FORM, FUNCTION, AND FUN

STRATOSPHERIC HORSEPOWER NUMBERS, headsnapping acceleration figures, and cutting edge technology are perfect for making headlines. Indeed, access to the latest, greatest, fastest, and most advanced vehicles available are why many Club Braman members gravitate to Braman Motorcars. Eyepopping stats certainly sell vehicles; however, there’s still something to be said for sensibility.

For many families throughout Palm Beach County, a safe, high-quality, competent and comfortable vehicle is all that is needed. Something that can handle sports practices, shopping, and date nights with equal aplomb—and without a payment rivaling that of a mortgage.

Especially when two such vehicles are required.

Fortunately, the 2023 BMW 530i and X5 sDrive40i represent the perfect 2-car garage for nearly any Club Braman client.

The subdued yet attractive styling language of the 530i mimics that of its brethren costing upwards of double its $56,000 MSRP. The classic sports sedan is easily at home at an executive parking space or swinging around the blind corners of A1A. The same DNA which underpins the races M5 are present, while the 248 horsepower turbocharged engine provides bountiful low-end torque while returning over 33 mpg on the highway.

The optional full leather upholstery is the same found throughout the BMW range, and the suite of interior and exterior color combinations emphasize that a flare for the dramatic can exist simultaneously with practicality.

When even more of the latter is required however, the X5 sDrive40i steps into the spotlight. With optional seating for seven, children, iPads, football and soccer gear, the family dog, and more will all find comfort within its spacious confines. Even when fully loaded, the 335 horsepower 6-cylinder engine, aided by a 48V mild-hybrid system easily sprints to highway speeds, and cruises through 26 mpg. The distinct, brawny styling won’t be easily lost in a parking lot or valet line, and standard mobile device connectivity ensures entertainment for all.

Even the family boat or camper can come along for extended trips, thanks to the X5 sDrive40i’s 7,200 lb towing capacity.

Outside of social media and the wider automotive press, the best cars are those which simply promise reliable and comfortable everyday use.

Whether for work or play, the only thing the 2023 BMW 530i and X5 sDrive40i won’t do is drive up monthly expenses— perhaps the most crucial stat of all.
