BMW 5

with Bernd Pischetsrieder

Styling cues from the 3 and the 7 series - the BMW 5 is moderate looking compared to the radical new Mercedes E (W 210).
Technological advance is the key to the new 5: The suspension and braking systems, even the most basic road wheels, are now made from aluminium. The Cd figure of 0.27 for the 520i, rising to 0.30 for the 525tds is impressive, versus 0.30-0.33 for the former models.
