2017 BMW 5-Series (USA)
BMW announced the pricing of the all-new 5-Series which will arrive in USA showrooms on February. Customers in the US will be
offered initially the choice between the 530i and 540i models which will be
also offered with BMW’s xDrive AWD system as an option.
Pricing for the 530i starts at US$ 52,195 with the
xDrive version asking for US$ 54,495. The 540i will have to
spend at least US$ 57,445 for the rear-drive model and US$ 59,745 for the xDrive one.
All prices include the US$ 995 destination and handling fee.
Standard equipment in US-spec models includes
adaptive LED headlights, sport seats, active protection, fatigue and focus
alert as well as an 18-inch double-spoke wheels and an anthracite headliner.
Based on BMW’s latest platform, the 2017 5-Series is
lighter by up to 137 lbs, thanks to the combined use of aluminum, magnesium and
high-strength steel. The cabin features the latest iDrive infotainment system,
a new 8.8inch display in the instrument cluster and optional gesture control.
The 530i is powered by a four-cylinder,
turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine with 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of peak torque,
allowing it to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 6 seconds (5.8 seconds with xDrive).
The 540i is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight six unit with 335hp
and 332 lb-ft of peak torque. 0-60 mph comes in 4.9 seconds (4.7 seconds with
xDrive).
The range will be completed with the M550i xDrive
and BMW 530e and 530e xDrive iPerformance models, set to arrive later in
spring.
