About This 2013 BMW 5 Series 535i Gran Turismo xDrive

The Gran Turismo body style is one of BMW's most underrated offerings — it blends the roofline and rear hatch versatility of a wagon with the sophisticated profile of a traditional sedan. This particular example shows 96,086 miles, which for a BMW 5 Series powered by the N55 turbocharged engine is well within a comfortable ownership range when it has been properly maintained. At this mileage and price point, you're getting a vehicle that has already absorbed the steepest portion of its depreciation curve, meaning you keep more value in your pocket from day one. The exterior presents in a striking blue finish that suits the Gran Turismo's bold, elevated stance perfectly.
 

2013 BMW 5 Series Performance and Engine

Turbocharged Inline-Six Power

Under the hood sits BMW's celebrated 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six cylinder engine — the N55 — which produces 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque in stock configuration. This engine is widely regarded among enthusiasts as one of the finest six-cylinders ever fitted to a production car: smooth, responsive, and deceptively quick. Paired with BMW's 8-speed Sport Steptronic automatic transmission with manual mode paddle shifting, power delivery is seamless whether you're merging onto Interstate 5 through downtown Sacramento or stretching its legs on Highway 50 toward Folsom.
 

xDrive All-Wheel Drive System

The xDrive all-wheel drive system gives this 535i Gran Turismo a meaningful real-world advantage over its rear-wheel drive counterparts. BMW's xDrive is an intelligent, electronically controlled AWD system that continuously distributes torque between the front and rear axles based on road conditions. For Sacramento-area buyers who occasionally drive into the Sierra Nevada foothills or make winter trips to Lake Tahoe, this is a genuinely valuable feature — not just a checkbox.

BMW 5 Series Features and Interior

Gran Turismo Cabin Space and Comfort

The 535i Gran Turismo rides on a longer wheelbase than the standard 5 Series sedan, which translates directly into rear passenger comfort that rivals many full-size luxury cars. The elevated roofline creates headroom that is genuinely generous by sport sedan standards, and the rear hatch opens to a flexible cargo area that is more practical than the competition. Expect standard features on this trim level to include BMW's iDrive infotainment system, dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats, a premium audio system, and a panoramic sunroof. The interior materials reflect BMW's commitment to tactile quality — soft-touch surfaces, well-weighted controls, and a driver-focused cockpit layout that makes every commute feel purposeful.
 

BMW 5 Series Reliability and Ownership

The 2013 BMW 5 Series built around the N55 engine has a strong reputation among long-term owners. The N55 is considerably more reliable than the older twin-turbo N54 it replaced, with far fewer issues related to fuel injectors and high-pressure fuel pumps. Common maintenance items to be aware of at this mileage include cooling system components, valve cover gaskets, and the occasional oil separator. These are well-documented, owner-serviceable items that an informed buyer can plan for — and they're a reasonable trade-off for the driving experience this car provides. Overall, BMW 5 Series vehicles maintained on schedule regularly see 150,000 to 200,000 miles without major mechanical issues. Buying from a reputable local dealer and getting a pre-purchase inspection reviewed gives you added confidence going in.
