2009 BMW 5-Series Review
 TheCarConnection.com has researched a range of road tests on the new BMW 5-Series to bring you some of the most useful observations from other reviewers. Then here, TheCarConnection.com's editors bring you their own overall Bottom Line assessment, including firsthand driving impressions.The 5-Series sedans and wagons aren't the most practical or the best values in their class, but they're a joy to drive. Following last year's 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder optional engine upgrade, there's not much to report for the 2009 BMW 5-Series lineup besides some new wheels. |
