For the first time, the BMW 5-Series E39 car was represented by the public back in 1989. And only after 6 years, the new five has become available on automotive market. Its presentation took place at the end of 1995 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

She is the fourth generation. The prefix "E" took its beginning from the German word, which is translated into our language, as "expansion", "Evolution", "Process". These are the most accurate epithets that could be described in the development of Bavarian designers.

It is worth noting that in the fourth modification, the shortcomings and errors of the model of the previous generation were taken into account, which was based on the body. Special attention, engineers paid the suspension, whose characteristics have improved significantly.

Specifications

For all the production time, the whole 7 were involved power aggregates.

Two gasoline engines were considered the youngest, with a volume of 2 l, which produced the capacity of 150 horsepower. The only difference was between them that the maximum speed of one was 220 km / h, and the other is 212 km / h.

The junior diesel version could boast of 2 liters, issuing 136 horsepower. Reached the limit speed of 206 km / h.

The senior diesel engine had a volume of 2.5 liters, 143 horsepower could produce, and without any problems accelerated to 211 km / h.

The most powerful is the power unit of the M-series, the volume of 4.5 liters, outstanding over 285 "horses", and boasts limit speed 250 km / h.

Innovation of the Fourth Generation BMW 5-Series E39

The fifth model BMW fourth generation has become the first, in which a lightweight suspension was used. Bavarian designers managed to reduce the EU car by almost 40%. Such a fantastic result was achieved through the use of aluminum, whose share in body manufacturing material is very significant.

Lightweight suspension has improved the level of smoothness and made ride more comfortable.

It is worth noting that aluminum was also used in some problem places Body, which were previously susceptible to corrosion. Therefore, it is not surprising that the car successfully opposes Rust.

Also, it is impossible to forget that exhaust system It is largely made of stainless steel, which contributes to a longer period of its uninterrupted ministry.

Autoloaders appreciated a new, significantly improved noise insulation system, which was considered one of the best at that time. The main secret of her success was the fact that double glasses were used in the cabin, which blocked external noises.

Equipment BMW 5-Series E39

The base model of sedans is considered to be 520i. She could boast a two-liter engine capable of producing 148 horsepower. At the same time, fuel consumption in the mixed mode was 9 liters per 100 kilometers of the way.

1997 was marked by the fact that the developers were released a wagon. It was equipped with the same engine and its consumption was 13 liters in the city, and 7 liters on the highway.

The list of basic equipment includes:

• climate control system;
• multifunctional steering wheel;
• cruise control;
• Bluetooth headset;
• heated mirrors.

Additionally, it was possible to order a function of heating the steering wheel.

It is worth noting that the steering wheel contained all the necessary buttons, which greatly simplified the control process.

Each driver can individually adjust the position of the steering wheel within two planes, which, at that time, was considered to be very rare.

The front row of seats is equipped with regulators. Each passenger has the ability to configure the position of the chair. The function "BMW's broken back, which made it possible to adjust the lower and upper part of the seat back separately.

The highlight is considered the outdoor accelerator pedal. Such a decision was very pleased with car enthusiasts, however, many did not like the fact that she is too tough.

Crash tests organized by the European independent NCAP organization have demonstrated a good security system. The car was awarded the estimates of "4 stars", which can be called a good result.

The role of the reverse seats is performed by a comfortable sofa, which can accommodate three people. However, the average passenger will feel some inconvenience, because he will have a large transmission tunnel under his feet.

Capacity luggage compartment The sedan is 460 liters, and the station wagon is 410 liters.

Engines BMW 5-series E39

In all power units, the blocks were made of aluminum. Bavarian engineers argued that thanks to the new technology, their engines would not break. In confirmation of this, the cylinders inside the motor were covered with Nicksel, which was to significantly increase the service life of the engine. However, it soon became clear that such a coating is quickly wearing, and as an alternative, cast iron sleeves for cylinders began to use.

At the very beginning of production, the car was equipped with three petrol aggregates And one diesel. It is 520i, 523i, 528i and 525tds.

The entire line of gasoline engines is equipped with six-cylinder blocks. The younger gasoline unit produces power in 150 horsepower, and the oldest is 193 horsepower.

The diesel version issues 143 "horses".

In 1998, the company began production of the most famous model - BMW 5-Series E39 M5. As a power unit, an eight-cylinder V-shaped motor was used for a new modification. M5 was considered the first sedan whose engine could produce as much as 400 "horses". Inspired and its volume, which was 5 liters.

It is worth noting that the M5 began to use new system DV, which is responsible for controlling 2 camshafts.

Also changed the fuel supply system, which contributes to more economical driving.

Restyling

Starting from 1999, the engineers of the BMW company held several five restyings. It is worth noting that appearance Practically did not change. Mostly modernization concerned the power units and "filling". All six-cylinder engines from that time are equipped with two camshafts. Plus, then the range of diesel engines increased, to which M5 joined, with the CR injection system. Bosch company was engaged in the development of the system of this injection.

