Sales market: Russia.
The sixth generation of the BMW 5 Series was introduced in November 2009. From now on, the sedan received the designation F10. Changes in this generation affected the suspension - the front now has double wishbones (a similar design is used on the BMW 7 Series), the rear suspension is multi-link. Externally, the car follows the accepted BMW corporate line. It is built on the same platform as the BMW 7 Series F01, so compared to the previous generation it has become longer, wider and lower. For Russian buyers of the BMW 5 Series, a wide range of engines is offered with seven engine options, including four gasoline and three diesel. Among other things, not only rear-wheel drive versions are offered, but also all-wheel drive modifications.
The respectability of the BMW 5 Series sedan is emphasized by the initially high level of equipment of the most inexpensive version of the 520i, which includes 17" alloy wheels, bi-xenon low and high beam headlights with washers, front and rear fog lights, electrically adjustable rear view mirrors, LED turn indicators and heating , leather-wrapped steering wheel, multifunction steering wheel, dividing armrests front and rear, heated front seats with electrically adjustable height and backrest tilt, cruise control, climate control, rain and light sensors, on-board computer and satellite anti-theft system. Modern technologies include functions Auto Start Stop and Brake Energy Regeneration The interior lighting package includes two vanity mirror lights, two footwell lights, four door open lights, rear ambient lighting, and trunk and glove box lighting. equipment that can be added to this wealth, it should be noted, first of all, sports seats or especially comfortable front seats, equipped with an increased number of electrical adjustments, as well as a fatigue prevention function and active ventilation; multifunctional instrument display using Black Panel technology with a diagonal of 10.2 inches; comfortable lighting, including lighting for the center console shelf, door pockets and trims, door opening handles, external lighting in door handles and lighting for the entry/exit area.
The petrol engines available for the BMW 5 Series include the N63 (4.4-litre 8-cylinder twin-turbo), N55 (3-litre in-line 6-cylinder turbo) and two variants of the N53 (2-litre, 245 power). or 184 hp). Diesel: two options N57 (3 liters, power 313 or 258 hp) and a 2-liter N47 engine. The engines are equipped with an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, which provides high shifting and driving comfort thanks to close gear ratios and minimal speed jumps. This allows you to combine high comfort, tangible dynamics and reduced fuel consumption. Gears can be changed manually using the selector lever. There is also a choice of a six-speed manual transmission and an eight-speed sports automatic transmission with electronic selector and adaptive control system, which provides equal opportunities for dynamic and economical driving. Shifts can be made using the selector lever or using the paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
The chassis of the BMW 5 Series, as already mentioned, has been seriously modernized. Integral Active Steering for the rear-wheel drive sedan combines variable steering ratio function with steering of the rear wheels. For example, at speeds up to 60 km/h, the rear wheels turn out of phase with the front ones. The car behaves as if its wheelbase has been reduced, while maneuverability and steering are improved. At speeds above 60 km/h, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels. The wheelbase “increases”, which ensures driving stability and comfort, especially during quick lane changes. The Adaptive Drive system combines the active roll suppression system Dynamic Drive and electronic damping control. And the intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system adapts perfectly to the most difficult road conditions, providing maximum traction and instant redistribution of drive torque between the axles for optimal traction.
Effective protection for passengers in the BMW 5 Series Sedan in the event of an accident is provided by airbags for the driver and front passenger, curtains in the front and rear seats, as well as side airbags in the backrests of the front seats. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) monitors driving conditions using various sensors and, if necessary, optimizes stability and traction by intervening in the engine management and brakes. Other features included in the BMW ConnectedDrive package are also noteworthy: Preventative Safety, Adaptive Cornering Lights, Active Cruise Control, Parking Assist and Collision Warning.
The advantages of this generation of the model include luxurious design, a wide choice of engines, an optimal combination of overall dimensions, maneuverability and efficiency, as well as the most modern set of systems and safety equipment.
Read completelyEach generation of the BMW 5 - series is a kind of standard against which other manufacturers are measured and which is closely followed by two other premium brands from Germany. The first “five” rolled off the assembly line in 1972, and in 2010 production of the sixth generation began, which replaced the previous oneand received the f10 index.It took four years to develop the new model; the car is built on a modern platform. It is noteworthy that the “five” and “seven” are even assembled at the same plant in the city of Dingolfing. All previous generations of the fifth series were designated with the index “E”, and the new product received the index “F”,this index denotes and .
