2021 BMW 5 Series - The Best Midsize Sedan?

- 2021 BMW 5-Series Gets New Tech and an Altered Look
The facelifted 5-series lineup still includes the four-cylinder 530i, six-cylinder 540i, V-8 M550i, and hybrid 530e models.
BMW is subjecting its 5-series to a comprehensive if modest facelift that's designed to steal the thunder of Mercedes's somewhat more aggressively restyled E-Class and the still-fresh Audi A6. Set for a launch in mid-2020 as a 2021 model, the lineup will again comprise the 248-horsepower 530i, the 335-horsepower 540i, the 523-horsepower M550i, and the 288-horsepower 530e plug-in hybrid.
All models will continue to be available with rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive, called xDrive, except for the AWD-only M550i xDrive. The even more powerful M5 will be updated in the not-too-distant future, mirroring the changes to these more pedestrian 5-series models.
At first glance, the facelifted 5-series looks more angular and slightly more angry, its LED headlights featuring sharp creases. The protruding grille looks more assertive as well, and while the headlights gain L-shaped lighting elements, the same elements now disappear from the taillights. The exhaust pipes now all look the same regardless of engine-keep the badges on, people!
Taller and wider, the new kidney grilles emphasize their kinship with the 7-series and the X7 without putting on as dominant a show. The side view keeps the curious character line that turns into the C-pillar. And the M550i gets treated, like before, to bronze trim. Altogether, we like the new look, and the 5-series still looks more nimble and sportier than the more portly competition.
Inside, visual changes are modest, with new contrasting stitching as the most noteworthy improvement. However, the driver-assistance and infotainment systems have noticeably improved, with new cloud-based maps and a plethora of further options that do their best to distract you while potentially saving you from the consequences of being distracted.
While the 530i's turbo-four engine remains unchanged, the 540i's inline-six powerplant gains a 48-volt hybrid system that can offer a slight electric boost to overcome any turbo lag. It should also improve fuel economy slightly and smooth the auto start/stop function somewhat. The 530e plug-in-hybrid, powered by a detuned version of the 530i's four-banger, gets a far more substantial boost from a 107-horsepower electric motor that is integrated in its eight-speed ZF automatic. But perhaps our favorite engine remains the recently upgraded 4.4-liter V-8 in the M550i; at 523 horsepower, it comes close to the M5 while exhibiting more polite manners.
The updated 5-series starts at $55,195 for the 530i sedan, $58,195 for the 530e hybrid, $60,445 for the 540i, and $77,795 for the M550i xDrive. BMW says that the 2021 5-series models will reach U.S. dealerships in July 2020.

I have 5 series for over 3 years and still feel the best every times when riding.
The wagon looks awesome
The F10 with the signature `OO` lights was the best!
still got my 2015 525d! Going strong and a pleasure to drive, as well as a head turner once its polished I have to say 🤷🏼♂️
2016 535i xdrive in mettalic black sapphire and the m sport package....my car is definitely a keeper
cant wait for the M5 to arrive!
Exterior is beautiful!!! But I wish they would have incorporated the crystal knobs. Plus, I don't like the navigation screen just sitting on top of the dash.
Mercedes has the better interior with 2 large 12 inch screens and better quality seats. Exterior is good for BMW but they still need to update the interior before I look at it.
The blue looks great on this one!
About time to do something with the 5 series. Too bad you didnt change the dash
Ángel Eyes “OO” Skoda Headlights “L Ꮮ”
Done with BMW after my 2013 328xi F30 needed a fuel pump AND a timing chain only at 82k miles. Total cost: over $5000. These were major issues with many BMW owners.
This is amazing and fantastic car nice thanks for reviewing
Definitely looks more appealing and masculine than the new E-series! ✌🏻
Yeah the new 5-class is better
@@justinn4176 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 when i see 5 class i just read the message again and see E series 😂😂😂😂
The E53 AMG is more appealing and masculine. By the way the 2021 Mercedes E series won the car of the year by 3 companies. So all around the E series wins!
@@justinn4176 Mercedes E series won the 2021 car of the year. SMH LOL
Beautiful design
That a car manufacturer still touts the "I can send the address from my desktop PC to the car before the trip" tells you everything you need to know about what decade they are working in.
como me flipa ese bmw serie 5❤️
When will they start to manufacture the 2021 version?
