The 2023 version of the BMW 5 Series is a sublimely stylish executive sedan that provides cutting-edge entertainment and safety tech, luxurious comfort, a sporty exterior, and finely tuned engine power with up to 617 horsepower to play with. Let’s take a closer look at this innovative, powerful, market-leading sedan.

Meet the 2023 BMW 5 Series

Impressive Engine Power

The classy exterior of this exceedingly elegant sedan belies the sheer engine power concealed beneath its hood. The muscular 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine with 8-speed automatic transmission packs 617 horsepower and can take you from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, should you ever feel the need for such speed. 

And the 5 Series engine provides more than power alone. It also has a sophisticated cooling system to prevent overheating and an innovative pan design that prevents pressure drops while cornering. 

Adjustable All-Wheel Drive

With so much power under your control, you’ll want handling performance to balance it out. The 2023 5 Series provides just that with super supple suspension and the advanced all-wheel M xDrive system as standard, providing you with three easily adjustable modes: four-wheel drive, four-wheel drive sport, and two-wheel drive for calmer conditions. 

Superior Stopping Power

The 5 Series also has terrific stopping power to ensure complete control at all times. The available carbon-ceramic brake rotors are similar to those used in racing cars, formed from high-quality carbon fibers for exceptional performance and durability. These brakes are even resistant to brake fade, which is always a danger for other cars when brakes begin to overheat. 

Intelligent Technology 

In the beautifully minimalist and rather sporty layout of the 5 Series cockpit and instrument panel, you have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to connect your smartphone and car. You can then control many of your phone apps and car features with voice commands alone. Remote Control also allows you to start and stop the engine, among other things, when you’re not even inside the vehicle. 

Luxurious Internal Comfort

The standard M Sport seats inside the 5 Series have extra bolstering to support your lower back and provide wonderful comfort, however long your drive is. You can choose from soft Merino leather, Nappa leather, and other upholstery options, all with contrast stitching.

Advanced Safety Features

You’ll also find quality safety features in the 2023 5 Series. Steering wheel vibrations and visual mirror cues keep you alerted whenever another vehicle enters your blind spots. Any lane drifting is also detected and instantly brought to your attention, including a warning if you’re getting drowsy and need to take a break from driving. 

The Driving Assistance Professional Package makes both long journeys and navigating heavy traffic a breeze. The Extended Traffic Jam Assistance component is particularly impressive. It takes over control of your car and maintains a preset distance from other vehicles, even slowing to a stop if necessary and edging along in stop-and-go traffic.
