The sixth generation of the BMW 5 Series went on sale this summer. All-new 2011 BMW 5 Series carry over softer and more sculpted side, recently updated reflecting the new BMW 7 Series and Z4 while keeping the kidney-shaped grille and traditional Hofmeister kink on the back window
Series 5 is just one inch longer and wider, fractionally lower than the version out, but the wheelbase has been extended by more than three inches. This leaves a short trunk lid, longer hood, and produce a larger car, close-to-ground-up. Despite the longer wheelbase cabin space but has not grown commensurately larger trunk.
BMW redesigns rarely engine and car together so we expect the North American Series 5 offers normally aspirated three-liter six-cylinder of about 260 hp (528i or 530i), a 300-310 hp twin-turbo 3-liter six (535i) , and the twin-turbo V8 engine 400 hp (550i). A diesel might be available, both four-cylinder or six 245-265 hp 3-liter 185-hp. A six-speed manual gearbox will be standard on most, an eight-speed automatic is available new, hoping to expand the line with all-wheel drive is available then and standard on the wagon.
Outright performance should mirror today with some models capable of 0-60 in less than 5 seconds and 30 mpg diesel, new car likely will be heavier but the extra gear great equalizers. In terms of handling, ride and control his own BMW 3 Series is a scourge for agility, and the front suspension is completely new, updated rear suspension and active control is available the same should provide an excellent quality of the journey. Active steering will be offered again, although the standard BMW wheel ranks among the best.

BMW will be purely Teutonic cabin with head slightly tilted toward the dash drivers, asymmetric center console and clarity of purpose. White instrument-on-black, amber in the digital display and navigation screen remains substantially the driver apprised of the various information and allows a lot of tailoring the specifics. Base cars will likely use the upholstery, though with a high standard fit and finish, while the skin will default on a higher model, along with wood and materials suitable for Scandinavian simplicity.
A full load of technology is on the palette as well, with the worth of the alphabet on the active chassis and safety controls, variable cooling openings in the lattice, and the bits that are already there, such as head-up display, the latest-iteration (and much better) iDrive, the line departure warning, parking sensors, rear camera and night vision. New gadgets may include adaptive lights with automatic control range and high-beam assistant, surround camera view, drivetrain energy healing, and assistant to parallel-park.
