[edit] History

The pre-facelift 5 Series (left, right) in comparison to the E65 pre-facelift BMW 7 Series Sedan (middle)
The 5 Series got its name by being the fifth of the "new series" cars after the V-8 and Isetta era. The preceding models were the 700, the "New Class", the "New Six" 2500/2800/Bavaria and the CS. The 5 Series was intended to replace the older New Six sedans.
The first generation's body was styled by Marcello Gandini, based on the Bertone 1970 BMW Garmisch 2002ti Geneva show car. Gandini also did the Fiat 132 and Alfa Romeo Alfetta, two other cars that have a similar design.
There have been six generations of the 5 Series to date. To differentiate between them, they are referred to by their unique chassis numbers (EXX or FXX).
The 5 Series began the BMW tradition of being named with a three-digit number. The first digit (5 in this case) represents the model, and the following two digits (usually) represent the size of the engine in decilitres, which is the main distinguishing difference. Additional letters or words may be added to the end of the three-digit number to define the fuel type (petrol or diesel), engine or transmission details, and the body style. The 'i' originally stood for (fuel) 'injection'.

The E39 has been widely praised in all aspects, and it perennially earned a place on Car and Driver's 10Best list.[9] The E39 BMW 5-series was considered the benchmark of its class[10] and Consumer Reports gave the 2001 530i its highest car rating ever. The diesel engines available in the European models provide great torque and smoothness with better economy. The very first E39 BMW 5 Series rolled off the assembly line in February, 1995.[11]
The M5 has been called "the ultimate in discreet speed" with 369 lbf·ft (500 N·m) of torque and a 0–60 mph time of 4.8  s, and was praised for its excellent mix of handling and comfort.[12] The only downside was its smallish cabin and tiny trunk space of 11.1 ft³ (314 L).

The BMW E60 was the fifth generation of the 5 Series. Its styling (designed by late BMW designer Davide Arcangeli) and many of its advanced features received mixed reviews. It is noted for its non-traditional BMW design, the most controversial being the "Bangle butt" rear-end, though since then critics have said that the design has aged well as of 2010.[13][14] Despite criticism over its exterior design and interior electronics, this became the best-selling 5 Series.[15] Considered the heart of the BMW brand, it generated 20 percent of the company’s profits and accounted for between 25 and 30 percent of sales in the key U.S. market (but just 2 percent in Canada). Since 2005, the 5 Series has been the segment leader, out-selling the Mercedes-Benz E-Class among others.[16][17]
The E60/61 represented a significant step forward in technology over the previous generation.[18] The controversial iDrive interface featured electronic control over all aspects of the vehicle from the suspension, to brightness of interior lights, to different temperature zones within the cabin. The vehicle was also equipped with an array of safety features from adaptive headlamps to Hill start assist, and was also equipped with a Trailer Stability Program to aid when towing a large trailer or caravan. Other major options included Active Cruise Control and Active Steering. Two new features became available in September 2005, BMW Night Vision and High-Beam Assist.
xDrive Four-wheel drive system became an option on the 5 Series for the first time since the E34 in 1996, available on six-cylinder models. This system was shared with the 3-Series, X3 and X5. 2006-2008 models were badged as the 525xi, 528xi, 530xi and 535xi. For the 2009 model year and onwards, they have been badged as the 528i xDrive and 535i xDrive.
The BMW 5-Series was available in both sedan (E60) and wagon (E61) versions and had the following models:

[edit] Refreshed 5-Series update (January 2007)

The updated E60/E61 5-Series was unveiled on January 8, 2007. For model year 2008, BMW added a slightly redesigned interior, subtle exterior details, and new motor options. Updates included new front and rear bumpers, re-styled front headlights and re-styled LED taillights. A refreshed interior was also presented featuring the new shifter from the new X5, and the addition of the new BMW electronic throttle system.[25]
The 2008 model of the 520i had a new engine: a 2.0 litres 4 cylinders instead of the R6 2.2 litres. High compression and new piezo direct injection technology kept the performance on 170 bhp (127 kW; 172 PS) / 210 N·m (150 lb·ft), but bettered the fuel economy. A Lane Departure Warning System based on core Mobileye technology was added and the Active Cruise Control system added a "Stop and Go" feature which can bring the vehicle to a stop automatically and resume again.[26] BMW also launched a new M5 Touring into their range, but this was not introduced in the USA.

