BMW to Debut 5 Series Lifestyle, Exclusive and Sport Editions at Geneva

BMW 5 Series Exclusive edition

Special-edition BMW 5-Series models help to focus the car's appeal.

Hoping to inject a dose of high class into the already sporty and respectable 5 Series, BMW plans to introduce three special-edition lineups of the sedan and wagon at Geneva. The Sport, Exclusive and Lifestyle editions are designed to appeal to the various portions of the 5 Series' widely varied customer base. Each is distinguished by unique paint colors and trim.

The Exclusive edition is set apart by its Platinum Bronze Metallic paint and additional chrome on the body. 17-inch alloy wheels and a wood-trimmed interior establish the Exclusive edition as the luxury car of the family. The Lifestyle edition is designed to appeal to more active 5 Series owners, with satin-finish chrome and a lighter interior featuring a leather and Reflex cloth interior. The Lifestyle's unique color is Neptune Blue. For the gearheads, the Sport edition gets BMW's signature racing colors--Imola Red or Le Mans Blue--as well as 18-inch M alloys, a body kit and an M sport suspension.

Naturally, the 5 Series' fantastic driving dynamics haven't been touched, and we've heard of no plans for exclusive powertrain changes to any of the special editions. The additions to the lineup will make it easier for 5 Series owners to tailor a car to specific desires straight from the factory.

I quite like the Platinum Bronze metallic, it looks great! Since the face lift was launched the 5-series has lacked a proper bronze/champagne color, great news. Imola red will be beautiful too with the M sport bodykit. I definitely hope these lineups will be available on the Scandinavian market!

desiathate i agree. BMW looks like hyundai on the inside and lexus on the outside. I think you really like this Japanees looking German car. They all look a like. BMW's interior it will never be better then Mercedes', just tasteless in every model. It seem like they have a hard time trying to keep up with competition when they used to lead.

There's no any inovations :( Seems more like clear definition of options that allready have been in options list. It's just another marketing solution to keep sales on top

Is it just me or is the kidney bean grille starting to look more and more like it was transplanted from a Pontiac! Although I like the headlights they do look like something off a Lexus.
