THE 2011 BMW 5-Series is the first fully redesigned version of this highly desirable sedan since 2004 revealed at ongoing New York International Auto Show 2010. The sixth-generation 5-Series is slightly larger than the 2004-2010 editions. 2011 BMW 5-Series is more powerful yet more fuel-efficient. Perhaps most vital to fine-car lovers everywhere, it’s less alienating in appearance.

The 5 Series will be available with several different engines, and will start appearing in dealerships in the middle of the year. The 2011 550i will be even more powerful, with a 4.4-liter, 402 horsepower, direct-injected, twin-turbo V8 engine. The 550i comes with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission, and will get about 5 percent better gas mileages. A six-speed manual transmission is available.

The front-end of the 2011 BMW 5-Series will likely feature a more upright kidney grille in order to comply with stronger pedestrian protection laws, while the headlights won’t be stretched out like on the current model. The rear roofline and C-pillar connects more fluidly to the trunk lid, which is now devoid of the Bangle-butt that was so universally derided with the E60 model.

The new 5-series is being built off an entirely new chassis, with double wishbones in the front, like on the new X5. The go is designed to give better control and road grip around corners. BMW will also be updating its iDrive system for the new 5-series, making life a small simpler with the addition of yet another pair of programmable buttons. The 2011 BMW 5-Series is expected to go on sale this June and the price of this new car will be about $51000.

The ongoing New York International Auto Show started from Friday, April 2 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York and will continue till April 11. The New York International Auto Show 2010 features nearly 1,000 cars from carmakers all around the world.

Although questions are raised as to whether or not the next M5 will have an engine that produces more than the 500 horsepower in the current M5’s V10, it is expected to have an engine that generates 30% more torque than the V10. That would raise maximum torque from 380 ft-lb to nearly 500 ft-lb. This car’s performance could match, or exceed, the 555 hp and 501 ft-lb of torque found in the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 used on the BMW X5 M. 2011 bmw
