Overview
The G60 BMW 5 Series is an executive sedan launched in 2024, aimed at buyers wanting a five-seat, rear-wheel-drive BMW saloon with petrol-hybrid power. Prices start at RM340,800 for the 520i and rise to RM407,800 for the 530i M Sport. Its entry price sits close to the Volvo ES90’s RM339,888 starting point and below the Mercedes-Benz E-Class from RM367,888.
5 Series in 2026 — what's new
The G60 5 Series carries into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific model update announced. The Malaysian line-up remains the 520i, 520i M Sport and 530i M Sport, all using 1,998 cc petrol-hybrid/REV power, rear-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. BMW has announced a global starter-motor recall affecting about 575,000 vehicles across several model lines, including 5 Series models, so owners should confirm their individual car’s status.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the RM340,800 520i: it shares the 1,998 cc, 208 hp petrol-hybrid/REV, rear-wheel-drive automatic layout and five-seat cabin quoted for the 520i M Sport. The RM24,000 step to the RM364,800 M Sport is for M Sport trim, so check the equipment list before paying it. Choose the RM407,800 530i M Sport only if its 255 hp output matters; the RM43,000 gap from the 520i buys 47 hp plus M Sport trim on paper.
Verdict
The G60 offers a straightforward three-variant petrol-hybrid/REV executive-sedan range, with rear-wheel drive and automatic transmission throughout. The 520i enters below the E-Class, though the Volvo ES90 starts RM912 lower. The G60’s electric i5 counterpart shows that the 5 Series character survives the move to electric power, but the petrol range’s equipment detail needs checking before committing to an M Sport badge.

The BMW 5 Series range costs from RM340,800 for the 520i to RM407,800 for the 530i M Sport. The 520i M Sport sits between them at RM364,800.
Which BMW 5 Series variant should I buy?
Buy the 520i unless you specifically want M Sport trim or the 530i M Sport’s 255 hp output. It has the same quoted 208 hp, 1,998 cc rear-wheel-drive automatic mechanical package as the 520i M Sport.
Is the BMW 5 Series available as an electric car?
Yes. The BMW i5 is the fully electric G60 5 Series. The 520i, 520i M Sport and 530i M Sport are instead 1,998 cc petrol-hybrid/REV models.
Is the BMW 5 Series affected by the starter-motor recall?
BMW’s global starter-motor recall covers about 575,000 vehicles and includes 5 Series models. Confirm your car’s VIN with BMW, as the recall information does not establish that every G60 5 Series is affected.
