BMW 5 Series 6-cylinder is the 540 model. The new BMW 5 Series is equipped with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine, codenamed B58. This engine delivers excellent performance and has very good fuel economy. More details about the BMW 5 Series are as follows: 1. Exterior: The BMW 5 Series is 66 mm longer than the previous generation model, with dimensions of 5047*1860*1491 mm and a wheelbase of 2888 mm. 2. Powertrain: The powertrain of the BMW 5 Series has been further enhanced. The top-of-the-line 545i is equipped with a V8 engine from the 7 Series, delivering a maximum power of 245 kW/333 hp (at 6100 rpm) and a maximum torque of 450 Nm (at 3600 rpm). It has a top speed of 250 km/h and can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds.
I'm always into researching BMW model configurations. In this generation of the 5 Series G30, only the 540i is equipped with a 3.0T inline-six engine, codenamed B58, which delivers impressive performance with a 0-100 km/h acceleration in just over five seconds and an exceptionally smooth driving experience. However, the newly launched next-generation 5 Series is in an awkward position, as it has completely eliminated pure gasoline six-cylinder engines across the lineup. Even the 530 has been downgraded to a four-cylinder engine with mild hybrid technology. If you're looking for a six-cylinder 5 Series, you'll have to consider the used market, specifically the F10-generation 535i or the G30 540i. In my opinion, these two models have outstanding high-speed performance, with gear shifts that are far smoother than those of smaller-displacement turbocharged cars, and their fuel efficiency is more favorable compared to the older V6 engines. It's a pity that with electric vehicles dominating the market, large-displacement engines are becoming increasingly rare.
