Elegant and enticing

The 2024 BMW 530 brings luxury to a practical sedan that’s perfect for daily commuting. The 2024 530 comes standard with a turbocharged 255-hp 2.0L four-cylinder engine. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available, making this a great choice if you live in a snowy area. The 530 was redesigned for this model year and is slightly bigger than the previous 530s. The sedan is packed with standard features ranging from driver-assist features like blind spot monitoring to luxury touches like a Harman Kardon® sound system.

5 reasons to buy the 2024 BMW 530

1. Space for people and cargo 

Whether you need space to take your kids to their rehearsals or want to know that your golf clubs will fit in the trunk, the 2024 BMW 530 offers plenty of space. The 530 was redesigned for this model year, giving more space for passengers and 18.4 cu-ft of cargo space in the trunk. With the added room, the 2024 530 can fit all aspects of your life.  

2. Optional hands-free driving 

When you spend a lot of time commuting, it’s good to know you have technology on your side. The 2024 BMW 530 comes standard with many driver assist features, including blind spot monitoring and lane departure warning. But the most exciting is the optional Highway Assistant, BMW’s hands-free driving mode, which is available in the Driving Assistance Professional Package. The program monitors your eye movements and, as long as your eyes are on the road ahead, steers, brakes, and accelerates automatically.  

3. Fantastic sound systems 

If you always know the latest and greatest music, you’ll love the 2024 BMW 530’s sound systems. The sedan comes standard with a 16-speaker Harman Kardon Sound system, which pairs nicely with the standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity. For even better acoustics, choose the available 18-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio. Whether you’re hyping yourself up for a gym session or a night on the town, these stereos will not disappoint.  

4. Cold weather ready 

Winter driving is no worry with the 2024 BMW 530. The available xDrive, BMW’s all-wheel-drive system, will keep you from slipping on snowy or icy roads. The available Convenience Package takes the bite out of cold mornings, with remote start through the vehicle key, heated seats, and heated steering wheel. Want even more comfort? Opt for the available Luxury Seating Package, which adds heated rear seats and ventilated front seats.  

5. Upscale interior 

Even with all its available bells and whistles, one of the biggest reasons to buy the 2024 BMW 530 is because of its comfort and luxury. All 2024 530s come standard with leatherette seats, a sunroof, and a sleek, well-designed cabin. Available options — including genuine leather, a panoramic sunroof, and seats that are heated, ventilated, and highly adjustable — mean you’ll never be uncomfortable, no matter how long your drive is.

Cost

According to RepairPal, cost is the average total annual cost for unscheduled repairs and maintenance across all model years of a vehicle. Higher average cost alone does not necessarily mean a vehicle is less reliable.

The related cost of a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features.

Frequency

According to RepairPal, frequency is the average number of times the vehicle is brought into the shop for unscheduled repairs and maintenance in a single year. RepairPal reports that it calculates this metric by tracking millions of unique vehicles over multiple years to determine an average number of visits per year for each make and model; and that controls are included to omit small routine visits to shops (such as for oil changes).

The frequency of such visits for a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features.

Severity

According to RepairPal, severity measures the probability that a repair will be a major issue. RepairPal reports that an issue is considered severe if a repair costs three-times the average annual repair cost for all models. This threshold will be higher for vehicles that have higher labor rates and parts costs (such as a premium brand).
