The new E60 - Highlights and Design
The BMW Group's new design strategy with its broadening of the family resemblance lends
future BMW model series still more individual character. It is thus possible for the E60 to
embody the values of the 3 Series (dynamic and sporty) as well as those of the 7 Series
(successful, top of the range and sporty) and yet remain an individual and original car with-
in the scope of traditional BMW model series.
Unlike its competitors - and also its predecessors at BMW in previous years - the new 5
Series demonstrates its own clearly recognizable lines: The unique character of the individ-
ual model series within the overall range of the BMW marque will in future be increasingly
accentuated. The new 5 Series therefore comes across neither as a small 7 Series nor as
a big 3 Series.
The front end makes a bold and dynamic state-
ment.
The most striking features are the new twin
headlights and the dramatically sloping hood
lines on both sides which now already begin at
the level of the earlier swage line.
Flowing lines run from the headlights along the
sides to the rear end of the E60.
