BMW 5 Series Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers
The BMW 5 Series has been a key part of BMW’s line-up since its introduction in 1972, building a reputation as one of the most recognised executive saloons on the market. Now in its eighth generation, it continues to offer a refined and spacious driving experience, with a clear focus on comfort, performance and advanced technology.
The current range includes petrol and plug-in hybrid models, alongside the fully electric BMW i5, and is available in both BMW 5 Series Saloon and Touring body styles. Plug-in hybrid variants such as the BMW 530e are particularly popular with company car drivers. This makes the range well suited to both BMW 5 Series business lease and BMW 5 Series personal lease customers.
- Body Type: Saloon, Touring
- Fuel Type: Petrol, Plug-in Hybrid
- Electric Range PHEV: Up to 63 miles (WLTP)
- Seats: 5
- Boot Size: Up to 570 litres (Touring)
Key Specifications
BMW 5 Series leasing is available in two trim levels.
- M Sport: The core trim level, featuring 19-inch M double-spoke alloy wheels, M Sport exterior styling and M Sport brakes with dark blue calipers. Inside, it includes M Alcantara and Veganza upholstery in black, as well as BMW’s latest Curved Display with iDrive as standard.
- M Sport Pro: Builds on M Sport with larger 20-inch M star-spoke alloy wheels, a more distinctive exterior including an M rear spoiler and Shadowline lighting, plus the BMW Iconic Glow package. Inside, it adds features such as a Harman Kardon surround sound system and M Sport seat belts for a more premium finish.
Engine & Performance
The BMW 5 Series is available with 2.0-litre petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Plug-in hybrid models such as the 530e and 550e combine a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, offering up to 62 miles of electric range (WLTP) and low CO2 emissions. This makes them a popular choice for company car drivers, thanks to lower Benefit-in-Kind tax rates.
Within the range, the 530e is the more efficiency-focused option, while the 550e xDrive sits at the top of the line-up with all-wheel drive and higher performance. Meanwhile, petrol models like the 520i use a 2.0-litre engine producing around 208bhp, providing smooth and consistent performance for everyday driving.
Exterior Features
At the front, slim LED headlights and a wide kidney grille give it a sharp and confident look, while M Sport styling adds sportier bumpers, high-gloss Shadowline exterior trim and larger alloy wheels. Flush door handles and a redesigned rear light signature contribute to a more refined and contemporary finish across the range.
Interior Features
Inside, the BMW 5 Series is designed around comfort and usability, with a driver-focused layout and high-quality materials throughout. The cabin centres on BMW’s Curved Display, combining a digital instrument cluster with a central touchscreen running the latest iDrive system. M Sport models include sport seats, Alcantara and Veganza upholstery, and a leather sports steering wheel as standard.
There’s a strong focus on space and practicality, with generous legroom for rear passengers and a boot capacity of up to 520 litres in the Saloon, extending further in the Touring model. Features such as ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control and wireless smartphone integration come as standard across the range.
Safety Features
The BMW 5 Series includes a comprehensive range of driver assistance systems as standard. These typically include front collision warning with braking function, lane departure warning, speed limit information and cruise control. Parking sensors and a reversing camera are also included to support everyday driving.
Additional systems such as adaptive cruise control, steering and lane control assist, and a surround-view camera system are available on selected models, providing added confidence on longer journeys and in more complex driving situations.
