Exterior and interior dimensions were both significantly increased on the third-generation BMW 5-Series models.
Their styling was reminiscent of the 7-Series introduced previously.
Innovative technologies like advanced digital engine management, ellipsoid headlamps and central locking with infrared remote control transformed the BMW 5-Series E34 into a thoroughbred high-tech vehicle. For the first time, a Touring version was added to the 5-Series in 1991, and the M5 was available from 1988 on with optimum luxury and performance. From 1992 on, the new three- and four-litre BMW V8 engines were also available for the 5-Series.
