Mid-Size Sedan

Product Overview

BMW 5 Series F10 LCI is the facelifted version of the F10 executive sedan in production from 2013 to 2016. It is available with a range of inline-4, inline-6, and V8 engines that displaced 2.0 to 4.4 liters.

While consumers may be lured to the N63 V8 the most, it is not really a very reliable unit. Unfortunately, these were the days of direct injection + turbocharging en masse at BMW, leading to a whole range of engines with questionable long-term reliability. The more sensible option is perhaps the N55 found in the 535i and the ActiveHybrid 5.

BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.25 coefficient of drag to show for it. The F10 LCI also comes with a high towing capacity.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the F10 uses double-wishbone + multi-link suspension setup for good handling.
