Next BMW 5-Series To Share Platform With SUV
Filed in archive by Gunnar Heinrich on December 29, 2006

We cannot only admonish American car manufacturers for platform sharing. Other companies manage to have their models share platforms as well (albeit with more success, typically).
An example of this will be, according the UK automotive monthly AutoCar (p.20 of December's print issue), the next BMW 5-Series. The next generation of BMW's vaunted mid-size performance saloons will share both the wider platform and double wishbone suspension of the X5 SUV (SAV in Bavarian speak).
It's doubtful that Bimmer fans should find cause to worry as history has shown that each successive generation of 5-Series sedans has performed better than the previous generation.
