Walkthrough Review

Use the BMW Interaction Bar to navigate to My Mode, which provides an altered immersive experience by adjusting the lighting moods. Sounds within the cabin are highly balanced, intense, and impressive. The 205-watt Harman Kardon Premium Sound System, along with 12 speakers, does a great job resonating across all the corners of the interior.

As the sun goes down, you can see the BMW kidney's Iconic Glow that seems to enhance its shine and the vehicle's pride. The contours are rimmed with white light highlights, which remain stationary even as the car is moving. The door areas brighten up with the Dynamic Light Carpets, giving users safe entry and exit.

Each trim reflects its own performance. The 530i gives 5.9 sec going 0-60 MPH and runs at 255 HP. The 530i xDrive achieves 5.8 seconds (0–60 MPH) and produces the same 255 HP as the 530i. The 540i xDrive, however, is efficient at 4.4 sec (0–60 MPH) and runs at 375 HP.
