The 2021 BMW 5 Series facelift tries to keep a low profile and yet has a noticeable styling. The headlamp and tail lamp units are sleeker, and the bumpers on the standard model exhibit a more subtle design. The bumpers on the M Sport models showcase a more sporty profile.

The BMW 530i M Sport gets a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol motor, which puts out 248bhp and 350Nm of torque. The petrol sedan can shoot to 100km/hr from a standstill in 6.1 seconds. An eight-speed Steptronic transmission is standard in all variants.

The diesel variant also gets a more enthusiastic 3.0-litre straight-six turbo-diesel mill under the badge of 530d M Sport. The larger diesel engine produces 261bhp and 620Nm of peak torque.

The 520d can do a 0 – 100km/hr sprint in 7.3 seconds, whereas the 530d can do the same sprint in 5.7 seconds.