The year 2000 was marked by the fact that it was then that the most large-scale restyling was held. This time, the changes touched the appearance, and three new engines were added. The renewed sedan acquired new overall lights, upgraded with a falseradiator grille and a new bumper.

Also, since 2000, the M54 series engines began to install, which made it possible to significantly increase the power and functionality of the aggregates.

A little later, another modification appeared - 520d, which was equipped with a two-liter diesel engine, with a capacity of 136 horsepower. The acceleration time from scratch is up to one hundred less than 11 s.

The fourth-generation model was produced until 2003, and the M5 modification was until 2004.

For the fifth generation already used the Body E60. However, according to AUTOBILD's authoritative German automobile publication, it is the most successful sedan in the entire history of the automotive industry.

At the moment, it is quite difficult to acquire a high-quality BMW 5-series E39. And if there is such an opportunity, it is desirable to do this in Germany or in an extreme case in Poland. An excellent is the car that has no more than two owners, and its cost is not lower than $ 5,000.

Test drives BMW 5 Series generation F10_F11 REST.

For many, the choice of car from the business class and above began with a visit dealer centers "Large German Troika" and in most cases on it ended. Of course, there are still Lexus, Kia Quoris is raving to the Russian market, but this does not cancel the fact that Europe still fills in the "business" and "representative" segments.

The first generation of the famous 5th series of the Bavarian Concern (the factory index of the E12 body) debuted in September 1972. The sedan of the middle class of classical layout with characteristic nostrils of the radiator facing was distinguished by a large margin of strength and reliability.

Cars first equipped with only four-cylinder M10 engines with a working volume of 2.0 l with a capacity of 115 hp with carburetor and 130 hp from mechanical system Kugelfischer fuel injection, the highlight of which was that the fuel pump was applied there high pressure (TNVD), as in a diesel. These were models 520 and 520i. A year later, a model 525 was added with a 2.5-liter six-cylinder engine (MZO) with a capacity of 145 hp. With a slightly more convex shape of the hood. Since June 1974, an economical model 518 went with an M10 engine with a working volume of 1.8 liters with a capacity of 90 hp (She was consistently upgraded in 1975 and 1980).

In July 1976, the 5th model was modernized for the first time: more than 40 parts were changed in the design and design, including branded nostrils were shifted higher, the hood acquired a characteristic subtenuation, as if a shift on the nostrils, in the roof - hatch that could be Raise in the back. Rear lights of enlarged shape and new steering wheel. As well as a modern round air filter with a replaceable element and a gas tank ventilation, the neck of which was moved to the right wing.

The most powerful model 528 with a 2.7-liter six-cylinder carburetor engine MZO with a capacity of 170 hp Equipped with ventilated disk brakes. Increased power engine: "520th" - up to 115 hp, "525th" - up to 150 hp, and a new 6-cylinder carburetor power unit M20 with a capacity of 122 liters began to be installed on the model 520 .from. With a camshaft-driven drive, model 528 received an L-Jetronic injection system, which made it possible to increase power up to 177 hp, and in addition, the location of the rear-view mirror was changed (it was transferred to the front triangle of the driver's door window). In 1978, the front brake pad wear indicator appeared on all models and the new submitted switch. The power model 528 brought to 184 hp

In July 1981, the 5th series was deeply upgraded (new index). The body design was noticeably changed - it became more dynamic, the decoration was less chromium, the internal round headlights were reduced, and the rear lights, on the contrary, increased. Therefore, this model and in Russia, and in Germany are called transitional. The bumpers applied different designs (later on high-speed M5 models, the designs of the integral type with developed spoilers and dyed body color) appeared. Total weight depending on the model and additional equipment decreased by 60-90 kg.

The interior of the cabin has been reworked yet - for the first time, the famous dashboard unfolded to the driver with a dense layout of all controls, which looks almost modern and after two decades. Anatomical seats acquired a characteristic German rigidity and excellent side support. For increase passive security The fuel tank was located in front of the rear axle. Significantly improved controllability, applying a similar 7th series (E23) a two-stroke design front Bridge With inclined front shissor racks With a small positive shoulder running in. The new generation of the two-row bearings of the front wheels has reduced the amount of maintenance. The reliability of the brakes increased due to the larger diameter and floating design of calipers. At high-speed (215 km / h) Models 528i installed an additional brake force regulator and the level of control over the level of all technical fluids, as well as the famous system for determining the service life. The engines were equipped with improved ignition systems and fuel injection systems with which all 6-cylinder engines (M20 / 30) began to equip, and 2.0-liter M20 began to develop 125 hp.

In March 1983, the model 525E for the North American market (more developed bumpers were distinguished) installed a 6-cylinder M20 engine with a working volume of 2.7 liters with a capacity of 129 hp. With the Motronic injection system, and in a year it was equipped with a catalytic neutralizer. At the same time, in 1984, the next wave of engine modernization was followed: so, the 1.8-liter engine M10 was equipped with a le-jetronic injection, due to which the power model 518i increased to 105 hp; A new 3,5-liter MZO engine was appeared in 218 hp, which in an embodiment with a catalytic neutralizer developed only 185 hp. (due to a reduced degree of compression), and in forced for sport model M5 - up to 286 hp At 6500 1 / min and 340 nm at 4500 rpm, which at that time was one of the highest results for engines of ordinary cars.

