The BMW 5 Series stable for 2008 includes five sedan models and a sport wagon. The 5 Series sedan lineup includes: 528i, 528xi, 535i, 535xi and 550i. The Sport Wagon is designated 535xi. All but the 550i sedan, which represents an existing model are new model designations denoted by the specific engine application, ranging from a 2.8-liter, 3.5-liter and a 5.5-liter motor.

2008 model year changes include: A manual transmission offering on 535i and 535xi Sedans. New optional High Beam Assistant. This system switches the high-beam headlights on/off automatically via a sensor on the front of the inside mirror, ensuring that the high-beam headlights come on whenever the road situation is suitable for doing so.

Building on last year's updates, the BMW 2008 5 Series Sedans and Sport Wagon receive another significant freshening and, in the case of six-cylinder models, a major boost in power and efficiency. Complementing the power increase, a thoroughly revised interior, new technological features and a freshened look front and rear ensure this benchmark collection of rear- and all-wheel-drive Sedans and Sports Wagon will maintain their place at the forefront of the midsize luxury class.
