Used 2022 BMW 5 Series Sedan Trims Comparison

The 530i is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The 530e also uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and pairs it with an electric motor for a total output of 288 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. It's a plug-in hybrid, and with a fully charged battery, the 530e can drive an EPA-estimated 21 miles before switching to regular hybrid operation.

The 540i packs a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 335 hp and 332 lb-ft. The range-topping M550i sports a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (523 hp, 553 lb-ft). An eight-speed automatic transmission backs all engine options. The high-performance M5 is reviewed separately.