The maximum speed reached 245 km / h. Back in September 1983, the economical model 524TD (9.0 l / 100 km) with a Turbodiesel MZO with a capacity of 115 hp, which two years later completed the less expensive, but a more reliable 86-strong atmospheric diesel engine on the model 524O.

BMW cars of the 5th series of this generation - one of the most popular imported cars In the domestic market, due to their strength, reliability of engines, a comfortable salon (after 1981), good dynamic qualities and design studies by most small auto repair shops throughout the country. Fastening the front wings and other elements of the front of the bolt on the bolts significantly facilitates repairs. An important factor is the developed market of spare parts, because the price of many of them has recently been completely able to compare with the cost of similar spare parts for domestic models.

In January 1988, the 3rd generation of 5 series E34 came to replace the E28, which had a completely new design, however, retaining traditional features of the rear-wheel-water four-door five-seater BMW sedans.

Cars new generation Steel milestone in the history of the company from Munich. The point is not even in appearance (wheelbase 2760 mm; length 4720, width 1750, height 1410 mm; Pitch in front 1465, rear - 1485 mm). Excellent build quality, finishes, driving comfort due to the excellent adjustment of the running part, exemplary heating and ventilation systems, immaculate interior design, high dynamic characteristics, stable straight boss, effective brakes, high level of active and passive security - everything says about high level designers who brought bMW. The number of world leaders. The sedans of the 5th series (E34 body) for the quality of assembly and comfortably you can put one step with the luxurious BMW of the 7th series, in something higher than the products of the eternal competitor from Stuttgart - Mercedes-Benz concern.

The spacious salon is more oriented for the convenience of the driver: a heavy blackboard panel, glowing in the dark orange backlight, deployed in its direction, five electric drivers of the driver's seat, a spacious landing on the front seats, as well as excellent ergonomics of controls - all necessary driver The levers and levers are located where they expect, and the Branca is both in shape and, as well as the possibility of adjusting the angle of inclination itself asking in hand.

Excellent visibility is limited only from behind - when parking needs to be careful. Model soft and silent suspension does not cause unpleasant sensations from passengers with any quality of the road. Noiselessness when driving - branded BMW cars. Silent, even with intensive exploitation, decoration of the cabin (except that the skin of the seats creates slightly), the engine sounds muffled even on high revs. The luggage compartment of the volume of 460 liters, in the lid of which is neatly placed quite full set Tool - For many in those years, such a complete staff package has become a surprise. But all other additions (except, of course, ABS firm BOSCH and airbags for the driver) The company offers only in options.

According to the controllability, this rear-wheel drive car (due to the complex multi-stage rear suspension) behaves almost as an editorial (i.e., smoothly goes to a larger turning radius), and only with a sharp maneuvering at a very high speed, an excessively active driver can break the rear axis in the classic drift . All-wheel drive version 525IX (from September 1991) is even more active: it is stable and cannot only be dried, but also a sharp slip of the wheels on dry asphalt (thanks to the anti-test system), and even more so does not allow the car to sit down in the village road . That's just dangerous (behind the rear axle) 80-liter fuel tank. Steering Hydrausselter Develops full power When maneuvering, and with increasing speed reduces its action to increase the accuracy of feedback. Brakes are simply exemplary - with a powerful slowdown, ideal informative, gently and precisely working ABS.

The "fifth" series has become the most representative of the set of engines in the company's production program, which has created a wide range of high-quality row six-cylinder gasoline power units for it: 2.0 l, 129 hp, 195/65 HR15 tires (model 520i) - frankly weak, but an economical option (if not unscrew the motor); 2.5 l, 170 hp (525i); 3.0 L, 188 hp, tires 205/65 VR15 (530i) and 3.4 l, 211 hp, tires 205/65 VR15 (535i). They are aggregated with automatic 4-range and 5-speed manual transmissions. In March 1988, economical (9.3 l / 100 km in the city) of the Sedany 524TD with a turbodiesel of 115 hp. Top-Fashionedan M5 with an engine with a working volume of 3.5 liters (315 hp) and increased to 90 L. fuel tank Appeared in January 1989 and immediately won popularity in the circles of lovers to "roll with the breeze". Manufactured by a mechanical five-speed gearbox, anti-test system and tires of dimensions 235/45 ZR17 in front and 255/40 ZR17 from behind, it became the most dynamic in its class (overclocking until hundreds for 6.3 s, maximum speed Firm limited 250 km / h). In April 1992, this engine was replaced by a more powerful 3.8-liter 327-strong, and in a month its 340-strong version of M5 appeared. Emki is distinguished by a large appetite in the conditions of urban movement (up to 18 l / 100 km), and when buying it is recommended to carefully check the condition and wear of the complex customizable rigid suspension and forced engines. In the serial configuration, all machines equipped brake amplifiers. In May 1990, the release of sedans 520i 24V, 525i 24V with 24-valve cylinder heads, which made it possible to shoot 150 and 192 hp.

