It’s not an overstatement to say the BMW 5 Series has set the standard for premium sport sedans — and wagons, too, when they’re available — since it was introduced to the United States market in 1972. Since then, the midsize 5 Series has offered a near-perfect blend of performance, luxury and interior room.
BMW 5 Series cars you’ll come across have rear-wheel drive; however, all-wheel drive (BMW’s xDrive) has been optional in recent years. Traditionally, the 5 Series featured an inline six-cylinder gasoline engine, but BMW has offered four-cylinder and V8 variants in the recent past. Turbocharging has played a big part in the 5 Series engine lineup in newer cars, and the current generation is solely powered by turbocharged engines that offer both fuel efficiency and zippy acceleration.
