'Integral Active Steering' is an option on some models and combines electromechanical four-wheel steering and a variable-ratio steering rack. Īll versions of the 5 Series use rack and pinion steering with electric power assistance. Active anti-roll bars (named 'Dynamic Drive') are optional equipment. The 5 Series uses double-wishbone front suspension and 5-link rear suspension while Touring models feature self-levelling rear air suspension. Much of the 5 Series' body panels are constructed of aluminium, including the bonnet, boot lid, roof and doors. The 5 Series' chassis is made from a mixture of different grades of steel and aluminium. The G30 5 Series utilises BMW's modular Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform first introduced in the 7 Series (G11). Its wheelbase is 130 millimetres (5.1 in) longer than that of the normal 5 Series saloon and is exclusively sold in China. The 5 Series long-wheelbase model debuted in April 2017 at the Shanghai Motor Show. The 5 Series Touring was unveiled in February 2017 before making its public debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show. The Escape was released online on 23 October 2016.

īMW created The Escape, a short action film featuring a 540i M Sport, to promote the G30 5 Series. The 5 Series saloon was unveiled on 12 October 2016 before making its public debut in January 2017 at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. Interior design was led by Daniel Mayerle. The BMW Head of Design during the development of the G30 was Karim Habib. Although the 2021 BMW 5 Series is 1.2 inches longer than the 2020 model, many of the vehicle's other dimensions remain unchanged despite the styling redesign. A long-wheelbase sedan version (model code G38) is sold in China. The fastback 5 Series Gran Turismo model from the previous generation is no longer part of the 5 Series model range, and has been moved to the 6 Series Gran Turismo nameplate. It was officially announced on 12 October 2016 and sales began in February 2017. The G30/G31 has been produced since 2016 by the German automaker BMW and is often collectively referred to as the G30. The seventh generation of the BMW 5 Series consists of the BMW G30 (sedan version) and BMW G31 (wagon version, marketed as 'Touring') executive cars.
