Why it stands out

The 2018 BMW 5 Series stands out as a midsize luxury sedan that blends strong performance with a more comfort-focused character than earlier versions of the car. In this generation, the regular 5 Series had become a little softer, and its steering was described as less precise or engaging than it once was, but it still retained enough verve to feel more rewarding than many staid competitors. Buyers also got a well-equipped cabin and plenty of technology, which helped the car remain appealing even as BMW shifted the 5 Series further towards luxury.

For 2018, the 5 Series lineup included the 530i, 540i, 530e, 540d, and M550i xDrive. The 530i used a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while the 540i used a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine with 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. The 530e plug-in hybrid 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 the M550i xDrive used a 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 with 456 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. In Canada, an eight-speed automatic transmission and xDrive all-wheel drive were standard.

The 2018 model also brought some notable talking points beyond its powertrains. BMW tried to charge a subscription fee for Apple CarPlay that year, a move that was widely criticised. On the safety side, the car offered blind spot monitoring, lane departure warnings with lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alerts, traffic sign recognition, and automatic high beams, while some of BMW’s best systems remained optional. Overall, the 2018 BMW 5 Series is distinctive for combining luxury, technology, and a broad range of engines, even if some owners and reviewers found the technology complex and the driving experience less engaging than older 5 Series models.
