Back then it didn\u2019t have too many rivals but today the 5 Series has to contend with several competitors in a much more crowded marketplace. Even so, it retains its appeal. For some that appeal begins and ends with the blue-and-white spinner badge on the bonnet but most 5 Series buyers appreciate its silky-smooth blend of performance, road holding, comfort and luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The E60 5 Series, born in the middle of BMW\u2019s experimentation with styling, managed to avoid much of the design excess and arrived as an attractive model with elegant proportions and finely defined lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first E60s rolled into local showrooms in 2003 and many sedan<\/a> and wagon<\/a> models were added and revised over its seven-year lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the door and you will find an attractive and welcoming interior: neat and simple, ergonomically efficient and characterised by premium materials and quality finishes.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

There was good leg and headroom for four, five at a squeeze, and the boot was a decent size<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the bonnet you could find one of the numerous engine options, from a modest turbo diesel<\/a> to a thundering V8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were trademark in-line petrol sixes of the sort that BMW is renowned for, in 2.5-litre and 3.0-litre capacity, and the V8s ranged from 4.0-litre to 4.8-litre displacement over the model\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The turbo diesels<\/a> were a 2.0-litre four-cylinder and a 3.0-litre six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All delivered good performance for their purpose, even the small six, which had a strong mid-range and a willingness to rev if needed. All were linked to\u00a0six-speed auto transmissions<\/a>\u00a0and drove through the rear wheels. On the road the E60 was smooth, refined and well-balanced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
