The BMW 5 Series offers several engine options, each with its own unique features and performance. Overall, the most highly recommended engine would be the 530i or the 540i. Both are powerful, efficient, and offer a smooth driving experience. However, if you prioritize fuel efficiency, the 530e plug-in hybrid option would be a great choice. It may have a slightly higher price point, but it will save you money in the long run with fuel savings.

Personally, I've owned a BMW 5 Series with a diesel engine and it has been incredibly reliable, even with high mileage. It may not be the most popular option, but it offers great fuel efficiency and a strong torque for a smooth driving experience. Don't count it out as a worthy option.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, the 520i may seem like a good choice due to its lower price point, but keep in mind that it has a smaller engine and may not offer the same level of performance as the other options. If you prioritize a good balance between cost and performance, go for the 530i or 540i.
