E12

BMW E12 – The origin of the 5 Series.

With the E12, BMW launched the 5 Series in 1972, a model that remains successful to this day. Clean lines, sporty handling, and powerful inline four- and six-cylinder engines made it a stylish business sedan that was a joy to drive. The 528i and the rare M535i models, in particular, are considered sought-after classics with character.
