The model
Read full reviewThe BMW 5 Series is a brilliant, classy and wonderfully refined luxury saloon, with surprisingly low running costs if you go for the 530e plug-in hybrid or 520d mild hybrid. It's a more complete package than its chief rivals, such as the Audi A6, Mercedes E-Class and Jaguar XF.

See full equipmentM Sport Edition cars get even more visual garnish than ‘standard’ M Sport models: there are 20in wheels, black rather than chrome exterior trim, M Seat belts, blue M brakes, sun protection glass, an M rear spoiler and adaptive suspension on all models aside from the ‘entry-level’ 520d and 520i.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 530e impresses with its punchy performance and low speed refinement. It is available with rear or xDrive four wheel drive, while the range-topping 545e is available only as an xDrive model. With CO2 emissions of just 31g/km in rear wheel drive form, it is perfect for company car buyers.
