The BMW 5-Series (E60) is a premium executive sedan that was produced by the German automaker BMW from 2003 to 2010. The fifth generation of the 5-Series, the E60 model was known for its sharp styling, powerful engine options, and advanced technology features. It was available in a variety of body styles, including sedan, wagon (Touring), and even a long-wheelbase version. The E60 5-Series was built on BMW's new platform, which featured a lighter and more rigid chassis, a wider track, and a longer wheelbase compared to its predecessor. This resulted in improved handling, ride comfort, and overall driving dynamics.

Notable engine options included the naturally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-six and 4.8-liter V8, as well as the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 in the M5 variant. The E60 5-Series was also one of the first BMW models to feature the innovative iDrive infotainment system, which integrated various functions like navigation, climate control, and audio into a single, centrally-mounted rotary knob and screen. The introduction of the E60 marked a significant shift in the 5-Series's design and engineering, emphasizing technology, performance, and a more driver-focused experience. It set the stage for the future generations of the 5-Series and cemented its position as a benchmark for luxury and performance in the executive sedan segment.
