What was the first BMW 5 Series car?
The BMW 5 Series is an E-segment car manufactured by BMW since 1972. Its name derives from the fact that it was the first BMW model line to use "Series" in its name, following BMW's three-digit model naming convention. The first BMW 5 Series was launched in 1972 as the successor to the New Class sedans, which revolutionized the car market in the 60s with their modern design and powerful engines. The first BMW 5 Series was designated the E12 and introduced the characteristic front grille with twin headlights and elongated silhouette that would become distinctive elements of the 5 Series.

The E34 started my love for BMW... been wanting one ever since I was a kid because of the E34. The E39 just strengthened that love. And now, after all this time, I just bought a 2016 F10 535d MSport XDrive...

[@autoevolutiontv]

Congratulations on your recent purchase! It's amazing how a passion for a particular model like the E34 can ignite a lasting love for a brand. The E39 and F10 are also outstanding models, each bringing something unique to the 5 Series heritage. I'm sure you'll have unforgettable experiences with your new F10. Enjoy every moment behind the wheel!

I like E34 the most. I feel like after that, they started to lose their original soul.

[@autoevolutiontv]

this is true but we are tempted to say that, but these are the new trends and customer preferences, energy efficiency, advanced technology, comfort and safety. The manufacturers have to adapt their models to meet the requirements and expectations and automatically the design and technical characteristics of the cars evolve in accordance with these requirements. I think each model has something special.
PS: thanks for watching!

Lubię doszukiwać się nawiązań stylistycznych do poprzednich historycznych już modeli. Szkoda że tak mało twórców (dziennikarzy) zwraca na to uwagę. To co widzimy np w nowej 5 wydaje się być futurystyczne, a jednak widać podobieństwa do modelu E12 sprzed 50 lat, np deska rozdzielcza. To samo jest w Mercedesach. Fajnie gdyby ktoś pokazał to dokładniej, zwrócił uwagę na ciągłość stylistyczną, powracanie do historii w nowej odsłonie. Po takich porównaniach lepiej można zrozumieć że to wszystko co teraz widzimy ma jakiś sens, korzenie, a nie spadło z księżyca. Pozdrawiam!

Bardzo ciekawe spostrzeżenia dotyczące nawiązań stylistycznych do poprzednich modeli! Zgadzam się z Tobą, że często warto przyjrzeć się bliżej, jak nowe modele łączą się z historycznymi korzeniami. To, co wydaje się futurystyczne, często ma swoje źródło w designie sprzed lat.
