The BMW 5 Series (E28) is a mid-size luxury sedan that was produced by the German automaker BMW from 1981 to 1988. Introduced as the successor to the popular E12 5 Series, the E28 embodied BMW's evolving philosophy of creating powerful, refined, and driver-focused automobiles. The E28's design, penned by Paul Bracq, was a departure from its predecessor, featuring a more aerodynamic and sophisticated aesthetic. The car's clean lines, flush-mounted door handles, and aerodynamically sculpted bumpers created a modern and elegant appearance. This generation of the 5 Series was available in various body styles, including a four-door sedan, a two-door coupé, and a station wagon known as the Touring.

Under the hood, the E28 offered a diverse range of engines, catering to a wide spectrum of driving preferences. The base engine was a 2.7-liter inline-six, while more powerful options included a 3.2-liter inline-six and a 3.5-liter V8. The flagship M5, featuring a potent 3.5-liter inline-six producing over 280 horsepower, became a legend in its own right, embodying the spirit of the brand's motorsport heritage. The E28 was equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission as standard, with a 4-speed automatic transmission offered as an optional extra. The E28's handling and performance were praised by critics and enthusiasts alike, thanks to its precise steering, well-balanced suspension, and powerful engines. Its reputation as a driver's car further solidified BMW's reputation as a leading manufacturer of luxury performance vehicles.
