Two styling packages are available in China – M Sport and Luxury, differentiated by the design of the front and rear bumpers as well as wheel design.

Furthermore, BMW’s joint venture in China, BMW Brilliance will also offer a “Shadow Line” package on the new 5 Series, which swaps out the chrome trim for gloss black trim, which extends to the front grille and side window trim.

Apart from the petrol-powered variants, BMW Brilliance is also set to introduce the 530Le, the plug-in hybrid version of the 5 Series.

The upcoming BMW 530Le plug-in hybrid can be had with the same options as the regular petrol-powered 5 Series, though the 530Le is fitted, likely as standard, with plug-in hybrid-specific alloy wheels.

Dimension wise, the China-market BMW 5 Series is 5,106 mm long, 1,868 mm wide, and 1,500 mm tall. The L suffix in the model name indicates that the 5 Series in China is a long wheelbase model, as it gets a 3,105 mm wheelbase, 130 mm more than other markets. BMW Brilliance does not sell the regular (short wheelbase) version of the 5 Series in China.
Considering the sheer number of leaks, we reckon that an official launch is just around the corner. Stay tuned.
