When equipped with the optional navigation system, the 2010 BMW 5-Series gets the latest version of BMW's iDrive electronics interface.
There are also a new Value package and M Sport package. Introduction For 2010 BMW 5-Series, all 5 Series thankfully get the latest iDrive knob and accompanying menu buttons, but without navigation, the same old convoluted menu structure remains. We suggest opting for the navigation system, which includes the higher-resolution screen and improved iDrive menus found in the all-new 7 Series.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2010 BMW 5 Series is available in sedan and wagon body styles. The wagon comes in 535i xDrive trim only.
The 528i comes standard with 17-inch wheels, a sunroof, automatic headlights and wipers, power front seats with driver memory and power headrests, a power tilt-telescoping steering column, leatherette vinyl upholstery, automatic climate control, the iDrive electronics interface and a 10-speaker stereo with a CD player and an auxiliary audio jack. There are several sport packages available.
The Sport package available on the 528i and 535i adds active roll stabilization, 18-inch wheels, performance tires, a sport-tuned suspension, "Comfort" front seats and a sport steering wheel. The Sport package available on the xDrive models only includes the seats and steering wheel. The M Sport package available on all trim levels includes all the regular Sport package items, but adds an aerodynamic body kit, dark gray headliner and on the 550i, 19-inch wheels.
The sedans are rear-wheel drive by default, but the 528i and 535i sedans can be equipped with all-wheel drive. Safety Standard safety equipment includes stability control, antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags and front and rear side curtain airbags.
Rear-seat side airbags are optional. In government crash tests, the 2010 BMW 5 Series earned only three out of five stars for driver protection in a frontal crash, although it did receive a full five stars for front passenger protection and front and rear side protection. Rear-seat head- and legroom are also generous for its class. When equipped with the new hard-drive-based navigation system, iDrive features the same updated control knob, physical menu buttons, high-resolution display screen and revised menu structure found in the new 7 Series.
