With its sleek design, powerful engines, and cutting-edge technology, the BMW 5 Series 2016 offers an unparalleled driving experience. In this article, we will delve into the technical specifications, modifications, engine versions, trim levels, design, and handling of this remarkable vehicle.
Technical Specifications
The BMW 5 Series 2016 is a mid-size luxury sedan that offers a perfect balance between comfort and sportiness. It comes equipped with a rear-wheel-drive layout, but all-wheel drive (xDrive) is available as an option for enhanced traction and handling. The car measures 193.4 inches in length, 73.2 inches in width, and 57.6 inches in height, giving it a dynamic and athletic stance on the road.
Modifications
One of the notable modifications in the 2016 BMW 5 Series is the introduction of advanced safety features, such as blind-spot detection, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. These features ensure a safer and more enjoyable driving experience. Additionally, the interior has been refined, with high-quality materials and superior craftsmanship, creating a luxurious and comfortable cabin for both the driver and passengers.
Engine Versions
The BMW 5 Series 2016 offers a range of powerful and efficient engines to suit different driving preferences. The base model is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, producing 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking even more performance, there is also a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine available, delivering an impressive 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and precise gear shifts.
Trim Levels
BMW offers various trim levels for the 5 Series, allowing buyers to choose the one that best suits their needs and preferences. The entry-level trim is the 528i, which comes with a generous list of standard features, including leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 10.2-inch infotainment display. Moving up the range, there is the 535i and the range-topping 550i, both offering enhanced performance and additional luxury features.
Design
The design of the BMW 5 Series 2016 is a true testament to German engineering. Its sleek lines and aerodynamic profile give it a timeless and elegant look.

The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
