2011 BMW 5 Series – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nThe 5 Series<\/a> is an important model for BMW<\/a>, particularly in North America where it’s the brand’s second best seller behind the 3 Series<\/a>. Heading into 2010, BMW has expanded its mid-size line with the new Gran Turismo<\/a> body style already on sale. However, the volume leader for the 5 Series is the four-door sedan, which officially debuts today. The 2011 model transitions to a new platform architecture shared with the latest 7 Series<\/a> as well as the upcoming Rolls-Royce Ghost<\/a>. The 5 Series sedan gets a four-inch shorter wheelbase than its siblings, but at 116.9 inches, it still stretches well past its competition. The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class<\/a> runs a mere 113.1 inches between its axles and the Cadillac CTS<\/a> is 113.4 inches. <\/p>\n

From a technical perspective, the new 5 Series picks up much of what can be found in the 7 Series and the Gran Turismo. Read on after the jump to learn more about it. <\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Nine videos added and more images uploaded into gallery.<\/em><\/p>\n
