BMW 5 Series Designers Made The New Model Longer And Wider to Maintain The Appropriate Sport Sedan

One of the best sport sedans on the market, the 5 Series has been in BMW US line up since the mid 1970s, There have been many iterations over the years. For 2024 the 5 Series enters its eighth generation with fresh styling, updated features and for the first time a choice of all electric or internal combustion engine powertrain. BMW invited me to Spartanburg South Carolina to test the 2024 BMW 5 Series range, including the gas-powered 530i and the first fully electric version, the i5. The 2024 BMW 5 Series is available in three gas powered trims, 530i, 530i xDrive and 540i xDrive. Prices range from around $59,000 to $66,000 with the top two variants equipped with xDrive, the automaker's moniker for its all wheel drive system. As this article is written the BMW 530i and 530i xDrive are already arriving at BMW showrooms, Meanwhile the 540i has just started production and should arrive in the next few months. The 2024 BMW 5 Series gets all-new styling for the new model year, However the new look isn't so much of a departure that the sedan isn't recognizable as a 5 Series. BMW outfits this new generation model with both gas and electric powertrains. Hence the car sits slightly higher than the previous model, allowing room for the electric powertrain. So designers made the new model longer and wider to maintain the appropriate sport sedan proportions. The iconic BMW kidney grille is up front, albeit larger and now available with illumination for a bolder look. Flanking the grille are slim LED headlights with stylish daytime running lights, which combine with the illuminated grille to provide a distinct look at night. Taillights are also new, wrapping around the corners with a slim design that gives the car a wide stance. While the exhaust outlets aren't visible on the 530i, the rear diffuser simulates exhaust outlets, one of the few differentiators from its electric-powered sibling.
