Why it stands out

The 2018 BMW 5 Series sits in the seventh-generation G30 family, which was new in 2017 and had already shifted the car toward a more comfortable luxury-sedan character with a bit of verve. It still carried the 5 Series’ traditional appeal as a performance-minded midsize sedan, but reviewers noted that the regular models had become softer and that their steering was less precise and engaging than before. Even so, it remained more entertaining than many staid rivals, and its understated styling gave it a lower-key presence than many modern BMWs.

For 2018, BMW expanded the range with three additional models: the 530e, 540d, and M550i. The 530e was a plug-in hybrid that paired a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with an 11-kW battery pack for 248 horsepower, 310 pound-feet of torque, and 24 kilometres of electric range. The 540d used a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbodiesel with 261 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque, and BMW said it could return 7.9 litres per 100 kilometres combined. The M550i xDrive brought a 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 with 456 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque, making it the most performance-focused member of the regular 5 Series line.

The 2018 model also stood out for its technology and safety equipment. BMW tried charging a subscription fee for Apple CarPlay that year, a move that drew criticism, and the system was still controlled through iDrive rather than touch. At the same time, the car offered plenty of safety features, including blind spot monitoring, lane departure warnings with lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alerts, traffic sign recognition, and automatic high beams, while some of the best systems remained optional. That mix of strong equipment, broad powertrain choice, and a more relaxed driving character makes the 2018 BMW 5 Series appealing, though its complexity and the less engaging feel of the base models are worth keeping in mind.
