he 2011 BMW 5-Series was completely redesigned and sits on a wider and longer chassis, which reviewers thought makes it less performance-oriented than previous models. Still, the 5-Series offers powerful engines, and some received a power boost in the redesign. The 5-Series also has strong crash test scores.The 2011 5-Series was revised inside and out and reviewers liked the upgrades when the car was new. The auto press felt that the 2011 5-Series has higher-quality materials than previous models and that the interior is more luxurious and comfortable. The front seats in the 5-Series received good reviews, but test drivers took issue with the lack of rear-seat legroom. With the redesign, BMWs iDrive multi-media interface system was overhauled and reviewers thought it was much more user-friendly. Some available features to look for include a back-up camera, rain-sensing wipers, multi-contour leather front seats and all-wheel drive. The all-new engine features identical displacement, power, and torque specs, but ditches the old throttle valves and twin-turbos for Valvetronic throttling and a twin-scroll single turbo. The result is improved responsiveness and efficiency
