BMW’s redesigned 5-Series was a late arrival for the 2017 model year. That’s why the automaker has already announced the 2018 5-Series which sees the lineup expanded with plug-in and performance-oriented models. Look hard. You'll need to focus to spot the differences between the...

BMW’s middle child has always had identity issues. Iterations of the 5er have had their moments, but it’s always worn hand-me-downs from the 7-Series and, quite frankly, we would’ve rather played with the 3-Series on a Saturday afternoon. You can imagine how hard this 2017 BMW...

We haven't even received our first new BMW 5-Series this side of the Atlantic, but already BMW is announcing performance models to whet our appetites. On Saturday, BMW detailed the new 2018 BMW M550i xDrive sedan—presumably the last stop before full-fledged M5 glory. What we know: the M550i...

BMW is in the final stages of development of a new M5 and we hear the car will be unlike any of its predecessors. That’s because the car will be coming with an all-wheel-drive system, which was confirmed by M boss Frank van Meel in 2015. But to appease more traditional buyers that prefer the...

BMW has already unveiled its new 5-Series sedan but work on the Sports Wagon (a Touring in other markets) is still underway. The reveal isn’t far as the latest prototypes are wearing barely any camouflage gear. Unfortunately, the 5-Series Sports Wagon isn’t expected to be offered here...

A redesigned BMW 5-Series is being introduced for the 2017 model year. It goes on sale next spring, initially in 530i and 540i guises. Sportier variants including an M550i M Performance model and an M5 sledgehammer are in the pipeline, but buyers that can’t wait can still inject their cars...

If you've never heard of the BMW Films series, you need to get off the computer and go ask your parents to revoke your Internet privileges. It was in 2001, well before the days of YouTube and online streaming, BMW teamed up with some top talent to produce a series of short films. There were eight...

BMW’s M division no longer builds the M5 Touring but there’s a company with close links to the German automaker that’s happy to build you a wild wagon based on the 5-Series platform. The company is Alpina, which is currently working on a new B5 based on the recently revealed...

This may be our best look yet at the high-performance M5 model joining the rest of the seventh-generation BMW 5-Series range in 2017. Two CAD drawings allegedly revealing the front and rear design of the new M5 were obtained by the The Cammed & Tubbed Podcast. They show a design similar to the...

BMW on Wednesday unveiled a new generation of its 5-Series. Just two powertrain options have been announced for the United States so far, though neither of these will be a V-8. That doesn’t mean the new 5-Series will be without V-8 models. There will be a handful, in fact. The first that we...

BMW on Wednesday took the wraps off its new, seventh-generation 5-Series sedan. The car is lighter, more dynamic and loaded with more tech than its predecessor and should prove a hit when it arrives on the market in the spring of 2017. Production is already underway at BMW’s main plant in...

Mercedes-Benz has been launching hit after hit for the past few years, making it hard for rivals, even perennial luxury leader BMW, to keep up. Mercedes has catapulted to the top of the sales charts thanks to a focus on traditional values such as handsome design, plush interiors and stout...

BMW is gearing up for the start of production of its seventh-generation 5-Series. Already spied extensively in prototype form, the new sedan and wagon adopt the carbon fiber-infused platform of the larger 7-Series as well as that model’s production line at BMW’s plant in Dingolfing...

On May 31, a collective gasp bellowed from every soul that knew me: My 1991 BMW M5 went live on Bring A Trailer. The moment I actually saw it hit the collector car classified website I nearly vomited all over my keyboard. Emails, text messages, and phone calls poured in. Was I dying? Deep in debt?...

The current BMW M5's time is running out as development continues on the new 2018 model, but that isn't stopping the German automaker from churning out a few special editions. The latest is the 2016 BMW M5 Pure Metal Silver Limited Edition model. Limited to only 50 units and only available for the...

BMW’s current 5-Series has been around since the 2011 model year and was given a mid-cycle update for 2014. Now we have a new set of spy shots of a prototype for the next-generation 5-Series, and this one's wearing the least camouflage gear yet. At present, we're expecting the car on the...
