In 2019, BMW took a different approach with the 5 Series, slightly shifting attention from pure driver engagement to adding several luxurious elements. Some might say they already produce the 7 Series for that, but it never hurts to have alternatives, right? As a midsize sedan, the 5 Series, in this case, the 2019 BMW 530i xDrive, has an interior that feels intentionally designed to cater to both the driver and the passengers. It still has elements of sporty with its driver-focused cabin, which we will discuss later. It’s a car you’ll enjoy driving too, because its performance doesn't feel silenced despite ranking low in trim levels. Is it that good, though? Keep reading to find out.
Under the hood, the 2019 BMW 530i xDrive has a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4, producing 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It is quick, efficient, and smooth, and when paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, it shifts decently, launching it from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Clearly, speed is not the most impressive aspect of this car; its driving dynamics are. As an xDrive, the chassis is built to deliver unmatched comfort, with excellent traction in various road conditions, and thanks to the optional M sport suspension, you’ll not complain much even on the most uneven backroads, even at its top speed of 155 mph.
In true BMW luxury, the 2019 BMW 530i xDrive’s cabin is nothing short of luxurious. Starting with the choice of materials, the seat upholstery has leather as the standard. You will never have to complain about comfort inside this car, with ample legroom and headroom for the five passengers that it can accommodate. Space is also sufficient, with large cupholders both for the front and rear passengers. Climate control is standard, but if buyers wanted a more premium experience, they were to pay more for things like heating and massaging alongside others.
Whether in a crowded parking lot, busy traffic, or at your garage, the 2019 BMW 530i xDrive never misses a second stare. It is so well built that it maintains the quintessential design language that most people have associated BMW with for the longest time. And we’re not talking about the iconic kidney grille or the proportions. It still has that, but each element compliments the other for a harmonious design. The two shoulder lines, for instance, look sporty, making it known that it's what the brand was going for. Top all that with the optional M Sport package, and you will have a sleek and elegant sedan that will be the talk of town.
Techwise, the 5 Series has always been a leader, often sharing flagship features found in exclusive models like the 7 Series. As with most newer models, the iDrive infotainment system is standard, and in this car, it’s a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay (though one-year free trial), navigation satellite radio, and Bluetooth. Optional features like a head-up display and gesture controls were available for first-time buyers, too. Unlike other 2019 models, the BMW 530i xDrive came equipped with blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance as standard, and an optional adaptive cruise control.
The most you would have to spend on the 2019 BMW 530i xDrive without losing money is approximately $35,000, give or take. Most units in the market are in good condition as long as they are cared for. Mileage also matters, so check for that before making the deposit. Convinced you should buy one? Check out our BMW listings.
If you value driving dynamics but feel at home inside your car, BMW had you in mind when making the 2019 BMW 530i xDrive. That’s not surprising for a sports sedan. Still, it could have done better, but that’s if we compare it to newer models.
