Equipment and practical details

BMW 5-series · Generation 5, E61, facelift · Europe · 03.2007 - 09.2010. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.

Generation and equipment description ↗

Separately opening rear glass: This gives access to small items without lifting the whole tailgate. Check the glass latch, seals and access to the luggage area.
Disc brakes on both axles: On a version with disc brakes on both axles, confirm the front and rear disc sizes and types separately. The layout name alone does not establish disc diameter or ventilation.
Seat-position memory: Check that positions can be stored and recalled, particularly if several drivers will use the car.