Beautiful car. Only if I could afford one. I am getting there.
I miss the angel eyes which were the BMW signature, these headlights are ok but I feel it's lost it's appeal it once had.
Take solace in knowing they haven’t created a cock up that Mercedes has with the new e and s that’s forthcoming
E-pic S-hit
adit1939 bmw messed up the m4 tho
Angel eyes is e60. You can still buy one now for like $9k.
headlights look like a skoda now, much prefer the previous design over this one
Its nice and very good car
Headlights looking so good😍😎
Interior not looking good compared to Mercedes
The wheels 😍😍😍
I hope one day I will work with such hard-working people.
There should have been a premium pack, with sunroof and lumbar support , just like on the refreshed 3 series....instead of all Astra cost options
Why they always talk about "buisness" or "executive" car in this segment? I know a lot of people who don't wear fancy suits or working in an office job who drives an E-Class, A6 or 5-Series.
We live in 2020. Let that image go, BMW🙄
Well, you also don't need a suit to be in business
Business executive doesn't have to wear any fancy suit or have an office. Ever heard of a guy called Steve Jobs?
I'm a machinist by trade, and only wear a suit at weddings and funerals. I have a 320i and a 535i in my garage. Soon, I will be adding a "M" series. I doubt that I'll ever want a 4 series with that big ugly grill.
Did I see Android Auto? If so yessssssss👍👍👍
"More luxurious interior", but it is almost the same interior, the same chairs and stitching
You have to look up definition of "more"
Yes the interior is still not as good as Mercedes. I agree they did very little to improve the interior. The outside is good and l like the performance of the car.
love tht blue color
Fantastic.. mindblowing.. I purchased a Mercedes c class , c 200 progressive 4 months ago.. But as the day goes on, I think , technologically & lookwise bmw is much more attractive, stunning & aggressive than merc..
I'm a big fun of BMW'$...I've always have confidence in the driving ability & for sure "The ultimate driving machine" but I have to fault in somethings, & that is it's interior...when other car manufacturers becoming more modern for example, the centre console, the gearliver & the infotainment system screen etc...but BMW had been a bit stagnant. So pls BMW for 2022 I expect changes on those areas. 🙏🏽
would love to get 1. could you shed some light on the reliability "ENGINE" instead of the technology.
So happy to see they added Android Auto, just wonder if they still charge a prescription fee, not very happy with that. Also, although the headlights look good, I miss the angel eyes which was the key feature that drew me to BMW from the beginning years ago. Sad to see it go, feels like BMW lost it's pissaz now
The removed subscription fees for Apple Car Play so I'm assuming they won't charge for Android Auto either
I will be able to buy it, 2040th earliest, i will be so happy
Beautiful car. I like the new technology involved in it. It's amazing.
No big grill THANKS
It has gained a little in size though
@@yeeyeeasshaircut456 Let's say the actual size of the grill is just fine
Whew!!
What you mean!
Awseomeee. I own a 530d 2004 and I love it but this one new 530e it's a beast. But to own one I guess somewhere in 2030-2035 if I will still be alive and still with a big ?. But good work nice,very nice
Idk what to think of the added black elements on the tail lights
This designer needs a raise
Seems like the taillights are repeating itself with the design it doesn't wanna go away
So nice
What about BMW 520d luxury line ...?
MARAVILHA!
Looks more like the F10 again. Its perfect
Skoda headlights, bravo! Make them all cars look the same
Gorgeous. Excellent work as always!
I am more interested in the Motorcycles upstairs 😄
I was a BMW fan for over 12 years, but I was disappointed with the design in recent years. Sad to see BMW lost its edge.
the front edges are really sharp and feel like not connected.
Need more curve to smooth the design
When i got lottery then from BMW BIG FAN FROM KERALA
is it the land of kalarypayat? :)
Malayalee👍👌
I like very much the touring version
Front lights from Octavia? Give us “angel eyes” back!
Im still waiting for the new 4s..both exterior and interior..
Tje new 4s have a grill you could park a mini in....
@@malcolmcampbell1968 :) yes i agree. :)))
Look nice
I see some people talking about the lights looking like Audi TT. Well, it doesn't stop there. It also looks like the new Skoda Octavia and VW Golf.
