About the BMW F10
The sixth-generation 5 Series arrived in 2010, replacing the controversial E60 with a more conservative, elegant design penned under Adrian van Hooydonk. Built on a platform shared with the F01 7 Series, the F10 was larger, more refined and more technology-laden than its predecessor, offering everything from frugal four-cylinder diesels to the twin-turbo V8 of the 550i and the M5’s motorsport-derived powertrain. With its blend of comfort, build quality and driver appeal, the F10 became one of BMW’s best-selling generations and stayed in production until 2017.
