2 Answers
BMW 5 Series 6-cylinder refers to the 540 model. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The BMW 5 Series is 66mm longer than the previous generation model, with dimensions of 5047*1860*1491mm and a wheelbase of 2888mm. 2. The BMW 5 Series is equipped with a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engine, codenamed B58, delivering 340 horsepower and a maximum torque of 450 Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 5500 to 6500 rpm and maximum torque at 1380 to 5200 rpm.
I've seen many netizens debating this. The BMW 5 Series has had six-cylinder engines across several generations. The most iconic is arguably the E60 era (2005-2010) with the 530i, equipped with the N52/N53 engines - their smoothness was unparalleled. Moving to the F10 generation (2010-2016), the 535i switched to the N55 turbocharged straight-six, delivering noticeably more power. From 2017 to present with the G30/G38 models, the 540i features the B58 turbocharged straight-six, even offering a high-performance version. Special mention goes to the G30's 545e plug-in hybrid, which combines a 2.0T engine with an electric motor to deliver six-cylinder-level power. Personally, I believe the later B58 represents the most mature technology, achieving an excellent balance between fuel efficiency and performance. Many car enthusiasts love tuning it, easily pushing over 400 horsepower.
