2024 BMW 5 Series Price
BMW has just announced an official release date for the 2024 5-Series of October 2023. Pricing is yet to be announced, but the current 5-series starts at $55,795 for a rear-wheel drive 530i and ranges up to the $109,895 M5. 0
BMW 5 Series Exterior
BMW recently upgraded its 5 Series line-up with new cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors, and software upgrades designed to enhance driver assistance features. Even their entry-level 530i now features front collision mitigation as well as left turn warning, lane keeping assist, speed limit info, and cross-traffic warning – even at the entry-level price point!
BMW’s iDrive 8.5 operating system now features QuickSelect, which acts like the home page on smartphones to make selection easy via touch or voice controls.
Exterior styling remains fairly similar, save for a less prominent twin-kidney grille than on previous generations of premium sedans such as the 7 Series and iX. Otherwise, features such as a long hood, prominent shoulder lines, and steeply raked A-pillars are still present and familiar from prior models.
BMW 5 Series Interior
The 2024 BMW 5 Series stands out with its horizontally curved display, creating one of the most visually arresting sedans on the market. Its free-standing curved display comprises both an instrument cluster (12.3 inches in diameter) and an infotainment touchscreen (14.9 inches), both equipped with BMW Operating System 8.5 software.
The infotainment screen features a new layout with the map permanently visible and applications organized as widgets that can be moved around on the home screen via touch or iDrive controller buttons – similar to smartphone interfaces that are quickly replacing physical buttons in many luxury cars.
The new BMW i5 boasts another remarkable feature – its ability to detect eye movements to control certain functions, like changing air vent settings or turning off its ambiance lighting. This innovative technology could give the electric sedan an edge in terms of driver engagement.
BMW 5 Series Performance
Though not selling as many cars as its larger siblings X5 and 7 Series, BMW 5 Series remains an integral model to Munich. As the eighth-generation sedan must meet both traditional clientele as well as tech enthusiasts’ tastes, while past BMW designs have often featured quirky elements (inflatable kidney grilles and split headlights are fun for Instagram influencers but may not appeal to all who fill luxury sedans), but this fifth-generation 5 Series appears set to err more towards elegance than quirkiness.
First and foremost, BMW’s 530i sedan — which will be sold alongside their plug-in hybrid models the 530e and 550e — comes standard with features such as a moonroof, sport seats, Harman/Kardon audio system, driver assistance nannies and driver assist technology nannies compared with most premium automakers’ offerings. Furthermore, its front subframe includes stroke-dependent dampers which adjust up or down depending on the load in its front axle.
Technology
BMW has introduced a striking curved display into their cabin, combining a digital instrument cluster with an infotainment system. They are making waves by opting for touchscreen controls such as touch, voice control, and swipes rather than physical buttons on their infotainment system screen.
Spy shots and teaser images provided a fairly accurate depiction of BMW’s new premium sedan’s exterior, but what awaits beneath its hood might just surprise you. The all-new 5 Series offers gas, hybrid, and electric powertrain options; with the i5 being most noteworthy when it comes to technological features.
BMW’s latest operating system can be found on the new i5’s frameless glass curved display, offering natural language and touchscreen operation. AirConsole allows users to stream media as well as play in-car games. Furthermore, the Max Range mode reduces electric motor power and throttle response for optimal fuel economy – in addition to Efficient and Sport modes already existing onboard.
Conclusion
The 2024 BMW 5 Series is set to redefine the luxury sedan segment with its striking design, innovative features, exceptional performance, advanced security, luxurious interior, and captivating exterior. This masterpiece of German engineering embodies BMW’s commitment to excellence, providing an unparalleled driving experience. Whether you appreciate the refined craftsmanship or the exhilaration of dynamic performance, the 2024 BMW 5 Series promises to exceed your expectations.
