The BMW 5 Series is an executive car manufactured by BMW since 1972. It is the successor to the New Class Sedans and is currently in its seventh generation.
Initially, the 5 Series was only available in a sedan bodystyle. The wagon/estate bodystyle (called "Touring") was added in 1991 and the 5-door fastback (called "Gran Turismo") was produced from 2009 to 2017.
The first generation of 5 Series was powered by naturally aspirated four-cylinder and six-cylinder petrol engines. Following generations have been powered by four-cylinder, six-cylinder, V8 and V10 engines that are either naturally aspirated or turbocharged. Since 1982, diesel engines have been included in the 5 Series range.
The 5 Series is BMW's second best-selling model after the 3 Series.[1] On January 29, 2008, the 5 millionth 5 Series was manufactured, a 530d sedan in Carbon Black Metallic.[2]
BMW's three-digit model naming convention began with the first 5 Series,[3] thus the 5 Series was BMW's first model line to use "Series" in the name.
Since the E28, all generations of 5 Series have included an "M" model, called the BMW M5.
First generation (E12; 1972–1981)

The E12 is the first generation of 5 Series, which was produced from 1972 to 1981. It replaced the New Class sedans and was produced in the sedan body style. The initial models were powered by four-cylinder engines, with a six-cylinder engine being introduced a year later.
There was no M5 model for the E12, however the E12 M535i is considered to be the predecessor to the M5.[4][5]
The E12 was replaced by the E28 in 1981, although E12 production continued until 1984 in South Africa.
Second generation (E28; 1981–1988)

The E28 is the second generation of 5 Series, which was produced from 1981 to 1988 in the sedan body style. It was initially produced with petrol four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines.
In 1983, a diesel engine was available for the first time in a 5 Series. The E28 was the first 5 Series with the centre console angled towards the driver and the option of anti-lock brakes (ABS).[6]
The E28 M5 began the line of M5 high performance models that has continued through every generation since. It was powered by the S38B35 and the M88/3 six-cylinder engines.
Third generation (E34; 1988–1996)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/53/BMW_525i_E34.jpg/220px-BMW_525i_E34.jpg)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/1989_BMW_525i_%28E34%29_sedan_%282015-11-13%29_02.jpg/220px-1989_BMW_525i_%28E34%29_sedan_%282015-11-13%29_02.jpg)
The E34 is the third generation of the 5 Series, which was produced from 1988 to 1996. It was launched in the sedan body style, with the range expanded in 1990 to include the "Touring" wagon/estate body style.
The E34 was the first 5 Series to be available with the wagon body style, all-wheel drive and V8 engines. It also saw the introduction of stability control (ASC), traction control (ASC+T) a 6-speed manual transmission and adjustable damping (EDC) to the 5 Series range.
There was an unusually large range of engines fitted over its lifetime, as nine different engine families were used. These consisted of four-cylinder, six-cylinder and V8 petrol engines, and six-cylinder diesel engines.
The E34 M5 is powered by the S38 six-cylinder engine and was produced in sedan and wagon body styles.
Fourth generation (E39; 1995–2003)

![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/2000-2003_BMW_525i_%28E39%29_Executive_sedan_%282011-11-17%29.jpg/220px-2000-2003_BMW_525i_%28E39%29_Executive_sedan_%282011-11-17%29.jpg)
The E39 is the fourth generation of 5 Series, which was sold from 1995 to 2004. It was launched in the sedan body style, with the wagon/estate body style (marketed as "Touring") introduced in 1996.
The E39 was the first 5 Series to use aluminium components in the front suspension. The proportion of chassis components using aluminium significantly increased for the E39,[7] in order to reduce weight. It was also the first 5 Series where a four-cylinder diesel engine was available.
V8 models use recirculating ball steering (as per previous 5 Series generations), however rack and pinion steering was used for the first time, in the four-cylinder and six-cylinder models. Unlike its E34 predecessor and E60 successor, the E39 was not available with all-wheel drive.
The E39 M5 sedan was introduced in 1998, powered by the 4.9-litre S62 V8 engine.
Fifth generation (E60/E61; 2003–2010)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/2007-2010_BMW_520d_%28E60%29_sedan_02.jpg/220px-2007-2010_BMW_520d_%28E60%29_sedan_02.jpg)
The E60/E61 is the fifth generation of the 5 Series, which was sold from 2003 to 2010. The body styles of the range are:
- 4-door sedan/saloon (E60 model code)
- 5-door estate/wagon (E61 model code, marketed as "Touring")
The E60 generation introduced various new electronic features to the 5 Series, including iDrive, head-up display, active cruise control, active steering and voice control. The E60 also was the first 5 Series to be available with a turbocharged petrol engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission and regenerative braking. New safety features for the E60 included adaptive headlights, night vision, active headrests, Lane Departure Warning and high intensity emergency brake lights.
The E60/E61 M5 was released in 2005 and is powered by the S85 V10 engine. It was sold in the sedan and wagon body styles, with most cars using a 7-speed automated manual transmission ("SMG III").
Sixth generation (F10/F11/F07/F18; 2010–2016)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/BMW5er_6.jpg/220px-BMW5er_6.jpg)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/2010_BMW_528i_%28F10%29_sedan_01.jpg/220px-2010_BMW_528i_%28F10%29_sedan_01.jpg)
The BMW F10/F11/F07/F18 is the sixth generation of the BMW 5 Series, which was produced from 2010 to 2017.[8][9] The body styles of the range are:
- 4-door sedan/saloon (F10)
- 5-door estate/wagon (F11, branded as "Touring")
- 5-door fastback (F07, branded as "Gran Turismo")
- 4-door long wheelbase sedan (F18, sold only in China and the Middle East)
The F07 Gran Turismo is the only 5 Series to date that has been produced in a fastback body style. The F10 is also the first 5 Series to offer a hybrid drivetrain, a turbocharged V8 engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission, a dual-clutch transmission (in the M5), active rear-wheel steering (called "Integral Active Steering"), electric power steering, double-wishbone front suspension, an LCD instrument cluster (called "Black Panel Display") and automatic parking (called "Parking Assistant").[10]
The F10 M5 is powered by the S63 twin-turbo V8 engine with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. It is the first M5 to use a turbocharged engine.
Seventh generation (G30/G31/G38; 2017–present)
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/2018_BMW_520d_xDrive_M_Sport_Automatic_2.0_Rear.jpg/220px-2018_BMW_520d_xDrive_M_Sport_Automatic_2.0_Rear.jpg)
The BMW G30/G31/G38 is the seventh generation of the 5 Series. It was officially announced in October 2016, and sales began in February 2017.[11][12][13]
The body styles of the range are:
- 4-door sedan/saloon (G30)
- 5-door wagon/estate (G31)
- 4-door long-wheelbase saloon (G38)
The fastback 5 Series GT model from the previous generation is no longer part of the model range, because it has been moved to the 6 Series model range.[14]
The G30 is based on the same modular platform as the 7 Series (G11). BMW plans to release a saloon- and estate-style plug-in hybrid, the 530e iPerformance, which would have the advanced driver-assistance systems found in the 7 Series.[15]
The F90 M5 is the M5 model for the G30 generation, and is the first M5 to use all-wheel drive. It is powered by an upgraded version of the S63 twin-turbo V8 engine used in the previous generation M5.[16]
