BMW launched the 5 Series in 1972, replacing its New Class sedans. Over five decades later, it’s still going strong in its eighth generation. The first-generation BMW 5 Series, known as the E12, was produced from 1972 to 1981. The second generation, the E28, was manufactured from 1981 to 1988 and marked the introduction of the first M5 and the first diesel variant. The third-generation E34, produced from 1988 to 1996, gained a reputation for being the first touring wagon equipped with a V8 engine. The fourth-generation E39, manufactured from 1995 to 2004, is widely regarded as the “classic” 5 Series. The fifth-generation E60/E61, produced from 2003 to 2010, received praise for its bold design, introduced the first turbo petrol engine, and featured the iDrive system. The sixth generation, the F10, was manufactured from 2010 to 2017 and introduced the first hybrid model, along with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a V8 twin-turbo engine. The seventh-generation G30 was produced from 2017 to 2023 and featured the CLAR platform, mild-hybrid technology, and the PHEV 530e. The new BMW 5 Series vehicles are officially available to buy new in New Zealand.