External review of the BMW 5-series F10
To the delight of most fans of the brand, BMW refused the services of Chris Bangle, who drew the previous fifth series, a car that had excellent characteristics, but had a very controversial design. Designer Jacek Frohlich and the company’s chief designer, Adrian Van Hooydonk, had a hand in creating the look for the new “five.” Pay attention to the rear lights, don't you think they resemble? The “seven” base makes itself felt, the car has significantly increased in size: the length has increased by 58mm, the width by 14mm, and the height has decreased by 18mm. “Smart” headlights automatically switch from high beam to low beam when oncoming traffic appears. For the sake of good weight distribution, the engine is moved behind the front axle, and the front overhang is very short - this gives it a resemblance to the third series. The drag coefficient F10 is 0.28, low air resistance has a positive effect on dynamic performance, as well as efficiency indicators. The hood, front fenders and even the front doors are made of aluminum. 
The aluminum hood provides a softer “contact” with the pedestrian, and of course aluminum body panels are lighter than metal ones. Today, the BMW 5-series f10 is available in sedan and station wagon body styles. Depending on the installed engine, the Bavarian car is shod with tires measuring 225/55 R17, or 245/45 R18. The BMW 550 is fitted with wider and lower profile tires. It is expected that in July 2013 the assembly of modernized BMWs with modified headlights and bumpers will begin.
BMW interior equipment and equipment
The iDrive system is already included as standard, note that the fifth generation of iDrive is already installed on the fifth series, the system has become more user-friendly and allows you to change a variety of settings, from the radio to the chassis settings. 
As an option, BMW front seats can be equipped with electrically adjustable lateral support. As an option for the “five”, door extensions are offered, which is quite common on executive class cars, but not in the “E” class. The “empty” car, so to speak, already has dual-zone climate control installed, but at the request of the first owner it can be replaced with a four-zone climate control system. Compared to the E60, 35mm of space has been added above the heads of the driver and front passenger, and the overall interior has become 11mm wider. The BMW F10 is offered with a night vision system that projects images onto a central 10d diagonal monitor. Tests have shown that even in complete darkness the system will detect a pedestrian at a distance of 300 meters. 
The center console, in the manner of the “old” models of the brand, is turned towards the driver, the rotation angle is 7 degrees. The safety of people in the cabin is at a high level - this is confirmed by EuroNcap and NHTSA tests; American experts said that the “five” is the safest business class car. An optional projector is available that displays important information on the windshield in front of the driver. An all-round visibility system is optionally installed on the BMW, similar to that used on and, looking at the display the driver will see his car from above, as well as all obstacles next to the car: curbs, people, etc.
The BMW fifth series has the longest wheelbase in its class - 2963 mm, which is even longer than that of the BMW. 
The high transmission tunnel will interfere with the average passenger, but what is really interesting is that the backrests of the sofa do not fold down as standard; you can only fold back the hatch. Reclining backrests are optional equipment, as are eight or nine inch monitors on the backs of the front seats. The trunk lid can be opened by a servo drive; the trunk volume remains the same as that of the BMW 5-series E60 - 529 liters.
Technical part and characteristics of the BMW 5-series F10
The BMW 5-series F10 is offered with six different engines: diesel and four petrol. two of the petrol units are turbocharged. The least powerful is the BMW 523i with a 2.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine producing 204 hp and 270 Nm of torque. Such a car reaches a hundred kilometers in 8.5 seconds. For comparison, the new sports coupe reaches a hundred in 7.5 seconds. The next most powerful is the BMW 528i with a 3.0-liter engine with a power of 258 hp and a thrust of 310 Newtons. This car accelerates to hundreds in 6.7 seconds. The turbocharged 535i has a volume of 3.0, not 3.5 liters, power - 300 hp and thrust of 400 Nm, all thrust is available from 1,200 rpm. The most powerful BMW 550i “hides” under the hood a V8 4.4k supercharged with 407 hp and 600N.M, after the expected restyling, in the summer of 2013 the power of the 550i will increase to 445hp and torque to 650N.M. Diesel modifications are 525d and 530d, the volume of power plants of both modifications is the same - 2.9 liters, but the 525d produces 204 hp, and the 530d produces 245 hp.
