A few days ago, the author learned from relevant channels that the 2023 BMW 530Li xDrive model will be officially discontinued after the end of the production month in October. That is, from November this year, BMW Brilliance will no longer produce the BMW 530Li xDrive model, but because the dealer owns some existing cars, consumers will still be able to buy the model for some time, but there will be restrictions on options.

It is worth mentioning that the news of this suspension only involves BMW 5 series four-wheel drive models, while models such as BMW 525Li and BMW 530Li leading models in rear-drive form will continue to be produced at the Shenyang production base. In addition, according to previous reports, the BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid version manufactured by BMW Brilliance will also stop production from October this year.

According to the official website of BMW China, the BMW 530Li xDrive is currently the only four-wheel drive model of the domestic BMW 5 Series, with luxury package and M sports package version options, and the guidance price is 495,500 yuan. From the product itself, the BMW 530Li xDrive is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 180 kW (245 hp) and a peak torque of 350 Nm, and the drivetrain is mated to an 8-speed manual automatic transmission.

From the perspective of market performance, the BMW 5 Series still has a good appeal in the alternating stage of the old and the new, of which the sales volume in the domestic market in June was 9773 units (fuel-powered), but there is a certain gap compared with the two old rivals of Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6L.

According to previously disclosed information, BMW Brilliance is expected to start production of the new generation BMW 5 Series in January 2024, while the pure electric i5 will also achieve localized production and sales. However, it is worth mentioning that the new Mercedes-Benz E-class has completed the declaration in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the new Mercedes-Benz E-class standard axle version has also appeared in China a few days ago, which means that the Mercedes-Benz E-class may be one step ahead of the replacement work. So will you choose to copy the cash, or wait for the new BMW 5 Series or the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class? Welcome to leave a comment.
