Vehicle Summary

BMW redesigned its 5 Series midsize sedan for 2004 by giving it slightly larger dimensions and a fresh look. Three high-tech versions of this model are available, with the six-cylinder 525 occupying the lower end of the price spectrum. For 2006, a larger, more powerful six-cylinder powers the 525, which adds a new all-wheel-drive edition.  Read more