In November 1991, in car dealerships appeared inexpensive sedans 518i with a plug-in 115-strong engine (albeit not very outstanding dynamics), intended mainly for the Eastern European market. And from January 1992 full swing Selling elegant universal Touring 520i and 525i, which, however, did not have a worthy capacity, but they kept all the best ride quality sedans, as well as versions with the BMW 525IX Touring system. The volume of the luggage compartment at five rides was 460 liters, and with two - 1450 l, which was not high (slightly more than in the VAZ-2104). For real off-road, this car is not suitable, but as a mountain and winter vehicle quite suitable.

From October 1992, sedans and station wagons 530i (218 hp) and a 286-strong 540i (instead of 535i), equipped with low-noise high-tech V8 engines, as well as M5 Touring were accepted. Vyanwar of the 1993th 115-strong 2.4-liter turbodiesel (524TD) was replaced by a 2.5-liter 143-strong turbodiesel with direct fuel injection (525TD), aggregated with automatic and mechanical KP.

In November 1995, the production of all versions of the BMW of the 5th Series (E34) turned, since the modern generation model E39 came to replace.

The debut of the new, already fourth, generation of cars BMW of the 5th series Yez9 took place in September 1995 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Aggressive, assertive style of 5-ki deserved a lot of flattering reviews on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The front headlights hidden under narrow fairings, the elegant rear part with a powerful counter and, of course, branded "nostrils" of a falseradiator lattice talk about the nature of the car. The body has become a bit more - by 55 mm in length, 23 in height and 49 in width, which, together with an increase in the wheelbase by 70 mm, provided it shorter skes. Plus, the body significantly added in rigidity, it increased not only safety, but also improved handling. Nevertheless, he did not become harder, although he remained steel. Aluminum is widely implemented in the suspension design. From it, guide levers are made, steering thrust, stamped subframes of the front and rear suspension, supports of shock absorption racks. In addition, the outer tubes of shock absorbers undergoes "aluminization" brake caliper and of course, wheel disks. The unsavory mass of the suspension decreased by 36% and, as a result, improved work and comfort. The use of aluminum allows not only to reduce the mass of the car for about a third, but also reuse the materials that served the machine. The design of the rear suspension, with the "sweeping" effect of the rear wheels, brings to perfection the magnificent behavior of the car on the road.

Car salon is designed in traditional style. The driver's seat is a sample of ergonomics. The comfort of passengers in the back seat contributes to an increase in the wheelbase by 70 mm.

Since the spring of 1997, the production program supplemented new Universal Touring, which is 90 mm longer and 100 kg is heavier sedan. It has a good capacity and retains excellent rolling quality sedan. The gamma engines for the universal is similar to the sedan. The list of standard equipment was supplemented with two side airbags.

When creating a cargo-passenger version of the car, perhaps more attention was paid to the preservation of dynamic characteristics and individuality appearance. 5-ka Touring is one of the few examples of European universal, where the trunk does not look "the incoming", but is a harmonious part of the car. The pursuit of the style somewhat worsened the parameters of the luggage compartment - the volume of it is only 410 liters against 600 liters of a competitor, Mercedesa-Class. The car is equipped with both mechanical and automatic checkpoint.

BMW 540i Touring is considered the most high-speed serial planet versatile.

At the end of 1997, armored in class 540i Protection appeared in class. It is able to withstand small arms (caliber up to 0.44) and grenade explosions. All this was possible due to the armor of aramid and the built-in bulletproof glasses. In general, for 1998 released at least 500 (the exact figure is kept secret) of such cars at a price of 178400 DM.

A year later, in September 1998, the production of the high-speed model M5 resumed. Forced 5-liter V8 engine, structurally similar to a serial 4,4-liter unit, equipped with a Double-Vanos system and eight individual throttle valves. For the first time on serial model BMW Engine power reached 400 hp, and dynamic qualities have become even better than M3 - 5.3 s to 100 km / h. M5 is equipped with only 6-speed RCPP.

In 1999, externally cars did not change, but under the hoods there were big changes: 6-cylinder engines received control of both camshafts by the Double-Vanos system, 8-cylinder - Vanos system for intake valves and two-stage catalytic exhaust gases, which allowed the requirements of EURO 4 2005. In addition to reducing exhaust toxicity, an increase in torque has been reached and fuel efficiency increased.

Another novelty is a 184-strong diesel engine with an undivided combustion chamber, a CommonRail injection system, turbocharging and intermediate air cooling on the 530D model. The car is able to develop 225 km / h and spending less than 6 l / 100 km in a standard country cycle. Despite the complete superiority of the new diesel engine, the production of old vortex camera (525TDS) continued for some time.

