- With the 5th Generation 5 Series, BMW presented once again a bearer of technology. Besides new engines and further development in the chassis, this generation offers for the first time the Head Up Display, Active Steering or the iDrive.
These are just a few of many examples. Another highlight is “EfficientDynamics.” Since 2007 BMW is using this technology in its 5 Series. Take a look behind the scenes with BMW insiders.

This is still my favorite 5 series BMW has ever made, it was so futuristic back then and was so cool
To think this was 03 is mind blowing it was controversial at the time but the leap in style (love or hate) after the classic e39 is still one of the biggest changes in car design I have ever seen. The f gen returned to understated solidity after and is a fine looking car but had no wow talking point factor about it.
This car was a game changer. Especially in 2003.. it still looks great now and the m5 and 550's are still excellent. Respect
Thanks for sharing your passion and for being our fan! :)
Anderson A. Yeah, it still looks so modern that the exterior design, at least, looks *more* modern than the brand new G30 5-series.

Still modern
still ugly
@M RO im my opinion no
@@mro9466 not ugly Jeremy clarkson said that he’s ugly as well
It’s not ugly it just has a different style
@@dil5157 I agree
BMW E60, the car what looks like better and better after the years. Design was so futuristic for 2003. Great job !
Long live Chris Bangle.
@Oliver Toronyi I totally agree.
Oliver Toronyi The interior is awful though.
Have you seen a fully equipped E60 interior ? It was luxurious back in 2003. But, the build and material quality is far from E39.
Still driving my Dinan tuned BMW E60 545 with all the bells and whistles, on top of all the available Dinan performance modifications, hardware and software. A great ride still and simply more performance car than I could ever need or handle.
A 2005 model with 17,000 original miles on the clock to date and of course never any mechanical issues or problems to speak of, aside from periodic routine and recommended maintenance.
It's strictly a weekend leisure ride vehicle only for us. Will hit 50,000 miles hopefully in a few years and see what's next for us. Great job, BMW, on my 5th generation business class ride!
Legendary E60 especially that V10 M5
Madalin Pana yes best bmw ever
Madalin Pana without a doubt my favorite BMW to ever exist! Long live the V10 M5!
I’ve had e39 m5 and now I’ve got e60 m5 and both cars are awesome in there own right 👍.
it has aged so well. No wonder it was hated back in the day. It was way ahead of its time.
Design that was so ahead of its time. Looks like it came out in 2010. Came out in 2003!!
i would totally drive this car in 2019, still a sexy looking 5 series
I have already had 4 of them. Still not bored with my E60.
This was my first car, and I absolutely LOVED it. Despite the amount of money it took to maintain I am still devastated that it is gone.
The E60 is my personal favorite BMW sedan and wagon. Strikingly gorgeous design with lots of lines, sweeping curves, cuts, and all. This car has aged wonderfully.
I love it. I've been a teenager when this came out and it was the car that ignited my passion for BMW.
Today, i'm an employee :)
Thank you, E60
I used to drive a 2019 Audi A6 Quattro until my business failed due to COVID-19 then gave up the leasing and I had to buy a cheaper car. At the beginning I was crashed , but destiny spoiled me with a beautiful e60 530xd , manual shift, in perfect conditions , that made me forget the A6 and feel privileged to drive the BMW . The car is absolutely fantastic to drive , looks modern in 2021 and is way better then many other premium new cars . This car will stay looooong time in my family and remembers me about beautiful time spend back in the 2000’s with my previously owned e34 and e39. I just can’t say which one is better from the preowned 5 series , but for the moment I am living the love story with the fantastic e60😜
I definitely prefer the e39, but for 2003... this is a FANTASTIC car. It's so much more refined than most of the stuff that was around back then.
After all these years still a fantastic car, spacious interior, massive trunk and yet feels so light and nimble. The styling is timeless and is class of it's own. Definitely my favourite 5er.
This 5th gen is just like wine, it only got better looking when it got old, hopefully this will apply to the F10 as well, which is bland compared to the new G30.
Andre Coutinho F10 was the last good looking 4 series. The G30 is way too futuristic and the design is too forced.
F10 looks good with facelift, none face lift looks old.
@@standyourground9973 The F10 was a 5 Series not a 4 Series...
Almost nobody talk about it but the fact that you had adaptative headlights in 2004 in incredible
funny how they didn't even mention the S85 V10 that made this generation iconic
Random Gamer They didn't mentioned any of M cars in this series.
