BMW Australia has announced new option packages for the 2015 5 Series, presenting buyers with a potential increase in value across the board.
Two main option packages are added to the lineup, including the Professional and Exclusive option packs. The Professional can be had on the 520i, 520d, and 528i, while the Exclusive is for the 535i, 535d, and ActiveHybrid 5.
Starting with the Professional package, prices span from $900 to $3400, although the value of the options in the packages range from $5900 to $12,700. This gives buyers the opportunity to access features that are usually only offered on higher end models.
As for the Exclusive package, it’s priced evenly at $3800 across the upper range. The value of the kit spans from $12,200 to $16,300. It showcases a wide variety of advanced technologies and equipment. Shawn Ticehurst, head of product and market planning at BMW Australia, said,
“Over its history, the 5 Series has marked the intersection where BMW luxury, driving dynamics, and technological advances meet. This is reinforced with the development of our Professional and Exclusive options packages.”
These new options come as BMW Australia phases out the range-topping 550i variant. Those interested in V8 performance can still go for the mighty M5. See below for equipment and prices for each respective option package;
