THE 2011 BMW 5-Series is the first fully redesigned version of this highly desirable sedan since 2004 revealed at ongoing New York International Auto Show 2010. The sixth-generation 5-Series is slightly larger than the 2004-2010 editions. 2011 BMW 5-Series is more powerful yet more fuel-efficient. Perhaps most important to fine-car lovers everywhere, it’s less alienating in appearance.
The 5 Series will be available with several different engines, and will start appearing in dealerships in the middle of the year. The 2011 550i will be even more powerful, with a 4.4-liter, 402 horsepower, direct-injected, twin-turbo V8 engine. The 550i comes with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission, and will get about 5 percent better gas mileages. A six-speed manual transmission is available.
The front-end of the 2011 BMW 5-Series will likely feature a more upright kidney grille in order to comply with stronger pedestrian protection laws, while the headlights won’t be stretched out like on the current model. The rear roofline and C-pillar connects more fluidly to the trunk lid, which is now devoid of the Bangle-butt that was so universally derided with the E60 model.
