BMW 5 Series
Although we're awaiting the next M5 with bated breath, the “regular” versions of the 5 Series are no slouches either. The M550i xDrive has a 4.4L turbo V8 that pumps 455 horsepower and 480 lb·ft of torque. There’s also the 248-horsepower entry-level 530i xDrive, followed by the 335-horsepower 540i xDrive and a plug-in hybrid version (530e xDrive). The 5 Series has a luxurious cabin where comfort is king.
