The A6 is also pretty loaded in terms of tech and features inside the cabin. It feels cozy and premium at the same time. The layout is different and has a more fluidic design when compared to the slightly sportier interiors of the other two Germans.

Audi also offers the A6 with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder mill, and a 3.0-liter, V-6 engine. The former makes 261 horses and 273 pound-feet of torque, whereas the six-pot engine churns out 335 ponies and 369 pound-feet of twist. It takes just 5.1 seconds in its best avatar. The Audi A6 starts at $54,900.
