A handsome wagon

Overview Information

The 5-Series Touring is a mid-sized wagon based on BMW's outstanding 5-series mechanicals. The only model offered is the 535xi which is an all-wheel-drive model powered by a 300hp inline-6 cylinder engine. Like its sedan counterpart, the wagon is a tour-de-force of electronics and electronic driving aides. The wagon adds a generous cargo area with a power-lift hatch.

What Changed:

The 2008 5 Series features mild exterior and interior updates. The six-cylinder models switch to the latest generation of normally aspirated and turbocharged engines. This in a new 535 model designation.
