Why it stands out
The 2021 BMW 5 Series continues to be a prominent choice in the midsize luxury sedan market, boasting a blend of performance, technology, and sophisticated style. Notable updates for this model year include a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that enhances the driving experience while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency. The redesigned interior offers a spacious and comfortable setting, equipped with a standard 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen featuring the latest iDrive 7 system, ensuring that occupants enjoy both luxury and cutting-edge technology. Despite facing increased competition from rivals like the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the 5 Series remains appealing, especially with various powertrain options that cater to a range of driving preferences. However, some drivers have reported minor annoyances with certain features, such as the engine auto-off in Sport Mode, highlighting a few limitations amidst its overall strengths.

I like everything about the car except the feature that kills the engine when stopped. I realize that this is not a problem in Sport Mode, but Sport Mode is a little too jumpy in this 540i. I run my 540d in Sport mode exclusively and it’s torque curve is perfect. The 540d has better power at all speeds.

Excellent Car, Real Rocket with 550 trim or M5 variants. Great for a long trip and if you are in a state that dont require the UGLY front license plate it shows how elegant the lines are. I LOVE mine.
