On this page you will find different dimensions for the BMW 5 Series.
You will find, among other things, information about width, length and height.
I have collected information about various popular diesel engines and petrol engines from 12 generations of BMW 5 Series.
If there are two measurements, it may be because different equipment means that the car can differ in size. For example, if the car has fixed rails on the roof or sportier suspension that makes the car lower.
