 BMW 5 series
With the new 5 Series announced yesterday, BMW is stretching this philosophy to bring a replacement design to market more advanced and less traditional than even the E36 3 series was in 1990.
Moving down the car, the 5 Series has no classic BMW body side grove (a feature that Audi seems keen to pick up – witness the new A3 and Nuvolari concept) to give a cleaner form.
Code named E60, the new car is the 5th generation 5 Series and replaces a car widely perceived as the class benchmark with a marginally longer, wider and taller design that offers more space for passengers and particularly luggage.

 BMW 3-Series
Where BMW used to rave of 10 airbags in some models, there are now a more manageable six airbags in the latest 3-Series - two in the front, two in the sides of the front seats and curtains down the length of each side to help meet new US side-impact regulations.
BMW has spent years - 30, to be precise - building the 3-Series up to be the sports sedan of choice.
The E90 model 3-Series, like all new BMW sedans, has no spare tyre, instead relying on run-flat tyres, which boast a firmer construction and stiff rubber inner to allow them to be driven for a couple of hundred kilometres for repair.

 BMW 8-Series
BMW heard the message loud and clear by 1993 when it launched the V8-powered 840Ci, which sold alongside the V12 version (which became known as the 850Ci) until 1996 when the V12 was unceremoniously dumped.
But just to prove that newer is not necessarily better, BMW failed to capture anything like the same level of public acceptance when its all-new spiritual successor for the 6-Series was released in the early 1990s.
The only problem is that a late-model BMW 635i Coupe with its classic, high-stepping in-line six-cylinder engine and manual gearbox, is a nicer thing to drive and is also held in higher esteem by enthusiasts.