In early 2000 there was an inexpensive 520D with a 2-liter 4-cylinder diesel engine of direct injection, first tested on Troika 320D. Its power (136 hp) is enough for even 1.6-ton 5-ku Touring to overclock up to 100 km / h in 10.9 s. Compared to gasoline 520i Touring, the average fuel consumption of the novelty is reduced by about a third.

The more powerful 525D replaced the 525TDS predecessor with a dyeshecmerary 143-strong diesel engine. The new 2,5-liter 6-cylinder diesel of the direct injection with turbocharging is equipped with a COMMON Rail fuel supply system and develops 163 hp.

Serial configurations include a whole "bouquet" of active safety systems: anti-lock brake system, ASC + T (automatic control of stability with a traction controller), DSC III (system of dynamic stabilization of motion) and DBC (dynamic stabilization of the distribution of braking forces). On request, such "options" such as the pneumatic resistant rear suspension, full "electropacle" with memory for the installation of a driver's seat, steering wheel and rear-view mirrors, double side glass, Tire air pressure control system (RDC), steering wheel heated, automatic climatic installation with the control of the contamination of the outer air (AUC) and others. In 2000, appeared and driving seat The so-called active type, which was previously offered only on the machines of the 7th series.

In the autumn of 2000, the first modernization of the models of the 5th series took place. Externally, the updated "five" is easily recognizable by transparent-block-Faras round yellow pointers of turns and a new front spoiler with round fogy Farams. However, the main changes are hidden inside - here there are three new M54 engines for models 520i, 525i and 530i. All of them are row, 6-cylinder, with Double-Vanos systems and with a variable inlet lifting valves. The first engine for 520i, created on the basis of the old 2-liter unit. The increase in the stroke of the piston from 66 to 72 mm made it possible to increase the working volume from 1991 to 2171 cm3 and the maximum power from 150 to 170 hp at 6250 rpm. The second engine is the former 2,5-liter model of model 523i, but in the upgraded version there is no longer 170, and 192 hp (The index 523i was replaced by the correct 525i). The third engine for 530i, for the first time, in mid-2000, appeared on the 3rd series models - this is a 3-liter engine with an impressive power in 231 hp.

In 2003 in the 5th bMW series There were long-awaited changes, BMW E39 changed in his new post model BMW. E60. The car was represented in two body versions: first the sedan appeared, and the next year the model was supplemented by the version of the Universal. In the "five", as in the BMW, the seventh series decided to make each body to assign a separate label, so the sedan received the name of the BMW E60, and the universal began to be called BMW E61.

The design was developed by Chris Bangle (Chris Bangle) and Adrian Van Hoydonk. The exterior of the 5 series received captured, expressive lines and dynamic shapes. Externally new model Reminds the predecessor very remotely: a rounded front of the front, embarrassed from the sides of the hood and the narrow headlights coming on the sidewalls. Inside each headlight - two round items: one with a built-in xenon spotlight (it will turn over the front wheel behind the front wheels, helping it better to illuminate the devices), the second - with the usual "halogen". Both are surrounded by beautifully glowing in the dark with rims, as well as on the post-rounding previous "five." And in the most corners of the heads, five orange LEDs are mounted - these are side "dimensions". On the rear bumper strips of reflectors-catima.

Another feature of the new car - it looks compacting the previous "five", although actually larger and more good. The wheelbase increased by 58 mm, the overall length is 66 mm. The car has become much more comfortable and spacious. The characteristic minus of previous generations is the lack of a place for feet and knees of the rear passengers, went into the past. Thanks to an enlarged wheelbase, the E60 model rear passengers will be very comfortable. The volume of the trunk is increased by 60 liters. In addition, now the "five" can be equipped with a folding back rear seat And the hatch for transporting skis.

Salon geometric and angular. A wide "chamfer" on the panel, energetic vertical strokes of door handles covered with a wooden veneer, flashing "instrument" and "screen" visors on each other. Surprising a three-spoke steering wheel - it seems too sporting for a business class machine, but the rim is thinner than on the previous "five". Orange illumination of devices with clearly defined "aluminum" rims in the dark looks spectacularly great.

For a surcharge of speedometer, it will be possible to follow, practically without a look from the road, - for the new "five" has been developed a projector of information on windshield. Orange figures, symbols and warning inscriptions as if soaring in the air above the hood. And they do not interfere at all follow road situationBut perfectly visible to the driver - and only to him one, because under a different angle, the image simply disappears. Chairs expensive versions Have convenient headrests, a variable side support and a pillow with a built-in massager.

On the tunnel between the seats there is a large ribbed handcoat idrive. Directions of moving the controller are only four - instead of eight at the "seven". Next to the controller, a large MENU key appeared - the return function to the previous "window". The screen itself is secret. It is made on the so-called transflective technology: its basis reflects the incident light and uses it to improve the brightness of the picture. Moreover, the degree of illumination and reflection of the incident light changes from signals from a special light sensor. And the display has heated - so as not to "brake" under negative temperatures.

