2007 model year changes
In 2006, BMW introduced new engines for the 5-Series, so BMW kept the 2007 model essentially the same. An auxiliary audio input is now standard, and new optional features include HD radio and BMW's night vision technology, which uses thermal imaging to "see" animals, people or other vehicles that may be beyond the car's headlights.
The 2007 BMW 5-Series offers passenger-carrying performance from one of the most respected sport car manufacturers on the planet. The wide model range includes the world famous M5 to satisfy boy racers, a wagon in 530i all-wheel-drive trim to provide cargo capacity when the road becomes twisty, and the $43,500 525i sedan.
