Product Overview

BMW 5 Series Touring F11 is an executive station wagon in production from 2010 to 2013, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4, inline-6, and V8 engines that displaced 2.0 to 4.4 liters.

Compared to the E61 Touring, the F11 retained the list of unreliable engines. Unfortunately, every single one of them has proven to be troublesome in one flavor or another. The worst may be the N63 V8 and the N20 I4 petrol engines, though the N47 and N57 were not far behind.

An improvement is that the F11 finally started using double-wishbone front suspensions, which improved comfort. The new ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission is also great.
