The BMW 5 Series is an executive car manufactured by BMW since 1972. It is the successor of the New Class Sedan and is currently in the seventh generation.
Initially, the 5 Series is only available in sedan body style. The wagon/estate body style (called "Touring") was added in 1991 and the 5-door fastback (called "Gran Turismo") was produced from 2009 to 2017.
The first generation of the 5 Series is powered by a naturally aspirated 4-inline and straight-6 petrol engine. The following generations have been powered by inline-4, straight-6, V8 and V10 engines with natural aspirations and turbocharging. Since 1982, diesel engines have been included in the 5 Series range.
Series 5 is the second best-selling model of BMW after the 3 Series. On January 29, 2008, 5 million Series 5 was produced, a 530d Saloon at Carbon Black Metallic.
The naming convention of BMW's three-digit model begins with the first 5 Series, so the Series 5 is the first BMW model line to use "Series" in the name.
Since E28, all generations of the 5 Series have included the M version, called the BMW M5.