For the “fives,” an eight-speed automatic transmission and a six-speed manual are offered. The BMW 550i differs from other modifications in having larger diameter brake discs; discs with a diameter of 374 mm are installed on its front axle, and discs with a diameter of 345 mm are installed on the rear axle. Depending on the power plant, the main gear is also installed; the 550i has the longest gearbox and has a gear ratio of 2.813:1.
Standard equipment includes a brake energy regeneration system. The body rigidity of the F10 has been improved by 55% compared to the E60. The Adaptive Drive suspension continuously measures longitudinal and lateral acceleration, wheel steering angle and speed. The suspension independently adapts to the road situation. The BMW base already includes ABS, EBV and Brake Assist.

To summarize, we can say that BMW has brought to the market a very high-quality car that no longer bears the burden of a design created by Chris Bangle, and this increases its chances of commercial success.
At the end of November 2009, the long-awaited premiere of the new, now sixth, generation of the BMW 5-Series, which received the F10 index, took place.
The design of the new “five” BMW 5 F10 (2015-2016) turned out to be amazing and should win back the loyalty of fans of the brand who did not accept the latest works released under the leadership of Chris Bangle.
The car is built on the shortened platform of the new BMW 7-Series sedan, and the features of a flagship are clearly visible in its appearance.
Options and prices BMW 5-Series (F10)
The new BMW 5-Series F10 sedan has grown a little in size. Compared to its predecessor in the E60 body, the length of the new “five” has increased to 4,899 mm (+58), width – to 1,860 (+14), and the height, on the contrary, has become lower by 18 mm and is 1,464. The wheelbase is equal to 2,968 mm, which is approximately 80 mm more than its main competitors.
At first, seven power units were offered for the new BMW 5-Series F10: four gasoline and three turbodiesel. At the top of the range is the BMW 550i with a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 407 hp. and developing a maximum torque of 600 Nm.
The remaining three gasoline engines are in-line six-cylinder units: a 306-horsepower biturbo in the 535i version, as well as two naturally-aspirated engines with a capacity of 258 hp. for BMW 528i and 204 hp — for BMW 523i.
Diesel versions: 530d and 525d are equipped with six-cylinder three- and two-liter engines producing 245 and 204 hp. respectively. The only four-cylinder engine in the BMW 520d closes the lineup with 184 horsepower.
The transmission for the new BMW 5 is the latest eight-speed ZF automatic, but a 6-speed manual transmission remains available as well.
The interior of the car has become in many ways similar to the flagship sedan of the seventh series. The fourth generation of the iDrive system can be supplied in two versions: with a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 800x480 and with a large 10-inch resolution of 1280x480, which has a wide range of functions.
Production of the new F10 “five” has been established at the company’s plant in Dingolfing, where the BMW 7-Series F01 and BMW 5-Series GT are also produced. The price of the model on the Russian market at the time of sales varied from 1,765,000 to 3,240,000 rubles.
Restyled BMW 5-Series F10
In May 2013, the German automaker presented the updated fifth series sedan, station wagon and hatchback, which received cosmetic changes to the exteriors and interiors, as well as a new engine and additional modifications.
The restyled BMW 5-Series sedan (2015-2016) can be distinguished from the pre-restyling car by the presence of turn signal repeaters in the rear-view mirrors, a different front bumper with round fog lights and a chrome curved insert, a radiator grille with a reduced number of ribs and a retouched rear bumper.
In addition, the car has acquired new wheel design options, additional body color options, xenon optics in all trim levels (optional full LED), and in addition to the M package, the Luxury Line and Modern Line packages are now available.
In the interior of the BMW 5-Series F10, the color schemes have been updated, the volume of the cup holders has been increased, and the iDrive system has received a new firmware version 4.2. As for the engines, they are all now optimized to comply with Euro-6 environmental standards, which come into force in September next year.
In addition, an initial 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel unit with 143 hp has appeared in the lineup, which is installed on the BMW 518d version. This engine boasts an average combined cycle consumption of 4.5 liters per hundred.
Another innovation is that from now on the diesel “five” 520d can be ordered with the proprietary xDrive all-wheel drive system - previously this version was offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive.
The cost of the updated BMW 5 F10 in Russia has expectedly increased - for a car in the basic version at the time of sales they asked for at least 2,540,000 rubles, and for the top versions 550i xDrive and diesel M550d xDrive they had to pay 4,290,000 and 4,490,000 rubles, respectively.
