The 5 Series sedan offers a wide range of powertrains, from a 248-horsepower turbo four cylinder to a 455-horsepower, twin-turbo V8. And let's not forget the raging M5 that serves up 600 horsepower, or 617 in the case of the M5 Competition variant, and whose all-wheel drivetrain can be decoupled to offer the driving feel of a rear-drive car. The 530e plug-in hybrid is the eco-friendly choice, with a maximum EV driving range estimated at 26 km.