Climate control on the "five" is now watching not only behind the temperature, but also behind the humidity of the air in the cabin. The most expensive audio system is with the Logic7 digital processor and with eleven speakers. For the rear passengers there are nests for headphones and remote control "Music".

Motors are the strongest and most bright detail of all BMW cars. It is not surprising that for the "five" there are many of them. Opens motor ruler 163-Strong gasoline motor working capacity of 2 liters. The bulk of the engines was borrowed from E39. For 2003, the Gamme "Five" also listed: 520i (2.2 - 170l.s.), 525i (2.5 - 192l.s.), 530i (3.0 - 231l.s.), 530d (3.0 - 218 hp ) And on top was 545i (4.4. - 333l.s.). Engines are aggregated with a 6-speed mechanical or automatic transmission. In 2005, 2 new motors appeared, both diesel 525d (2.5 l / 177l.) And 535d (3.5 l / 272l.), Last with turbocharging.

The new "five" is the ideal "Driver" weaving on the axes - fifty-fifty. For such a mass distribution, it was necessary to significantly alleviate the front of the car. And to achieve this, in Munich went to an unprecedented step. The car body was performed on the new technology. Its front part is made of aluminum, and the rear of the steel. The joints of the joint of different metals were connected by non-welded seam, but a ripping method, since these metals between themselves "are not friends". Also to relieve weight, front and rear suspension Made of aluminum. McPherson in front, and "multi-dimensional" rear.

"PRESS steering You can order in several options. Basic equipment is simply "Reika" with a variable step and with a hydraulic agent, which allows you to rotate the steering wheel on smaller angles when parking, but in the "okolonulous" zone saves the normal bearing sensitivity. The next step is a SERVOTRONIC hydraulic switch, which, depending on the speed, changes the force on the steering wheel. And the AFS system (planetary transmission with the electric motor) will add here active Governance a gear ratio (in addition to the variable step of the teeth rail). The same applies to the suspension - "in the base" BMW is equipped with conventional passive stabilizers, but the active stabilizers of Dynamic Drive can be ordered for surcharge (in the incision of the stabilizer turns on the powerful and high-speed hydraulic engine, which via the computer spinning the stabilizory "halves" and reduces the roll).

In 2007, an updated BMW E60 was released. In the restyled version, a fairly significant part of the car was faced with a cosmetic change. The model received a new front bumper, which betrayed the car more aggressive look, small changes received the optics of the car, both the front and rear.

Submitted changes and interior of the car. The interior of the restyling "five" received new finish materials, as well as a new gear control lever. The launches on all models were modified or replaced with new versions. Family engines BMW. The 5 series was expanded to six gasoline and four diesel engines - 170 liters. from. For BMW 520i to 367 liters. from. For BMW 550i.

Since 2007, all versions of the BMW 5 series have standardly equipped with a set of BMW EfficientDynamics family techniques. Innovations such as braking energy recovery technology, gear shift indicator, active air damper control and connection technology or disable auxiliary mechanisms depending on the current conditions, provided for all models unsurpassed in this class the dynamism and efficiency ratio.

In 2008, the BMW 535i E60 model was released, which received only the body sedan, as well as the all-wheel drive version - 535xi, which was also performed in the version "Universal".

In January 2008, at the BMW plant in the German city, Dingolfing celebrated a truly impressive event - since 1973, five million BMW 5 series cars were produced at the factory.

Sedan has grown a little. Compared to the BMW E60 predecessor, the length of the new five increased by 58 mm to 4899 mm, the width is 14 mm to 1860 mm, and the height of the contrary - it became below 18 mm and is 1464 mm. The wheel base is 2968 mm. The car is based on a shortened new platform sedana BMW. 7-series. Costors of the car, presenting a novelty, endowed it with four concise epithets: elegant, safe, dynamic and successful. The BMW 5-series 2010 returned strict, classic line for the line. Designer model became Adrian Van Hoydonk.

Interior in the process of facelifting cardinal changes not undergone. The cabin has updated the color schemes for design. Storage pockets and cup holders have become more, and as an option function dashboard Will be able to perform a 10.25-inch TFT display. Depending on the mode of operation of electronics, the combination of instruments may vary on it. For example, when activating the sports mode, a typical speedometer changes to digital, and the selected gear is shown inside the tachometer.

IDRIVE system received new version Firmware 4.2. For an additional fee, the buyer of the updated "five" will receive the control joystick multimedia system iDrive, the surface of which will be sensory. Using this option, the driver will be able to enter the desired address to the navigator, prescribing the letters alternate on the surface.

Volume of trunk updated sedan It is 520 liters, the wagon is 560 liters. At the same time, in the latter case, the useful space can be increased to 1670 liters due to the rear sofa in the ratio of 40:20:40.

The line of diesel engines "Five" will also include a pair of "fours" with a capacity of 184 and 218 horsepower and three six-cylinder engines. For version 530d, a 258-strong unit is prepared, for 535D - 313-strong, and for M550D - 381-strong. The last engine allows the sedan to type the first "hundred" in 4.7 seconds after the start, the universal - after 4.9 seconds. It is noteworthy that from now on, the diesel version of 520d can be ordered with a full XDrive brand system - earlier such a version was offered exclusively with the rear wheel drive.

