context_page_description: The sixth generation of the BMW 5 Series consists of the BMW F10, BMW F11 and BMW F07 executive cars. The F10/F11/F07 was produced from 2009 to 2017and is often collectively referred to as the F10.
  The 'Gran Turismo' version is the first and only 5 Series to be produced in a fastback body style. The F10 generation is also the first 5 Series to offer a hybrid drivetrain, a turbocharged V8 engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission, a dual-clutch transmission, active rear-wheel steering, electric power steering, double-wishbone front suspension, an LCD instrument cluster and automatic parking. A long-wheelbase sedan version was sold in China, Mexico and the Middle East.
  The M5 model, introduced in 2011, is powered by the BMW S63 twin-turbocharged V8 engine coupled to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. It is the first M5 to use a turbocharged engine.
  In February 2017, the G30 5 Series was released as the successor to the F10.
context_section_description: The B5 is based on the 550i and is powered by an Alpina-modified version of the BMW N63 twin-turbo V8 engine. The original B5, which was unveiled at the 2010 Goodwood Festival of Speed, produced 373 kW (500 bhp) and 700 N⋅m (520 lb⋅ft). The transmission is an 8-speed automatic.
  Alpina unveiled an updated B5 at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Power had been uprated to 397 kW (532 bhp) and torque to 730 N⋅m (540 lb⋅ft). During 2015, Alpina sold the B5 Bi-Turbo Edition 50, which marked the company's 50th year in operation. The Edition 50 uses an upgraded engine which produces 441 kW (591 bhp) and 800 N⋅m (590 lb⋅ft). The standard B5 received this same engine for the B5's last year of production, 2016.
