Introduction to the World of the BMW E60 550i LCI
The BMW E60 550i LCI is part of the fifth generation of the 5 Series, produced from 2003 to 2010. This ride took some big steps in terms of innovation and design. Designer Chris Bangle made bold design choices with the E60 that left a lasting mark on the automotive world. Technically, the 550i packed a punch with its 4.8-liter (0.5 gallons) V8 engine, delivering a solid 367 horsepower. That power was sent through a slick 6-speed transmission, providing some seriously impressive performance. Compared to its predecessor, the E39, which was a successful but more traditional car, the E60 really stood out. It continued BMW's philosophy of sporty elegance and technical advancement.
