Quote The current E60 series 5-Series sedan was launched in 2003, with the Touring and M5 sedan following in 2004. Since then, the company has revised the engine line-up several times. Last November, it also announced a long-wheelbase version of the sedan that will be built exclusively in China from later this quarter.

The most obvious change for the 5-Series is to the frontal styling. The headlamps and indicator units now have clear filters while the grille sits flush with the bumper. The air duct in the front valance has also been redesigned, while at the side the sill has an additional contour line. At the rear, there are new LED tail-lights.

Inside, the changes are minor. The door panels have been redesigned, with the window switches now integrated into the horizontal armrests. In common with other recently launched BMWs, drivers now have eight freely programmable 'favourite' buttons on the dashboard enabling them to more easily access their most frequently used features such as one-touch navigation destination input, or telephone calls.
