This article focuses on the BMW executive lounges built since 1972. For BMW luxury cars built in the 1950s, see the BMW 501. The BMW 5 Series is a medium and executive car manufactured by BMW since 1972. The car is now in its sixth generation, is sold in sedan and touring body styles.

The 5 Series is named to be the fifth car (new series) after the V-8 and Isetta era. The previous models were the 700, the (new class), the 'New Six' 2500/2800/Bavaria and CS. Series 5 is intended to replace the former New Six sedan. The body was designed by Marcello Gandini, based on the 1970 Garmisch Bertone 2002ti Geneva Auto Show BMW. Gandini also did the Fiat 132 and Alfa Romeo Alfetta, two other cars that have a similar design.
