BMW 5 Series (E34) 518i 1988 - 1995
⌖
The third generation BMW 5 Series was introduced in 1988, based on an entirely new E34 automobile platform. Initially available in a saloon body style only (later, BMW would launch a first generation E34-based Touring model), the new 5 Series saloon benefited from a much stiffer bodywork aimed to improve driver's safety in case of a collision and a longer chassis. Also, this model featured a more aerodynamic look, while equipped with newly-developed airbags, revised suspension, ABS system and dynamic stability control. In 1993, BMW slightly restyled its model's exterior design, giving its mirrors a more aerodynamic shape and fitting it with a new set of wheels.
