BMW E60 2006

BMW 5 Series E60, a model that is as much contested as it is loved by wide-necks-short-foreheads, as well as by businessmen or the top management of the corporate world. One of the most controversial BMWs in recent history, enters the Almost Car Reviews septic tank.

There were and still are many reasons to buy an BMW 5 Series E60. Launched in 2003 to retire the legendary BMW E39, the BMW 5 Series E60 came with a design as sporty as Boris Johnson, but as capable as Vinnie Jones. The BMW 5 Series E60 remains a middle-segment limousine, but also capable of sports. This attracted both people with legitimate ways to make alot of money and people who chose other paths in life in order to get money. In fact, the BMW 5 Series E60, along with the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne were the official cars of the economic crisis of 2008. Douchebags flocked to these cars before the crisis, having money obtained through various, more or less legal methods. In fact, the BMW 5 Series E60 was so popular that BMW in the balkans used to insert a CD with Mahala Rai Banda or whatever was popular to in 2007, and then the CD was glued inside the radio so that you could listen on repeat without needing to push any buttons or do any sort of effort. Now that’s what I call listening to the client’s voice.

It’s hard to find a car that has attracted such a different clientele. From various dubious people who have as many knives as tattoos, to very strong and fiscally clean businessmen. I personally know a businessman, a millionaire in euros, who bought a new BMW E60 530i when it got launched. The BMW 5 Series E60 was indeed a status car, and it could still move as expected from an BMW (except for the 520d version).
