20.20.5 Series Sedan Exterior

Unlike the X7 and 7 Series, for now, the 5 Series retains a less radically-sized grille design, and it's all the better for it. This remains a handsome and imposing mid-size sedan but, for some, the 5 is a bit too discreet in its styling. 530i and 540i models get 18-inch double-spoke wheels and run-flat tires as standard, along with power-folding and heated side mirrors. The M550i is differentiated by 19-inch M double-spoke wheels, Shadowline exterior trim, an M rear spoiler, and an aerodynamic kit. All models are fitted with a power glass moonroof.
