  BMW 5 Series Review @ CarCasher.Com
The new BMW 5 Series models are simply exceptional.
One of the most satisfying midsize sport sedans you can buy, refined engines, multiple transmissions, tastefully appointed cabin, exceptional build quality, strong resale value.
Styling may not appeal to 5 Series loyalists, iDrive system still more hassle than it's worth, costs more than most competitors.

  BMW 5 Series
In many ways the 5 Series development parallels that of the 3 Series with both tracing their heritage to the "Neue Klasse" (New Class) midsize car that went on sale in the U.S. in 1962 as the 1500 four-door sedan.
BMW finally brought the 5 Series to America for the 1975 model year when the 3.0Si's SOHC, 3.0-liter, straight six was installed to produce the 530i.
All 5 Series got revised front fascias for 1995, and the 540i was now available matched to a six-speed manual transmission and a lowered, Motorsport-tuned suspension with 17-inch wheels and tires.

 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.
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.
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.

I am, of course, talking about BMW, and the much vaunted new 5 series, of which I am unfortunate enough to be an owner.
BMW (UK) when asked what they are going to do about this, mutter about it being a matter between the dealer and I, and they might 'help out' if I wanted to change for another BMW, although precisely what this means remains unclear.
BMW should be contacted on (+44) 01344 480411 (ask for Peter Johnson).

 2001 BMW 5 Series
All 5 Series models come with a comprehensive array of safety features: Seatbelts use automatic tensioners and force limiters, and automatically adjust the upper anchor point as the seat is adjusted back and forth.
For 2001, BMW revised the styling of the 5 Series, including a reshaped front kidney-shaped grille, new front lighting units, a new front spoiler, new round front fog lights, new rear lighting clusters with red LEDs for improved reliability and longer service life, body-color side moldings and bumper strips.
Otherwise, the 5 Series remains instantly recognizable as a BMW with its beautifully proportioned lines, and elegant front and rear fascia.

The 5 Series dash is dominated by BMW's double wave theme in two portions: one over the instrument cluster, defining the driver's area and another that begins over the dash center and sweeps toward the right side.
BMW's head-up display projects a six-by-three inch rectangle on the windshield, focused so the display appears to be at the end of the hood, rather than right on the glass.
With 14 cubic feet of trunk space, the 5 Series moves from the bottom of the mid-size luxury class to the higher end.

 Wintonsworld - BMW 5 series
Because, unlike its simple, sleek and universally admired predecessor, the new “5” series’ eye-popping looks are causing some critics to wonder whether they might overshadow the considerable merits of the car.
BMW goes on to say that the point of its latest designs is to escape from what it calls the “Russian doll” school of design – small, larger and larger still but from the same mould – and offer distinctive and individual cars.
The “5” series is available with a 170 bhp 2.2 litre six cylinder petrol engine – the 520i SE - a 3 litre petrol – the 530i SE, and the 530d SE.

The first impression of this fifth-generation BMW 5 Series is that its overall exterior lines blend smoothly with one other.
This sportier 5 Series can also be equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and the sport package that includes not only a larger wheel and tire fitment, but also Active Roll Stabilization (ARS), which keeps body roll in check through corners.
BMW tells us that it doesn't expect the price for the new car to be too much more than the current models, which start just under $40,000.

 DR. STRANGELOVE or HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE "THE NEW BMW 5-SERIES"
BMWs have long been regarded highly for their longevity, but a throw-away car, by definition, is not designed with longevity in mind.
However, this transmission was notchy as compared to other BMW manuals I have driven, and the downshift from 5th to 4th was easily missed.
Nonetheless, the new mechanism on the BMW E60 is terrible.

 Test Drive Notes: 2004 BMW 5 Series
While the 5 Series remains a very nice car to drive, the bag of chisels BMW took to the exterior does this superb car a real disservice.
In a nod to all of the complaints BMW got on the 7 Series, BMW has taken some of the most common items, such as temperature control and radio volume, and given them separate, more traditional switches.
Instead of giving existing 5 Series customers more of what they wanted in the new 5 Series (such as more rear seat room, an updated interior), BMW gave them a bunch of stuff customers never asked for, like an aggressive, angry exterior, and a moronic interior control system called iDrive.

All right, in case you're not a BMW fanatic, you might not know that Bangle is the design boss of the BMW Group, which includes Mini and Rolls-Royce, and is responsible for the look of the new BMW 7 series, the new Z4 and now the car you see above, the newly fashioned 5 series.
Interestingly, although BMW's U.S. sales have been down about 2% so far in 2003 (through the first quarter), most of the losses are in sales of the outgoing 5 series, which is nearly always the case when a model is due for replacement.
Look at the new 5 series and you'll see raked-back headlamps that bend around the hood like the eyes of a shark, multiple folds and creases in the sheet metal that appear to create shadows where they wouldn't naturally fall and a car that, from any angle, looks dynamic rather than static.

BMW's answer to Mercedes-Benz's Active Body Control, ARS splits the front and rear anti-roll bars into two halves, linked by a hydraulic motor.
The 3.0-liter in-line six might not be new, but it's still one of the most rewarding engines in the world, with a deliciously broad torque output and a predilection for keeping its rev needle in the upper ranges of the tach.
The six-speed manual gearbox and the creamy clutch pedal are, in typical BMW fashion, paragons of the breed, and even the new six-speed automatic makes the most of the 214 pound-feet of torque, snapping off shifts in a predictable manner.
