The cars covered in this book are the third-generation 5 series models. By the time they went out of production, many people considered they had surpassed Mercedes' effort and set new standards. These were the first 5-series models to include an estate car and to have V8 engines whilst keeping the Six-cylinder models. These gave plenty of scope for tuning companies. This book is a collection of contemporary road tests, comparison tests, specifications and performance data, new model instructions.
