Richmond Hill, ON. BMW Canada is proud to announce the return of a true icon with the launch of the 2026 BMW 540i xDrive Legacy Edition. This exclusive edition reintroduces a highly sought-after variant for a limited time to the Canadian 5 Series (G60) lineup - one that embodies the essence of the traditional 5 Series experience. With its revered inline 6-cylinder engine at the core, the Legacy Edition delivers the kind of performance and refinement long associated with BMW’s most celebrated sedans.
Further elevating its appeal, the Legacy Edition includes BMW Individual Manufaktur paintwork at no additional cost, M Sport Pro Package, 21" Individual wheels, and a rich suite of premium equipment – all offered at a single, all-inclusive MSRP. Limited to 151 units, this special edition has been carefully curated for customers who appreciate both heritage and performance.
The 2026 BMW 540i xDrive Legacy Edition is powered by the now-legendary 3.0-litre BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine with an output of 375 hp and 398 lb-ft. of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the 540i xDrive accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds. The intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system ensures optimal traction and stability, making it a perfect companion for Canadian driving conditions.
Inside, the vehicle offers a luxurious and spacious cabin, featuring high-quality materials and advanced technology. BMW iDrive with Operating System 8.5 and the BMW Curved Display provide seamless connectivity and intuitive control, while the 18 speaker Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System elevates the driving experience with premium audio quality.
The 2026 BMW 540i xDrive Legacy Edition will be available for order starting June 18, with deliveries expected to begin in Q4 2025. Interested customers are encouraged to contact their local BMW dealership for more information and to secure their limited production model.