Updated Bavarians and top engine. Now the most powerful 4,4-liter V8 family develops 450 hp In version 550i, and on the sportsman M5, its returns with the help of optional packages can be increased to 575 hp. In BMW, they declare that the update touched not only these engines - the remaining motors have become more economical. Buyers are also available in a row "six" with a capacity of 306 horsepower. This motor is installed on a modification with an index 535i. The most weak gasoline engines were four-cylinder versions of version 528i and 520i.

As an option for the "five", a four-wheel drive is available, the Dynamic Damper Control system, automatically changing the stiffness of the shock absorbers, depending on the quality of the road surface and driving style, as well as a complete chassis and a lowered M-suspension. The most interesting option is fully automatic parking assistant. Thanks to the electronics, the parking assistant monitors not only over the steering, but above the gas pedals and brakes. Another additional possibility is the function of finding a free parking space.

The BMW Fifth Series sedan began to release in 1972. This model wore the E12 factory index and it was from it that the three-digit number was started with the modifications, in which the first digit indicated the number of the series. The car was equipped with row four-cylinder and six-cylinder motors of 1.8, 2.0, 2.5 and 2.8 (90-184 liters.) The most powerful were versions prepared by the BMW Motorsport GmbH branch - with engines 3.0, 3.3 and 3.5 , developing 180-218 forces.

In Germany, the first "five" stopped produced in 1981, and in South Africa, its assembly continued until 1984. A total of 699 thousand such cars were made.

2 generation (E28), 1981-1988

The second generation of the car was the development of the previous version, nor externally, neither the machine did not differ from the predecessor. The only four-cylinder engine was a 1.8-liter unit with a capacity of 90-105 liters. from. On the basic version of the BMW 518.

In 1985 he made his debut bMW modification M535i (it is BMW 535i in some markets) with a motor 3.4 with a capacity of 185-218 liters. s., body kit, sport seats and steering wheel. Then the release of the "charged" sedan began.

The production of "fives" with the factory index E28 continued until 1987. In total, 722 thousand cars were released.

3 generation (E34), 1987-1996

The third generation sedan, the release of which began at the plant in the German Dingolfing in 1987, became a completely new machine - more comfortable, dynamic, safe, equipped with modern for those years options. In 1991, a universal appeared in the model row, as well as the All-wheel drive version of the BMW 525IX.

In addition to four-cylinder and six-cylinder gasoline engines 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 with a capacity of 113-211 forces, the "five" received new V-shaped "eights" with a volume of 3.0 and 4.0 liters, developing 218 and 286 liters. from. respectively.

The next version of the "fives", debuting in 1995, had versions with cuzov sedan and wagon. In 1999, the assembly of machines for the Russian market began at the Kaliningrad "Avtotor". In 2000, the car survived a small restyling and received an updated gamut of power units.

The fifth series with an E39 index has lost finally four-cylinder gasoline engines. It was installed on it in series "six" 2.0, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8 and 3.0 (150-231 liters.), As well as V8 engines with a volume of 3.5 and 4.4 liters, developing 235-286 forces. It was in the model range and "charged" version of the BMW M5. Four- and six-cylinder turbo diesel engines 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 developed 115-193 liters. from.

In just 2004, 1.47 million sedans and universal were released.

5 generation (E60 / E61), 2003-2010

The "five" appeared in 2003 with the E60 index appeared externally differed from predecessors. The car again became a little larger and more spacious inside. On the technical part, there were also many innovations. For the first time in a long time, the all-wheel drive version appeared in the model range, the gasoline turbo engine was included in the range of power units, and active steering, active stabilizers appeared in the list of options transverse stability. All the front of the car and the parts of the suspension were made of aluminum.

The basic version of the BMW fifth series again had a four-cylinder engine (2.0 liters, 170 liters.) The remaining versions were equipped with row "six" 2.2, 2.5, 3.0 (three-liter - including turbocharging) and V8 engines of 4.0 and 4.4 liters with a capacity of 170 to 333 liters. from. The flagship of the model range, not counting the "charged", was the BMW 550i with the 4,8-liter "eight", developing 367 forces. Turbodiesel rails had a volume of 2.0-3.0 liters and power from 163 to 286 liters. from.

In 2007, the "five" slightly updated appearance and interior. In this form of sedans and universals were produced until 2010, 1.4 million cars were released. Their assembly was carried out at the factories in Germany, Russia, India, Mexico.

Each generation acquires modern appearance, technologically corresponding to its time. In addition, cars are becoming a bit longer and wider from the previous generation. On numerous test drives and bMW reviews 5 series awarded almost only praise, and from the point of view of dynamics, management and comfort - is one of the best in its class.

Starting from the 5th series, a new designation of BMW was introduced, instead of 4-digit numbers, the car model is denoted by three-digit, for example 525, where:

• 5 - represents the number of the series;
• 25 - the volume of the engine in decilters;
  Additional letters or words added to the end of the three-digit number are used to determine the type of engine (I - gasoline, D - diesel, E - hybrid);

Prices 2020.

