    So is this like the S Line from Audi, or is it just a cosmetic package?

      It’s just options for the regular 5 series range, it’s not the M5

      • D

        Oops, miss read your post. It’s just cosmetic like what the previous model had.

          ok, thanks for that. I just get confused with all this M packages, and then the actual M’s, and then the special edition packages. Either way, they are still the ultimate driving machines.

            and it was a lot easier in the old days when the model numbers still corresponded to the engine size.
            now most of them seem to be the same size with different levels of turbo boost

    The discrepancies may have started during the late E36 and E39 days, when the 323i and 523i had 2.5-litre engines but reverted to 23 to match up with Mercedes’ C230 and E230, respectively. Now, the E90 323i is still 2.5 and the 325i uses a 3-litre.

    The new 5 is really stunning. It will blow away the competition for sure now that it looks the business along with the renowned BMW performance and excitement. The rear, according to some, looks like a bloated 3 Series, but I have yet to see it in the flesh. Bimmers tend to look better if you look at the actual cars.