I think they'll make M5 episodes as they did with the M3.
This car has aged like a fine wine 🍷
I don't think this car is ugly. I think this car is beautiful
Agree! I love the headlight design🔥
Agreed. It looks so good and timeless
Yes but e39 is most beautiful and elegant than e60.
@@elicroman No. Not for me. The E60 is more modern than the E39. I think it's the F10 which is better than the E60, not the E39.
i own and daily drive a 2008 5 series, still in perfect condition. bought it new in 2008 and i have no plans to change it just yet. tons of people think it's a new car and are surprised when i tell them it's the 2008 model year.
Same here - 2006 525
Great car! I have one. Bought it in 2007.530d with Kit M.Still rolling and good quality overall!
Hi where I can get KIT
E39 looks timeless, this looks like it was released yesterday!
This is my dream sedan. I like the design. The headlights looked like the eyes of an eagle. Likewise with the taillights, which look like wings.
I'm very proud to say I finally bought one and im very VERY impressed with my car E60 530d the car is so powerful (my First car was E90) The design od E60 is beautiful... my favourite BMW no doubt imo.
E60 M5 was the pinnacle of sports sedan. I'm getting one next month and I hope you guys utilize the V10 engine once more... the engine and exhaust roars were simply gorgeous.
kyrix1st no chance of bmw touching that v10 again there all going turboed with smaller engines .
5 series BMW are very pretty
specially E39, and f10/f11...
All 5 series are very good cars
E60 still look super !!
E39 is a legend
The best car ever in 2003-2010! There are No sedan can beat this,
Camry accord mazda mercy etc
Btw i still have this car beside f30 and f10
It wasn't the most reliable generation of 5 Series (The E34 was) but optioned out with the M Sport package it was definitely one of the most fun to drive 5 Series. I drove a BMW 550i M Sport with the 6MT and it had to be the best all around car I've driven. It had a nice firm ride without being harsh (switched out the RFTs), sharp handling, rock solid build quality and everything just had this nice tactile feel to it. Engine was silky smooth and powerful and the clutch and shifter were just perfect.
Own a 2005 530i blue metallic with brown interior it’s my favorite car. Got 200k miles but still feels like a new car
To my eye, still the best-looking sedan/saloon BMW has produced.
In a matter of weeks I'll reach 500 000km on my 2004 E60 530d and I'm astonished how reliable it is. If this car gets decent maintanance, it'll never end :D Even with that high number on the dashboard I don't care if I have to drive for 100km or 3000km straight - I just know it'll do this just fine...
Ah, the E60. By far my favorite 5-series.
I have a 2010 BMW 535i e60. It has 51K miles. Has M and sports drive. It's gorgeous inside and outside. It gets tons of compliments daily. I did put some new black rims on it. Black on black with Napa brown leather interior. It's powerful and handles so well. I couldn't not ask for a better model. The e60 changed the game. Love mine.
This is a beautiful car. Only looks better with time. Bangle's team got it right all across the board back then. What a good time for bmw - controversial but attractive design balanced their strength in engineering driven by racing in formula one.
Just recently sold my 2004 530i. Loved that car, got over 165,000 miles out of it before I finally ended up trading it in.
Best BMW design in a long time that has really stood the test of time. Even today on the road it looks futuristic and sporty both in terms of exterior and interior. In my view one of the best sedans ever made! Back in 2004, 545i V8 was a blast!
I owned a 530d 2004 with active steering and dynamic drive amazing car !
How was the reliability on it
The E60 still looks new. Not only that, the E60 was really the first car of the early 2000's to become more modern. Personally, I like Mercedes and would rather have a E class.The iDrive was also really fussy.
Fabulous car my favorite♥️♥️♥️. Can you make a series of videos for the 3 series please ?? ♥️
This BMW is the best BMW ever made.Design and power is at its best.There will not be same BMW as this anymore.True car!
I personaly think this is the best looking 5 series, my dad had a gray one and i loved it. Now we have an x3 but i still love this look.
An underrated BMW for sure. Arguably revolutionary in its design, the E60 brought about a new, iconic image for BMW. Smooth in its line yet aggressive, this car quickly became a recognizable silhouette and a status symbol. I fell in love with this car and, despite its age, I hope that one day one will sit in my garage.
The ugliest BMW ever. Terrible.