The sixth generation of the 5-Series (BMW F10[28]) made its debut on 23 November 2009 as a 2010 model.[29] The platform is based on the F01 7 Series; improvements include a front dual ball joint short-long arm suspension (replacing the MacPherson strut suspensions BMW previously used), and a rear multilink suspension.[30]
For the powertrain, there is a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, the single turbo inline-6 N55, and the twin-turbo V8 N63.[13][31][32]
It is designed by P.H. McFlagger, with a more prominent upright split kidney grille and the absence of the "Bangle butt" rear-end styling of its E60 predecessor. Externally, the car is a more traditional BMWesque design; a far more sober effort after the highly controversial E60. Although it bears some resemblance to the E60 with the wide kidney grilles and a very pronounced Hofmeister kink, the creases in the bonnet and just underneath the door are clearly related to the E39 and other earlier 5 series models. Inside marks the return of the centre console being clearly angled towards the driver, another marked change from its immediate predecessor which was noted for its non traditional BMW design.[13][32] However, opinion is divided, as a reviewer described the F10 as too bland and conservative, compared to the E60 predecessor, as well as having too much of a resemblance to the E90 3-Series.[14]

[edit] F10/F11 (2011-)

The F10 has, for the European market at least, a choice of 7 engines: a 4.4 litre N63 topping the range in the 550i, followed by a trio of straight 6 petrols. Despite many rumours[33] to the contrary, BMW's second best selling model after the 3 series does not use any 4 cylinder petrol engines this time round. Instead, BMW has retained, for the time being at least, a trio of straight six engines, completing the petrol engine range. The 535i has the 306 bhp (228 kW; 310 PS) 295 lb·ft (400 N·m) BMW N55 engine which made its debut in the F07 5 Series GT, and will shortly find its way into the facelifted BMW E92 and E93.[34] The magnesium block naturally aspirated direct injection straight 6 continues in Europe at least; this engine is the BMW N53; 3.0 litres, 258 bhp (192 kW; 262 PS) for the 528i, and 3.0 litres and 204 bhp (152 kW; 207 PS) for the 523i, same outputs as the BMW E89 Z4 sDrive23i.
The 4 petrol engines are complemented by a trio of diesel engines. Again, despite rumours to the contrary,[35] BMW has decided to only offer one 4 cylinder engine here: the 520d. This means that the 525d continues to offer the superior mechanical refinement of a straight six as opposed to the rumoured 523d with 4 cylinders. The 525d is joined by a 530d; both models use the same BMW N57 3.0 litre engine, the 525d has 204 bhp (152 kW; 207 PS) and 450 N·m (330 lb·ft), the 530d with 245 bhp (183 kW; 248 PS) and 540 N·m (400 lb·ft) of torque. Expect hybrid models later, as well as more powerful straight 6 diesel to replace the award winning 535d.
A long-wheelbase version was released by Brilliance-BMW in China on August 5, 2010, with three engine options—all having 6 cylinders: 2.5L, 3.0L, and Turbo-3.0L.[36]

[edit] 5 Series Gran Turismo (F07)

Main article: BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo
BMW 535i Gran Turismo
In May 2009, BMW released the official pictures of its production model 5 Series Gran Turismo (BMW F07), which is considered a coupé-like crossover vehicle or station wagon - a blend of different typical body styles. BMW advertises the new 5 Series GT as "The First of its Kind". The GT is taller than other fastback competitors.[37]
The F07 Gran Turismo (designed by Christopher Weil) shares the same F01 7 Series-derived platform, powertrain, mechanical package, and dashboard with the F10. However the F07's fascia has different headlights and bumper, with a larger split-kidney grille similar to that of the F01 7 Series. The F07 also has a taller height resulting in a higher center of gravity, its longer length allows for more rear legroom, the rear passenger accommodation has optional "Executive" bucket seats for two instead of the three-seat bench, and it weights 400 pounds heavier compared to the F10. The F07 also features frame-less doors and a double-pane liftgate truck.[38]
The 5 Series GT is powered by a single-turbo diesel I6 producing 245 PS, by a single-turbo I6 producing 306 PS and a twin-turbo V8 producing 408 PS; the latter will give the car a 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds. This is the first BMW to receive the new ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, along with a new Brake Energy Regeneration system.[39]
BMW has suggested that the new 5 Series GT would replace the 5 Series Touring (wagon) in their North American lineup, due to slow sales of the E61 wagon in the United States, with only 400 sold in 2009. In that country, more BMW M5 and Z8s have been sold than the 535i and 540i wagons, respectively. BMW is targeting annual sales of 4000 to 8000 5 Series GTs.[40] However, the GT concept has befuddled many of BMW owners and potential buyers in the United States, leaving many of them switching to Mercedes-Benz E-Class station wagons. BMW North America regretted its decision to substitute the GT for the 5-Series station wagon.[41][42]
The F07 was released in the fourth quarter of 2009 as a 2010 model, before the rest of the next-generation 5 Series lineup. In Canada and the United States, for first half of 2010, the Gran Turismo was sold alongside the outgoing E60 5 Series, until the rollout of the F10 in June 2010 for the 2011 model year.[43]

[edit] BMW 5 series ActiveHybrid

The hybrid electric concept version of the BMW 5 series, introduced as BMW Concept 5 Series ActiveHybrid, was unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The use of BMW ActiveHybrid technology allows the hybrid electric version to reduce both fuel consumption and emissions by more than 10%.[44] According to BMW, the Series to Come|publisher=Green Car Congress|date=2010-05-18|accessdate=2011-07-18}}</ref>
