First look: 2011 BMW 5 Series

Last week, courtesy of BMW North America, yours truly had a chance to spend some much needed time with the all new 2011 BMW 5 Series. The new sporty sedan made its debut last month during the international media launch held in Lisbon, Portugal.

The first 5 Series models will arrive at U.S. dealerships in June and for now, BMW customers will have the option to choose between the 535i 3.0 liter Twin-Scroll powered model or the high-end unit, 550i, powered by the 4.4 liter Twin-Turbo engine seen in the GT models or the new 7 Series.

The 2011 535i model we’ve seen last week was actually a demo unit used by BMW to train their staff, from client advisors to mechanics. The exterior of the car wasn’t in top shape, so we decided this time to skip the much craved photos, but we promise we’ll make it up to you in the near future.

See BMW Blog for more info and a full range of photos