I like very much BMW history videos. make more. 6 and 7 series 8 series z 3 4 and z8. also m series for future
We will ;)

@@liviaporonto3595 Agree
E39 and E60 are my favourites
I had a 2007 530i for my first car and absolutely loved it. Everyone thought the car was new when it was 7 years old because of how well the design was done for its time. The reliability was awful but when it ran it ran great
The 530D is a bullet proof engine known to easily get up to 300k miles, only thing letting the car down like all modern BMW's is the electronics. They even gallomized the body so it won't rust, future proof. My dad bought a 05 530D touring for £5k in 2012 with 145k, 165k now and still going strong. We retired it to sit on the front drive for now and bought a F11 535D with 23k miles
From my youth till now always drived severall Mercedes , BMW , Toyota and Honda cars. Recently buyed a bmw e60 523i 2008 high executive with manual gearbox. What a car and joy. Excellent look as a business car. Silvergrey color ❤
I love the design of the E60. Imo it's one of the best looking sedans ever made with the M-sport exterior. I think the M5 version of this car made it more acceptable for enthusiasts and BMW elitists. Nobody can complain about a V10 in a family sedan!
Jake pretty much what I said as well! When I see one today, in silver or gun metal grey, it still catches my eye. The design was so dynamically on point.
I love the look of the m-pack so much, and for sure the m5 E60
This car is a masterpiece
The thing is... The E60 was much better to drive than the F10 is due to it being lighter and having normal powersteering. I really hope the G30 will be better to drive than the F10. Don't get me wrong, F10 is a very good car to drive.
Manakuski Yea, the driving dynamics of the F10 leave quite a bit to be desired if you expect it to be anything E39-like. I remember reading a C&D comparison between the F10 535i, E350, A6 and CTS. I did not want to believe the things written about its handling. The phrase that hurt the most read something along the lines of, "this is as far as you can get from the E39." Once I drove an F10 I realized something. The F10 5 Series was no longer the car its nameplate predecessors were. It's really more fitting as a spiritual successor to the E38 7 Series(which makes the current 7 Series a predecessor to some kind of a behemoth) than it is to the E39/60. If that makes any sense at all. Its size is gigantic. It's very luxurious(with the right trim) and luxury seemed to be completely prioritized over everything else. Overall, it won my heart back for being the car that you would want to take on a 5 hour road trip even if you had an SUV sitting next to it. I kind of have a similar feeling when I look at the F30 3 Series. When I see an F30 340i I don't associate it with an E36 328i or an E46 330i. I just can't. When I see an F30 I cannot help but to compare it to the E39 5 Series due to its size, luxury and performance. The F22 2 Series feels like a spiritual successor to the E36/E46 and I think we will soon enough have a 4 door version of the F22 stateside. I hope someone here relates to my view on this issue.
Just got an 06 M5 3 months ago... Dream Car status!
have fun with the repairs
@@BmwMe-uh9sy 😂😂😂
Love my 07 530i. 164k and still drives amazing.
Thank you for sharing your personal memories with us. We highly appreciate your feedback. 😎
I wish BMW would make e60 again
It had problems
E60 535i sport, 550i sport, and M5 are some of my favorite BMW’s ever made
Although I am driving a F10 550i, an E60 M5 is still on the top list of my dream cars.
As a newer BMW fan, this was one of the first body styles I fell in love with because of the unique line & front fascia. Now I'm finally in the market for one, hoping I can find a nice E61 535xi w/ the sport auto transmission
E60 and W211 were game changers
Still my favorite 5 series generation!
I regret selling mine. I'm definitely buying another one soon! I loved my 2004 BMW 530i, I loved the colour, Olivine. I have to say that the E60 generation was the last generation that was desirable. The new ones are just another sedan on the road
you've bought one and you sold one and you're gonna buy it again?
Alias Rehbar I really want to!!!! They're lovely cars that are extremely reliable and they look so modern still!! I only sold mine was because I needed a 4WD. I bought a 2012 BMW X3 30d. Nice car but not as nice as the 530i
Amazing car all around with the perfect blend of everything between size, luxury, performance, comfort, and styling. I’ve had two E60s and can say the reliability is excellent too, even with my current M5 with almost 120k miles.
got this car last year and slowly restored it to its full glory, black, on 19'' wheels it looks very up to date, sometimes people who dont know cars ask if its new lol
BEST 5 SERIES EVER
bruh every body has their choice ...
