The BMW 5 Series E60 is a mid-size luxury sports sedan that replaced the BMW 5 series, E39, in 2003. The related E61 platform is used for the station wagon while the BMW M5 variant was one of the highest performance sedans on the market. In March 2010 the E60 and E61 platforms were replaced by the BMW F10 platform.

Initial release

Alpina B5 (2005-)

In 2005 Alpina introduced the B5 which is powered by a supercharged 4.4 litre V8 [7] producing 500 hp (373 kW; 507 PS) and 700 N⋅m (520 lb⋅ft) of torque. It was available only with 6 speed ZF transmission. Top speed is 314 km/h (195 mph) and 0–100 km/h time is 4.7 seconds, the same as the E60 M5.

M5

The BMW M5 is powered by a 5 litre V10 engine. Revving to 8250 rpm, the engine produced 507 hp (378 kW) at 7750 rpm and 520Nm (383 lb-ft) at 6100 rpm.[citation needed] 0–100 km/h time is 4.7 seconds (although this has proven to be a conservative number. Tests have shown it to be capable of 4.1 seconds with the 6-speed manual and possibly faster with SMG's launch control program) while top speed is limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).

BMW 5 Series Security

The 5 Series Security is an armoured version of the BMW 5 Series sedan with ballistic protection level B4. It included a choice of 367 PS (270 kW; 362 hp) V8 (from BMW 550i) and 258 PS (190 kW; 254 hp) I6 (from BMW 530i) engines, high-performance fibre composites (aramid, polyethylene) and special-purpose steel reinforced chassis, 21 millimetres thick glass with a polycarbonate layer for the windows.[8]

The vehicle was unveiled in 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show.[9]

BMW 5 Series Authority Vehicle

The 5 Series Authority Vehicle is designed for police forces, fire services, and emergency rescue services. It has a firearm bracket in the rear center armrest.[10]

Development

The development programme for the E60 began in 1997, concluding in 2003. The final design, penned by Davide Arcangeli under the directorship of Chris Bangle, was approved in 2000 and German design patents filed on April 16, 2002.

Comparison with predecessor

While its predecessor, the E39, shared many features with the 7 series, the E60 was different to other BMWs in production at the time. The E60 is longer, wider, heavier and higher than the previous model, which translates into more interior and trunk space. The E60 also introduced a different style to the 5-series line with a much rounder body and an interior, while not driver-oriented like in the E39, is flat like in the E65 7-series with an LCD display, basic buttons and the iDrive system.

Aftermarket parts

The E60 received much acclaim from the automotive community, prompting specialist companies to produce aftermarket parts for it, including copies of M-Sport parts. For example, Hamann, AC Schnitzer, Hartge, and Dinan flooded the market with parts for the E60 which were cheaper than the originals. Furthermore, many after market performance parts were produced for the already swift E60.

Platform derivates

A derivative of the E60 is the E63/E64 which forms the iteration of the 6 Series coupe. A factory-stretched long-wheelbase version of the E60 5-Series was offered in China, as a response to the Audi A6 L. It offered much of the rear legroom of a large executive saloon (e.g. BMW 7-Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class), but in a cheaper, simpler model. As of 2009, trim levels included the 520Li, 523Li, 525Li, and 530Li.[citation needed]

Technology

BMW 530xi wagon

E60 body was made using aluminium for the front of the car, and steel for the passenger cabin and rear thus making 50:50 weight balance.[11] E60 was available with BMW's xDrive system in 525xi, 528xi, 530xi, 535xi, 525xd and 530xd models.

Equipment

Its iDrive system has been simplified from the system in the BMW 7 Series (E65). It can be ordered with a full array of options such as active cruise control, head-up display, active steering, and the Harman Kardon Logic7 stereo system. Other available equipment in E60 was Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Voice Control, Adaptive Headlights, BMW Night Vision, Active Headrests, Bi-Xenon headlights, Run-flat tyres and other equipment typical for luxury cars. Equipment in E60 was always upgrading, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, Adaptive Headlights, LED rear lights, Lane Departure Warning, Brake Force Display was available few years after the introduction.

Safety

Euro NCAP scores[12]
Adult Occupant:
Child Occupant:
Pedestrian:

Initially the 5-series received a three-star rating for adult occupants.[13] However changes were made to the steering column, footrest, door trims, door latch, airbags and electronic software and the car was retested achieving its four-star rating. BMW claims the modifications improved the car's EuroNCAP score, not the vehicle's safety; consequently BMW chose not to recall the earlier-built cars.[14]

2008 sedan NHTSA scores[15]
Frontal Driver:
Frontal Passenger:
Side Driver:
Side Rear Passenger:
Rollover:

The American Insurance Institute of Highways Safety (IIHS) gives the 5-series a "Good" overall rating in frontal collisions but a "Marginal" overall rating for side impact collisions.[16][17] The IIHS reported their side impact test would likely cause driver related rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries. The IIHS tests were conducted on models built after May 2007; these models had modifications to improve side impact safety.

Production

BMW 5 Series Security was manufactured alongside the series model at BMW's Dingolfing plant, with armouring prepared before being shipped to a specialist facility in Toluca, Mexico, where the vehicles complete the final assembly stage.[8]

2007 update

The LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) model was released in 2007. This LCI model included a facelift of the front and rear end of the vehicle. This update included a new front bumper, fog lights, headlights, tail lights and trunk. The interior was also slightly remodelled as well and included changes to door handles, position of power window buttons, updated iDrive with shortcut buttons(for late 2008) models, sleeker gear change lever for the auto transmission. Besides these changes, the 5 Series gained new engines, transmission and an updated iDrive from the BMW X5.

Transmissions

When introduced E60 was available with 6 speed manual or automatic Steptronic transmissions. SMG Sequential Manual Gearbox was available soon for drivers who wanted manual gearchange without clutch.

After the Life Cycle Update (LCI), cars with the normal 6-speed automatic gearbox got a new gear selector which was completely electronic and separate from the gearbox itself, the gear indicator is within the front of the knob and the lever will always return to its original position after each movement. The knob also faces towards the driver. A new 6-speed sport automatic replaced the SMG gearbox promising faster shift times. The sport automatic gearbox was available from June 2007 production. Cars with the new six-speed sport automatic have steering wheel paddles, a different gear selector which isn't faced towards the driver and a button behind the lever, on the console. The six-speed sport automatic gearbox was only available on 530i, 550i, 530d and 535d models, as an option. The 535d model was available only with six-speed automatic or six-speed sport automatic (no manual).
