5 Series (F10/F11/F07/F18) BMW F11 5er Touring - press drives & reviews


The BMW F10/F11/F07/F18 is the sixth generation of the BMW 5 Series, manufactured for model years 2010–2017. The body styles of the range are: 4-door sedan/saloon (F10), 5-door estate/wagon (F11, marketed as "Touring"), 5-door fastback (F07, marketed as "Gran Turismo"), and 4-door long wheelbase sedan (F18, sold only in China and the Middle East).
I´ve always hated how much they recharged everything they can in a BMW. The fornt bumper is horrible, so are the rims.
 
I don't live in the UK. Are these available in the Netherlands?

I'm not a big fan of Alpina design either. It looks aftermarket and chavvy. I would just get a standard 5 Series to be honest without the M pack. It looks reasonably good although already it looks dull on the road. Only the fantastic interior redeems the 5 series F10. It's a shame because I love the M Sport E60 and the E90. Maybe the F10 will look better in the metal.

According to the Alpina website they don't have a dealer in the Netherlands.

Well, there are many photos of Alpinas with netherlands license plate on the web - so they should be available there. There is also no need for a special Alpina dealer, since these cars are available at some BMW dealers as well. But maybe all the Alpina are imported… :t-hands:

Well the website is wrong. There is an official Alpina dealer about 20 km from my house ;)

Edit; exactly Ree. There is a BMW AG owned dealer here that is official Alpina dealer as well.

Betty, you're jumping to conclusions with the M pack for the F10. I don't care, and you can think of it whatever you want of course, but I'd think it is a bit premature to say that the M pack on F10 will not look good; we haven't seen a single shot of it, anywhere.

Thanks, I stand corrected. :usa7uh:

Maybe the rest of the M Pack will look good, but the wheels are the most significant part of it, and we've seen two sets which IMO look terrible. But I agree, maybe when it's officially announced or I see them in the metal I will change my mind. If I do I will be sure to let you know. :usa7uh:

The small rims of the M pack always look terrible in my opinion. Just look at the M pack of the 3er sedan, or the ones on the X5. The 7er ones look very good, the E60 ones too, and the 1er M rims are perfect. But the worst ones for me are the Z4 sDrive35is, holly crap, how can such a mindblowing car have those ugly rims.

BMW 520d Touring -Review by Car Advice - Australia - English

Car Advice Conclusion said:
It might be a large wagon with a small displacement diesel engine, but BMW’s 520d Touring punches so far above its weight on so many levels that against its German competition, it represents a bargain.