Opinions are personal, and it shows
I've had an e34 e38 and now I have purchased an e60 👌🏽 all amazing vehicles
I can't wait to get this car at 16 my dad bought it brand new in 2004 it's the 530i and I love it. I'm 14 btw. BMW is the best auto brand ever! I would love to own the 2010 BMW M5 that would be my dream come true. But I'm saving up to buy the 2010 BMW 535i. Thank you BMW for making the ultimate driving machine
Whassup now?
@@remcos5759 lol!
My second favorite! I'm ready to see the F10!
My favourite BMW design aside from the e46. The E60 5 Series was an elegant design.
danielwut I can agree, I have an E46 preface coupe for me and E60 touring for hauling the family. Both are the most enjoyable cars I have had.
I have to smile everytime I watch these History Videos :D They are talking about weight reduction in every car but the put so much more tecnical stuff into the car and make it bigger so that it weights more with every generation anyway xD
Best looking 5 series.
The E60 is one of my favourite BMW's! I cant believe in its year it had head up display! Great car BMW keep it up :D
nissan has heads up displays in the early 90's ....
still i must say the E60 has grown on me and still looks modern to the day.
Can't help but think that this design, particularly in m-sport guise, was the best looking saloon BMW have ever made. I will be switching to a saloon and though an early F10 is in budget, I'll be going with a late E60 instead.
I'm one of the few that loves his this generation looks. my dad still drives his 528i and it has only 70K miles
It's 2023 & these cars still look modern & still look awesome 👏
And it always will 😎
@@BMW Fuck Yeah! LOL I own one! Bayerische Motoren Werke!
Amazing car even in 2022 that is crazy
This was the car that grew up with me
The butterfly wings headlights are so exotic
I looking forward to the video of the F30. I've been driving a 2012 520d for a year now and i absolutely love the thing!
My first and actual car is a 525i 2006, and i love it so much
+Yocael Thank you for your compliment, we are so lucky to have fans like you in our community!
Still look modern & beautiful until now.
This design works in my country which makes 525i MSport the most picked car. :D
My favourite car.
Thanks for this video.
i just bought 2005 97,000 miles and i love it , it has some issued to fix but itsno big deal its 15 years old car but still drive like new
im hopefully about to buy my first bmw, the 530i, I've heard a lot and the e60 shape is just amazing to date,
I feel like BMW was really thinking with the E60 BMWs because of how cool they look and getting an orange-ish interior on an E60 BMW that has a dark blue color or a black color is relatively hard
The official car of tailgating, no turn signals, False M badges, and M STRIPES ON THE GRILLE OF MY 525i WITH YELLOW HEADLIGHTS.
I think you meant to comment on an Audi video.
here comes an hater
I've only ever driven BMW, everything else just seems lacking in feel and driver dynamics in comparison. My dream is to own an E92 M3, I love the howl from the glorious 4L V8 but if money was no object it would have an E60 M5 sat next to it, the 5L V10 engine is a real masterpiece of engineering and the noise it makes brings a tear to my eye, it's just glorious.
Currently I drive an E46 coupe which is the love of my life, my family always say I spend more time with that than I do them!!
My all time favourite sedan.
Best driving 5 series for sure especially with sport package and active steering
Romanians really loves this car
i own 530xd 2007 .. i never had or driven better handling 2 tone sedan .. closest car i driven was model s tesla .. but build quality is way better in my 5 series than in brand new tesla
...but car under 10k that is made for long trips in luxury as well as spirited driving ..nothing beats it
BMW E60 the Best of the Year 2003 - 2010 💪💪
1:40 😂😂 Airbag fault in The commercial 😂 Would be a Surprise if they Had Fixed it 😂
Headlights turn with the wheels! Like the Tucker Torpedo😁
I got a 06 5 wow love it
best 5 series
Can’t believe this is a 20 year old design. Still looks modern.
I just bought a carbon-schwarz ´06 530i with M-Sport kit. I´m in a romance with this car. I come from the 3 previous 5 series, so I expect this one to be as least as reliable as those.
I bought mine 535d e60 before 4 years, and it stills looks awesome and compare to other new cars isn't that far behind. It have HUD, memory packet , multimedia . Also motor is quite nice with a chip tuning it hit 350 hp and 700nM which is impressive even for nowdays diesels. And the fuel consumption 6.5/100 highway and 12-13/100 city , cant be more happy with this car. The only bad thing is that its getting older :( and the electronic start slowly to give away :(
This is one of the most beautiful cars ever Made if the e60 was focused more on reliability it would be one of the best cars ever produced even though it still is
