BMW's New 5 Series

Today I wanted to take sometime to discuss BMW's 5 series. The entire purpose of this series is to add a little bit more executive look to the BMW's brand. I am very impressed however by the new look that BMW has decided to go with in creating this vehicle. When compared to the 3 series the purpose of the five series was to not look as sporty; however, the new body of the car has been able to achieve both a more sporty look without loosing the executive style. The new more aggressive round front of the vehicle and dual exhaust tips on the rear are my favorite additions to the car. Below you will find the performance statistics to the vehicle.

Performance statistics for BMW's 528i/535i/550i

2011 BMW 528i 0-60 mph 6.5  Quarter Mile 14.5   MPH (city)  18  MPH (highway)  28

2011 BMW 535i 0-60 mph 5.5  Quarter Mile 13.9   MPH (city)  19  MPH (highway)  28

2011 BMW 550i 0-60 mph 4.9  Quarter Mile 13.7   MPH (city)  15  MPH (highway)  22

 With a price tag starting at $45,425,  $50,475,  $60,575 respectively, I feel this is a great vehicle now that it has a new body style. I honestly would not have recommended this car in the past but now really do appreciate BMW's consistent innovation.

BMW's

I wanted to start with BMW's 3 series. This is actually my favorite series that BMW offers. The reason being, these cars come with the performance to compete with any vehicle out there however do not come with the price tag. Each one of these vehicles has the handling of a pure sports car yet the luxury of any high end brand. One thing that I personally would like to see BMW do more in these vehicles is increase the technology in the cockpit. I personally feel that they lack in that area when competing with brands such as Lexus.

Introduction: Car information at your fingertips!!

Dear Readers,

I have created this blog for a very specific reason, to have information about any specific car's performance statistics, gas consumption, and overall view of vehicles at your fingertips. Since I am a car enthusiast I enjoy reading anything I can get my hands on about automobiles and find that it is extremely difficult to find this information from an unbiased perspective. The reason that most of this information can be misleading is because most websites get their information from the auto makers website. This results in a bias because most auto makers try to disguise their figures to leave room for improvements for their new models coming out the following year. I however will do the research for you. The reason being I enjoy learning as much as I can and second it will be a great database to have access to for all you car enthusiasts.

Since this is after all a blog I will start my posts with luxury end vehicles. Please let me know if any of you would like more information on any vehicle I discuss/would like me to discuss a specific vehicle. I will be more then happy to share my findings with you.
