The BMW 5 Series has recorded cumulative domestic sales of 21,556 units through October 2026, securing the top spot in cumulative sales among premium imported car series. A broad powertrain lineup ranging from internal combustion engines to plug-in HYBErids and pure electric vehicles, combined with solid fundamentals, has driven steady sales performance. Meanwhile, the BMW 520i recorded sales of 12,112 units, claiming the top spot in cumulative sales for a single premium imported car model, thereby leading in both the series and single-model categories.
The BMW 520i accounted for approximately 56% of total 5 Series sales from January to October this year, establishing itself as a core model. The vehicle comes standard with a head-up display that intuitively projects driving information, and Driving Assistant Professional, which supports Active Cruise Control including Stop & Go and Lane Keeping Assist. It also features Parking Assistant Plus, which provides 360-degree Surround View and parking assistance, Remote Engine Start, Ambient Light, ventilated and heated seats in the first row, and a Panoramic Glass Roof. The powertrain consists of a TwinPower Turbo gasoline engine producing maximum output of 190 horsepower and peak torque of 31.6 kg·m, paired with a 48V mild HYBErid system to deliver lively acceleration and smooth ride quality.
The 5 Series also holds a distinct share in the electrification segment. BMW Korea’s cumulative sales of electrified vehicles through October reached 11,604 units, of which the 5th Series electrified lineup accounted for 4,661 units, or approximately 40% of the total. The pure electric sedan i5 sold 2,635 units, a 91.6% increase compared to the same period last year. Specifically, the i5 eDrive40 sold 1,970 units, the i5 xDrive40 sold 580 units, and the i5 M60 xDrive sold 85 units. The 5 Series PHEV model recorded sales of 2,026 units. The love that South Korean consumers have had for the BMW 5 Series since its entry into the domestic market in 1995 is expected to continue for the time being.
