The tested model of BMW 5 Series was introduced in Australia during 2010. This rating applies all variants with 4 and 6 cylinder engines. The V8 variant is unrated.
The diesel left-hand-drive European 530d model was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page.
Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to all seats. Other safety features include a head-up display, lane guidance, active cruise control, rear view camera and night vision enhancement.
Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point (lap) seat belt.
