A strong deal on a luxury mainstay
For decades, the BMW 5 Series has been a benchmark in the midsize luxury sedan segment, balancing sharp driving dynamics with business-class comfort. It’s the car many rivals—from the Mercedes-Benz E-Class to the Audi A6—have tried to beat, but the 5 Series has consistently held its ground with an emphasis on performance and refinement.
Now in its latest generation, the 5 Series embraces electrification while keeping the qualities that made it a favorite: precise handling, premium interiors, and a design that blends elegance with sportiness. This August, BMW is pairing those updates with lease offers that make the 5 Series lineup more approachable for shoppers considering their next luxury sedan.
August lease offers sweeten the deal
This month, BMW is offering a range of lease specials across the 5 Series lineup. The 2026 530i Sedan starts at $629 per month for 39 months with $6,189 due at signing, while the all-wheel-drive 530i xDrive is available for $659 per month for 39 months with $6,239 due at signing.

For buyers looking for more power, the 540i xDrive Sedan is being offered at $719 per month for 39 months with $6,299 due at signing. Those interested in BMW’s plug-in hybrid option, the 550e xDrive Sedan, can lease one for $699 per month for 36 months with $6,429 due at signing.
Each of these offers comes with the potential for up to $2,000 in loyalty credit for returning BMW customers, further reducing the cost of entry. Taxes, title, license, and registration are extra, but the numbers stack up well when compared to competing luxury sedans in similar trims.
A timeless design, refined
The latest 5 Series carries forward the redesign introduced with the 2024 model, featuring a sharper, more modern exterior with slimmer headlights and a bold kidney grille. Inside, drivers get BMW’s curved display, which merges a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 14.9-inch infotainment screen running BMW’s latest iDrive 8.5 software.

The cabin emphasizes both luxury and sustainability, with premium materials, available glass controls, and options for vegan-friendly upholstery. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with advanced driver-assist tech like lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, and parking assistance.
The 530i uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 255 horsepower, a setup that balances efficiency with spirited driving. Stepping up to the 540i xDrive brings BMW’s smooth inline-six, adding power and refinement. At the top of the lease offers is the 550e xDrive plug-in hybrid, which combines a turbocharged six-cylinder with an electric motor to deliver more than 480 horsepower and over 30 miles of electric-only range—ideal for daily commuting without sacrificing long-distance capability.
Why the 5 Series makes sense in 2025
Competition in the luxury midsize sedan class remains fierce, but the 5 Series continues to hit the sweet spot between sport and sophistication. Mercedes-Benz emphasizes plush interiors, Audi leans on tech, and Lexus offers long-term reliability, but BMW still appeals to drivers who want a sedan that feels at home on both the highway and a winding back road.

With August’s lease offers and the added benefit of loyalty credits, the 5 Series delivers strong value in a premium package. Whether you’re drawn to the efficiency of the 530i, the balance of the 540i, or the electrified punch of the 550e, BMW has made its sport sedan lineup more accessible this month.
Final thoughts
The BMW 5 Series has long defined what a luxury sport sedan should be, and the latest generation continues that tradition with fresh tech, electrified options, and a polished design. August’s lease offers make now an appealing time to step into one. For shoppers weighing their next move in the luxury sedan market, the 5 Series deserves a test drive.
