About the BMW G30
The seventh-generation 5 Series arrived for 2017 on BMW’s CLAR platform, lighter and more tech-laden than the F10 it replaced. The G30 introduced semi-autonomous driving assistance, gesture control and a thoroughly modernised iDrive, while the engine range stretched from efficient four-cylinder diesels to plug-in hybrids and the mighty M550i V8. Alpina’s B5 and D5 pushed performance further still. Praised for blending comfort, refinement and driver engagement, the G30 remained the benchmark executive saloon until the G60 arrived for 2024.