Love it 😍
Well, a very nice nd good looking toy but the E-class still rules and sets the bar in this segment.
Except the EClass is filled with plastic.?
@japanwatchconnection for your mind... BMW is trying and coming up but Benz is already there and setting the standards others follow.
I just bought a 541 a couple months ago. I’m hearing that BMW is moving into the political arena with which organizations they place ads with?
That would be a big mistake as far as I’m concerned! As matter of fact it will be my final BMW purchase.
Просто шедевры!!!
为什么取消了雾灯设计呀？
My dream!
How reliable is it ?
'' Das beste oder nichts'' 🤙
Is the tyres painted on the rims. The profiles are to dam low for our roads..
Like a skoda octavia headlights😃
1.They need to slim down the center console
2.remove buttons from the dashboard and make the whole thing a screen
3.thats stupid hump over the cluster needs to get smaller and go down
4.passenger side need a fold desk and drink holder and screen
5.leg and head room in the rear need increasing
6.too much dashboard in the front
7.seats are too thick
8.bring back double ,angle light look
9
Why the Skoda headlights😭
:(
that's True :(:(
That's not fking skoda😡😡😡😡
Can’t help myself but it looks like something in between of Superb and Octavia from Skoda. What an age when BMW starts to looks like Skoda :)
Bmw m5
MY
I used to work for bmw back in 2011, the interior has not improved since, they look identical, and if anything has changed its not noticeable, the exterior doesnt look that different, speaking of, all newer BMWs look nearly identical, with the main difference being their size, as if BMW were afraid of trying new/different designs, I would like to see more unique looking BMWs like they used to be
Exactly. And no fake leather materials
I like the interior. Don't want them to change. It's good in my opinion 😁
@@ACURACALABAR11 i like the radio and climate controls, and the idrive system, I think its perfect, but maybe a bigger screen, more slick looking vents, maybe a cool 2 tone leather dash, with a different design, would be nice
So ein geiles auto
I don't get it... what was "redesigned"? This looks like the 2020 to me.
The best BMW has been and will always be the E39 M5.
True
💙 M5 💜
Presenting bmw in faded jeans? Seriously? This is luxury?
Wtf do your clothes have to do with being able to afford the car?
New cloud based navigation :)). Isn't this what Google and Apple maps have been doing for years?
Yes it is , by far!!!
Look at that turning angle lol
A bit sad that 3D maps framerate is so terrible
The facelift wasn’t needed
glad they didn’t go with the horrible front grill that some of the new BMW’s have like the Z4 and 3 series
The 3 series grill isn’t bad. But take a look at the 4 series. It will make u vomit
Biggest question how is the reliability, out of warranty it's probably a nightmare. Give me a Genesis G70, G80,G90 please.
My dream car bmw 530i ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘👌👌👌👌💋💋💋🔥🔥🔥
Honestly speaking I prefer BMWs six cylinder models, and this feels like Mercedes Sales pitch.
The guy in the car @ 2:04 stays completely still wtf 😂
He’s a real German
Almak nasip olur mu acaba 😅😅
Just booked 530Le, waiting for delivering.
bmw needs to fire their current designers
Not to bad, I will definitely prefer more from this, especially the kidney grill should be like the one from the 4 series
so Dukec is the new Bangle fucking with the design of the new BMW's
Plugin hybrid is not enough to save the climate. We need fully electric cars with responsibly produced batteries!
That’s gonna take a while lol
Why don’t you change the headlight grill and backlight every fortnight 😂
Exactly. Pandering to the Chinese with those hideous monster kidney grills
That's my dream car guy's M5 yerr
IS THAT THE ULTIMATE GERMAN SEDAN?
Nah
Yeah, who else could it be?
@@aftermathmathematic4175 s-class
I like the car but adaptive tail lights is way too much
🌞👌
Lisbon Portugal
where is handbrake!!!??? ı hate park brake :'(
I prefer old headlight
These ones are outstanding too
what is the name of that blue colour? Looks amazing
It's more like a refresh not a redesign
It is a good one,however,l expect the new 5 series to come with panoramic sun roof.
There is option of panaromic sun roof
Change? Hmmmmmmm, where? Why!
Looks less aggressive.
