About the BMW F11
The F11 is the Touring estate version of the F10 5 Series, built from 2010 to 2017. It pairs the saloon’s refined driving manners and technology with a versatile load bay, self-levelling rear air suspension and a powered tailgate. Engine choices mirrored the saloon, from efficient four-cylinder diesels to the twin-turbo V8 550i, and the practical body made it a favourite among families and long-distance drivers who refused to compromise on BMW’s trademark driving dynamics.
