The BMW 5 Series (E60/E61) is a mid-size executive car that was produced by BMW from 2003 to 2010. It was the fifth generation of the 5 Series, and it was available in sedan (E60) and wagon (E61) body styles. The E60/E61 was a significant departure from its predecessor, the E39, featuring a more modern and sophisticated design, advanced technology, and a new platform. It was available with a wide range of engines, including gasoline and diesel options, and offered a variety of trim levels and optional features.
The E60/E61 was praised for its driving dynamics, handling, and overall refinement. Its interior was also noted for its luxurious appointments and high-quality materials. However, it was also known for its complex electronics and a number of well-documented reliability issues, particularly with the iDrive system and the VANOS variable valve timing system. The E60/E61 was a popular choice among executive car buyers and remains a desirable vehicle today, especially in well-maintained condition. Its legacy is as a car that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the executive car segment, with its blend of performance, luxury, and advanced technology, even if it came with a few notable drawbacks.
