Vehicle model
BMW 5 Series
The BMW 5 Series is a sedan in the executive (mid-size luxury) segment, positioned above the 3 Series. The G30/G31 generation, produced from 2016, was followed by a new generation that now incorporates fully electric variants (i5) in addition to combustion and plug-in hybrid powertrains. The 5 Series targets a business and family clientele seeking comfort, technology and presence, while retaining the brand's road-going character. It combines interior space, high-end equipment and a broad range of powertrains. On the tire and wheel side, this upper-mid-size sedan commonly uses 18- to 20-inch wheels; low-profile and run-flat tires are frequent. In Quebec, quality winter tires, often mounted on a set of smaller-diameter wheels, are essential for winter safety and comfort.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les BMW modernes utilisent fréquemment des jantes de 17 à 20 pouces et plus, les versions M ou les VUS comme la X5 montant souvent dans le haut de cette plage. Plusieurs modèles adoptent un montage à entraxe à cinq trous courant sur la gamme récente, et certaines configurations sportives recourent à des dimensions différentes à l'avant et à l'arrière (montage étagé). Les pneus à profil bas, voire à roulage à plat (run-flat), sont répandus d'origine. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires et essentiels pour ces véhicules à fort couple : un jeu de jantes dédié de plus petit diamètre facilite souvent le montage hivernal. Validez toujours dimensions, entraxe et indices de charge propres au modèle et à l'année.