The cost of "fives" as it is supposed to be a premium business class at the appropriate level. The table below shows the price for basic complete set BMW 5 series for June 2017:

Engines

In the entire history of production, BMW 5 was completed with an extensive amount of motors of 1.8 to 4.8 liters. The first three generations producer equipped mainly by gasoline engines, which in the best emphasize the character of the "Bavarian" sedans, and only starting with the 39th body a model range was expanded with diesel modifications. In the company, this is explained by the fact that the first diesel engines were not able to fully reveal the potential of the BMW car.

More modern BMW 5 series are equipped with hybrid power installationwhich impresses not only productivity, but also efficiency. Most motors are quite reliable, but there are also those that require special attention and quality service, as a rule, these are engines N Series.

BMW E12

BMW E12 - The first generation of the 5-series released since 1972 has become the best alternative to Mercedes W114 / W115. And although in 1981, sedans were replaced by BMW E28, in South Africa, cars continued until 1984. The body design was created under the guidance of the marriage field based on the BMW 2002Ti Garmisch from the BERTONE Studio.

As a representative new SeriesThe sedan had a good success and became a worthy replacement for the Luxury Sedana BMW "New Class". Over the entire period, 699,094 units of cars were released. The cost of the basic version was about 14,500 German brands.

Engines

BMW E28 received a number of innovations not only on the suspension, in the exterior and interior, but also in the procession space. All 6-cylinder engines (520i, 525e, 535i, M535i) were equipped with injector system And Bosch Motronic digital control, all other 5 series models were equipped with L- and LE-Jetronic.

BMW E34

The third generation of the 5th series was launched into mass production in January 1988. The car of business class at one time was considered one of the most elegant and reliable sedans, thanks to which the BMW 5 series became very progressive and brought a significant increase in reputation.

The car had traditional rear drive, completed modern technologies And got the toughest body. In 1991, the first official station wagon 5 series was presented at IAA. As a result, BMW E34 got a great success on the market and a total of 1,331,056 copies were released, thereby installing a new sales record.

To say that this body is not popular today - stupid! BMW E34 is a legend with which the majority has started, so to speak "love" to the top five, and in general bMW brand generally.

The first available models were 6-cylinder 12-valve 520i and 525i, and more powerful 530i and 535i. E34 Body, became the first in the fifth series, which was equipped with fully drive from electronically control With variable power distribution between front and rear wheels, and is available only for 525ix in a sedan bodies and a wagon. The production of 34-ki was completed in 1995, after which it was replaced by at least the legendary E39th body.

Engines

As well as predecessor, model a series of BMW E34 "began" with basic BMW 518 with a gasoline 4-cylinder 1.8-liter engine. The top version was equipped, for the first time for the 5-series Motor V8 of 4.0 liters.

Also, a novelty, or rather an experiment was the factory version of gasoline / gas - 518G. The car was available only in the body of Touring and produced in small quantities, as extremely popular this model did not use.

Separately, I also wanted to note the 525TDS diesel, which, thanks to the 143-strong motor, was the fastest diesel engine in the world.

BMW E39

In the second half of 1995, the new, fourth generation of the 5th series was presented at the IAA - BMW E39, and unlike the predecessor, the new 5 series had even greater success not only from a commercial point of view. The Body E39 acquired softer lines to give it dynamism, sportiness and elegance, and due to the widespread use of aluminum in the design, weight was provided with a slightly enlarged body size.

From mid-1996, the version of Touring with L-shaped rear lamps and opens separately rear glass. In contrast to the previous body, in the 39th trunk volume was increased. The release of BMW E39 was completed in 2003. Before choosing this body, we recommend getting acquainted with its "sores" in the article - the problems of BMW E39, which is actually characteristic of the car of the same year 2003, because the machine is not new.

Engines

At the time of launch, the model range was available only with 6- and 8-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. Over time, new models with gasoline units have become available, and a range of vehicles with diesel engines has been expanded.

BMW E60 / E61

Presented in 2003, the fifth generation of the 5 series, the BMW E60 marks the beginning of the era of modern systems of help to the driver and security, making a significant step forward in technology. In addition, the body design was rather progressive, and despite criticism, since 2005, the 5th series was a sales leader in its segment. Since 2004, Touring E61 has been available.

Due to the best weight distribution between the front and rear axle, they have improved significantly challenges. For the first time used on E34 in 1996, it became anew available in the fifth generation. This system is used in conjunction with the X series crossover, and the models that were equipped with a drive for all wheels were denoted instead of "I / D" index "XI / XD", but since 2009, the symbol "XI / XD" is changed to XDrive.

With the advantages and disadvantages of the car, it is possible to get acquainted in the article - the problems of BMW E60.

Engines

Still in the previous generation except gasoline engines, the manufacturer pays more attention to diesel engineFrom which I did not refuse the BMW E60 body.
