2011 BMW 5-series - Click above for high-res image gallery
The
5 Series is an important model for
BMW, particularly in North America where it is the brand's second best seller behind only the
3 Series. Heading into 2010, BMW has expanded its mid-size line with the new
Gran Turismo body style that is already on sale. However, the volume leader for the 5 Series is the four-door sedan, which is officially debuting today. The 2011 model transitions to a new platform architecture that is shared with the latest
7 Series as well as the upcoming
Rolls-Royce Ghost. The 5 Series sedan gets a 4-inch shorter wheelbase than its siblings, but at 116.9 inches, it still stretches well past its competition. The new
Mercedes-Benz E-Class runs a mere 113.1 inches between its axles and the
Cadillac CTS is 113.4 inches.
From a technical perspective, the new 5 Series picks up much of what can be found in the 7 Series and the Gran Turismo. Read on after the jump to learn more about it.
