Get to Know the 2021 BMW 530i

Aug 18, 2021

BMW introduced a re-engineered 5-series sedan lineup for 2021, complete with cosmetic and technology upgrades to both the interior and exterior. The bestselling BMW 530i remains a popular choice among 5-series fans, delivering many of the premium features that this class of vehicle is known for at an entry-level price point that is sure to please.

The 5-series lineup for 2021 is impressive – completely redesigned with a variety of models and trim levels to choose from. The 530i sits at the front of the pack as the entry-level base model, boasting loads of standard features that make it an excellent value.

Available in rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, the 530i’s turbo 2.0L 4-cylinder engine and 8-speed automatic transmission deliver a very smooth and agile ride. Producing 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, this is a powerful and sporty sedan that accelerates nicely and handles with precision.

Pricing on the 2021 BMW 530i

Starting at $55,195, the base 530i comes with plenty of standard safety, comfort, and infotainment features, such as:

Adaptive LED headlights
12.3-inch touchscreen
Built-in navigation system
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
Power-adjustable front seats
Leather-wrapped steering wheel
Power sunroof

For $2,000 more, buyers can upgrade to the 530i xDrive version with all-wheel drive. Custom add-ons such as the M Sport and Advanced Driver Assist packages can further drive up the cost by around $2,500 to $4,000 per package.

What’s New for 2021

As with all models in the 5-series, BMW has given the 530i a facelift that includes a remodeled front end, sleek interior re-styling, and a larger display touchscreen. This has always been a very comfortable sedan, but the new optional multi-contour front seats make it even more so. The seating is highly adjustable to suit every height and body type.

Buyers can expect a very roomy and well-laid-out cabin with plenty of cargo space. The 530i’s trunk is larger than average for this class of vehicle. The redesigned interior features rear seats that can be split 40/20/40, which provides plenty of flexibility on those days when you need extra storage space.

Driver-Assist Technology

BMW is always on top of the latest safety innovations, and the 530i is no exception. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and collision mitigation all come standard. This sedan also has an impressive parking camera system that delivers a crystal-clear 3D image of the area around your car.

An upgrade to the Driving Assistance Plus package will get you adaptive cruise control, front cross-traffic alert, and an advanced lane keeping system that makes a steering correction if you wander outside your lane.
