Spy shots of the 2010 BMW 5-series have leaked on the internet, and some car enthusiasts may not be fans of the new design, even without the paisley graphics used by testers to disguise the overall view. In that case, used BMW 5-series in New York could be a better bet.
BMW enthusiasts have lamented some of the newer models for the past several years, including the use of “eyebrow” indicator lights above the headlamps and the more curvaceous cues, according to CarEnthusiast.com.
“The rear loses the raised [trunk] lid of the existing car, but the bold rear lights remain and dominate the rear styling,” the website notes, adding that from the rear, it looks a lot like current BMW 3-series, with other design cues linking it to the 2009 Z4 roadster.
If you’re looking for a used BMW 5-series in New York that doesn’t have the eyebrow light arrangement, a 2003 model could work well.
“The 5 Series is an excellent midsize luxury car, whether you choose the high-performance 540i or a comparatively basic 525i wagon,” noted the editors at Edmunds.com. “If you can afford one, we’d highly recommend it.”
