Original and Generation of the BMW E60 5 Series
The original BMW E60 545i VFL belongs to the fifth generation of the BMW 5 Series, which was produced between 2003 and 2010. This generation was one of the last developed under the supervision of chief designer Chris Bangle and chief engineer Klaus Draeger. The BMW E60 aimed to bridge the gap between sporty driving dynamics and luxurious comfort. The 545i utilized a 4.4L V8 engine producing 333 horsepower, propelling the sedan from 0 to 100 km/h in about 5.8 seconds. A highlight of this model was the iDrive infotainment system, one of the first implementations of such a system in its class. The E60 followed the highly successful E39 and further evolved some of its design elements and technical features.
