5 Series in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the G60 5 Series carries on unchanged in Malaysia, with the range made up of the 520i, 520i M Sport and 530i M Sport. The latest 2026 headline is not a model update but a global BMW recall involving about 575,000 vehicles over a starter motor issue, with 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series and X models listed.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the 520i at RM 340,800. It gets the same 1,998 cc petrol-hybrid engine and 208 hp output as the 520i M Sport at RM 357,800, so on paper you are paying RM 17,000 for trim, not mechanicals — check the equipment list. Pay RM 399,800 for the 530i M Sport only if you want the 255 hp tune.

BMW 5 Series buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The G60 5 Series is the familiar BMW executive sedan in a newer, larger-generation package, and the electric i5 has already shown that the 5 Series character is still present in this platform. It is not the cheapest car in class: the Lexus ES and Volvo ES90 start lower, while the Mercedes-Benz E-Class starts above the base 520i. The 530i M Sport pushes the price much higher.
