    BMW 5 Series 2021

    BMW 5 Series 2021

    FROM
    $52,580

    The 2021 BMW 5 Series range of configurations is currently priced from $39,950.

    Our most recent review of the 2021 BMW 5 Series resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributing journalist Peter Anderson had this to say at the time: The G30 5 Series is an excellent car and unless you're looking for the serious punch of the V8 M550i, or want to run with the cops in the diesel, the 530e is a great option. No slower than the 530i, well-equipped and that rarest of things, a truly elegant BMW. Nobody buys a BMW with an eye on the budget, so at this level, the $3000 gap is nothing to worry too much about. For EV-sceptics, the range anxious or just for someone who just can't take the full EV plunge now, a PHEV is a great bridge between the two worlds.

    This is what Peter Anderson liked most about this particular version of the BMW 5 Series: Good to look at, Effective EV mode, Well equipped

    The 2021 BMW 5 Series carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    BMW 5 Series 2021 FAQs

    How long does a BMW 330e PHEV's battery pack last?

    The 330e is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), so it has a petrol engine and a smaller battery pack than a full EV (which runs exclusively on battery power). That means the BMW’s battery should be less expensive to replace if it ever needed to be.

    At the moment, the world is waiting to find out how long EV batteries last, but it’s looking like between 10 and 20 years is going to be the magic number. A lithium-ion battery like this one will last longer if it’s never over-charged and is cycled regularly rather than left sitting for long periods.
