First Look: 2024 BMW 523d xDrive’s Impressive Standard Kit

BMW’s recent tradition of launching a First Edition with new models continues with the G60, the next-gen 5 Series. This high-end sedan has elegantly premiered in Japan, enjoying an exclusive reception. You can now place orders, with production running until February 2024. Expect the first deliveries to customers early next year, marking a new era in luxury driving.

So, what sets the 5 Series First Edition apart from the regular model? It boasts numerous features typically considered optional. Starting as a 523d xDrive, this limited edition enhances its allure with the M Sport Package. It also sports 20-inch M lightweight alloy wheels, showcasing a striking two-tone finish and star-spoke design. To elevate the experience, BMW Japan includes a panoramic glass roof, tinted rear windows, and the distinctive illuminated kidney grille, the Iconic Glow.

For the 523d xDrive First Edition, consumers can choose between Black Sapphire or Mineral White exteriors. Regardless of the selection, the interior exclusively sports black, complemented by glossy black trim and a fusion of vegan leather and Alcantara. The cabin, synonymous with luxury, includes amenities including an internal camera, a Harman Kardon sound system, and crystal controls integrated into a four-zone automatic air conditioning system.

If diesel isn’t your preference, BMW also presents the First Edition of the fully electric i5 eDrive40 in Japan. Additionally, there’s a gasoline-powered 523i available. Both can be conveniently acquired through the local online store, catering to diverse driving tastes in the Land of the Rising Sun.
