Page 3: Purpose Of The System
The E60 is the fifth edition of the BMW 5 Series replacing the E39. The automobile revo- lution in design and engineering initiated by the E65/E66 now finds its logical continuation in the E60.

Thus the E60 is the first BMW model not to have the previously typical side swage line. Its place is taken by a character line, an edge of light which lends the side view a whole new character. Various light reflec- tions above and below this line produce a play of light and shadow, thereby giving the impression of a very low side panel.
