The Sport Line has been discontinued during the 2021 facelift.

Laser Headlights (pre-LCI M550i, M550d, M5 and all LCI models)File:BMW 5 series LCI Laser Headlights.jpgBMW laserlight headlights are high-beam technology that not only delivers a brighter beam but adapts to the environment. Laser headlights function by using three small blue lasers pointed at a set of mirrors in the front of the headlight system. The mirrors focus the laser light into a lens filled with yellow phosphorus. Yellow phosphorus when excited by the blue laser emits an intense white light.

Luxury Line

File:Osaka Motor Show 2017 (68) - BMW 530e iPerformance Luxury (G30).jpgIn the Luxury Line, the car carries a classic luxury look with high-gloss chrome finish on exterior elements like the Air Breather vent, the radiator grille, the lower air intakes and the side windows surrounds. Inside, leather upholstery is standard, while the instrument panel is trimmed in Sensatec leatherette as standard. The dashboard as well as the door cards are trimmed in "Ridge" fine-wood finish as standard with other wood finishes available as an option. Standard wheels are 18-inch W-spoke or 19-inch multi-spoke wheels.

Sport Line

In the Sport Line, the sporty character of the car is emphasized with high-gloss black finish on the Air Breather vent, the radiator grille slats, the lower air intake and side windows surrounds. Inside, combination cloth/leather upholstery is standard, with leather available as an option. The dashboard and door cards are trimmed in high-gloss Black with Pearl Chrome accents with other trims available as an option. Standard wheels are 18-inch 10 double-spoke or 19-inch V-spoke wheels. This line was discontinued after the June 2020 facelift for model year 2021.

M Sport Package

With the 530e, BMW also began an experimental wireless charging program. Testing was originally limited to Germany, but expanded other markets such as California. The system uses a 3.2 kW wireless charging pad that the car could drive over to charge the lithium-ion battery pack.{{Cite web |date=2019-08-12 |title=BMW 530e Now Available With Wireless Charging in the U.S. |url=https://www.motortrend.com/news/bmw-530e-now-available-wireless-charging-u-s/ |access-date=2022-03-20 |website=MotorTrend |language=en}}

For the 2020 model year, BMW increased the lithium-ion battery capacity by about 30% to 12.0 kWh with 10.8 kWh usable. With the increase in battery size, the EPA estimated all-electric range increased to 21 miles for the rear-wheel drive version and 19 miles for the xDrive version.{{Cite web |title=2020 BMW 530e Gets A Few More Miles Of EPA Electric Range |url=https://insideevs.com/news/375120/2020-bmw-530e-epa-ev-range/ |access-date=2022-03-20 |website=InsideEVs |language=en}}

In December 2020, for the 2021 model year, BMW released the 545e xDrive, a more powerful plug-in variant. As opposed to the turbocharged inline-four engine in the 530e, the 545e xDrive uses a more powerful turbocharged inline-six engine paired with an electric motor.

Facelift

File:BMW G31 FL IMG 4496.jpg

File:BMW 5-Series G38 Li Facelift Shishi 001 (cropped).jpgThe G30 5 Series underwent a facelift and reveal in May 2020 (also called Life Cycle Impulse) in BMW Driving Center, South Korea. It was planned to be revealed at the 2020 Busan Motor Show, but was delayed due to its cancellation for the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea. Exterior changes include redesigned front and rear bumper along with new headlights and taillights and a sharper kidney grille design. The daytime running lights have been redesigned, now having a simplified L shape instead of the octagonal shape of the pre-facelift model, making the headlights slimmer. Adaptive LED headlights (previously a cost option) are fitted as standard (in some markets) with buyers having the option to specify the car with matrix LED or laser headlamps. The front bumper is designed to be more angular with the standard models featuring triangular corner air inlets flanking the centre inlet, and the M Sport models getting larger intakes and a U-shaped contour leading into the headlights, similar to the 3 Series.

At the rear, the taillights get the same L-shaped design as the headlights with the former getting 3D lenses and C-Shaped graphics which integrate the main lighting and brake light modules. A twin-pipe exhaust system with trapezoidal outlets is standard on all models with the base models housing them in grey surrounds while the M Sport models get more prominent contours for the exhaust outlets.

Newly added options include 20-inch two-tone aerodynamic wheels and new exterior colours which include Phytonic Blue, Tanzanite Blue, Bernina Grey, and Aventurine Red. The M Sport models also have the option of red brake calipers aside from the standard blue ones. A M Sport Donnington Edition would be available at launch which would be limited to 1,000 units.

On the interior, the basic dashboard design is retained with the biggest highlight being the new touchscreen infotainment system featuring the BMW iDrive 7.0 having over-the-air updates, Personal Assistant Voice Control, integrated Apple Car Play and Android Auto and BMW maps, which is a cloud-based navigation system featuring real-time traffic updates and an improved search function. The infotainment screen measures 10.25-inch as standard but with the BMW Live Cockpit Professional system (which is standard in some markets), measures 12.3-inches. The 5 Series now features the Parking assist system shared with the 3 Series, it has a Reversing Assistant function that enables the car to backtrack where it came from. On top of this, the Parking Assistant Professional incorporates the new Drive Recorder function that can record up to 40 seconds of footage using various cameras.

The engine range has been revamped and features twin-turbocharging for all diesel engines along with optimized direct injection for petrol engines. The hybrid models get a 48-volt system which adds {{convert|8|kW|hp|0|abbr=on}} to the total engine output.{{cite web|url=https://paultan.org/2020/05/27/2020-bmw-5-series-facelift-revealed-g30-lci-gets-new-looks-powertrains-545e-xdrive-plug-in-hybrid/|title=2021 BMW 5 Series facelift revealed – G30 LCI gets new looks, powertrains, 545e xDrive plug-in hybrid|date=27 May 2020|first=Johnathan|last=Lee|website=paultan.org|access-date=19 June 2020|archive-date=14 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200614221702/https://paultan.org/2020/05/27/2020-bmw-5-series-facelift-revealed-g30-lci-gets-new-looks-powertrains-545e-xdrive-plug-in-hybrid/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.bmwblog.com/2020/05/26/bmw-5-series-facelift/|title=WORLD PREMIERE: BMW 5 Series Facelift|date=26 May 2020|first=Adrian|last=Dorofte|publisher=BMW Blog|access-date=19 June 2020|archive-date=28 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211028204623/https://quantcast.mgr.consensu.org/choice/7cAWW_17TtN4Q/www.bmwblog.com/choice.js|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.autozeitung.de/bmw-5er-facelift-2020-motor-ausstattung-197271.html|title=BMW zeigt den aufgefrischten 5er|date=27 May 2020|first=Christina|last=Finke|publisher=Autozeitung|language=de|access-date=19 June 2020|archive-date=20 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200620220841/https://www.autozeitung.de/bmw-5er-facelift-2020-motor-ausstattung-197271.html|url-status=live}} The M550i gets the same engine from the M850i.
