In the Luxury Large Car class, 2011 BMW 5 Series is getting a satisfying position. It beats Jaguar XF, Lexus GS Hybrid and even 2011 Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe. However, it still has to accept the triumph of 2010 Audi A7 and 2011 Mercedes Benz E-Class. 2011 BMW 5 Series seems to be the correction of the previous version. It has a better performance and more spacious cabin for the front seat. However, many people are not satisfied with the exterior of 2011 BMW 5 Series. Reviewers said that this series is unable to capture the soul of BMW athleticism. The rounded design is nice, but BMW fans might not be able to find the soul of this car. The car is offered in $43,576 to $57,872.
The performance of 2011 BMW 5 Series is very good. We don’t have to doubt on BMW performance, this brand is known to be a car manufacturer that serves sedan with the best performance. Well, we can feel the quality on this 5 series latest version as well, but unfortunately many reviewers feel that the car does not give the BMW handling standard quality. For the 535i series, it is served with 3.0 liter six cylinders engine. BMW said that this series is completed with twin power turbo, but don’t get confused if we only find a single turbocharger because this is how BMW call single turbocharger. The series is producing 300 horsepower. For 550i, it is using 4.4 liter V8 engine that serves 400 horsepower. When compared to the previous engine, this V8 engine is so much more powerful and energy efficient.
The interior of 2011 BMW 5 Series is so excellent. Even though it serves a limited space for the passengers, but the quality of the cabin, dash and features make us tolerate the space problem. The cabin is served with finer wood and soft leathers make the interior so luxurious and comfortable. 2011 BMW 5 Series can be said as one of the best 5Series.
