2001 BMW 540
BMW's 5 Series remains the quintessential midsize luxury sports sedan. Each model presents a distinct personality and price range, and all are wonderful cars in their own right. The 5 Series sport wagons (525iT and 540iT) are fantastic. They offer much better handling than any sport-utility vehicle and better performance than most sedans; judged logically, they make a lot more sense than BMW's own X5.
A new 525i sedan drops the price of entry for 2001, and some minor styling revisions freshen the appearance of all models.
