Money Magazine has once again selected the 5 Series as Best Luxury Car in their Annual Car Guide

The all-new 2004 5 Series Sedan, launched September, 2003, received two awards this month. In its March, 2004 issue, Money Magazine has once again selected the 5 Series as Best Luxury Car in their Annual Car Guide. Money’s Lawrence Ulrich reports, Last year’s luxury winner, the BMW 5 Series, was a hairbreadth from perfection.

But the all-new 2004 model still marks a step forward – styling included…This latest tech trickery makes the 5 Series more athletic over hill and dale than ever before. Money also awarded the 2004 3 Series with runner-up for Best Sports Sedan.

AAA also honored the 5 Series, for the third consecutive year, as the Auto Guide Award Winner in the $35,000 to $40,000 category in their annual AAA Auto Guide: 2004 New Cars and Trucks publication, which will become available this March. American Woman Road & Travel announced at this year’s International Auto Show in Detroit, their selection of the 5 as 'Most Dependable - Sedan of the Year' in their annual survey.

Ed Robinson, BMW’s Executive Vice President of Operations, replies, We are thrilled to have received these awards for our popular 5 Series Sedan. Annual sales of the 5 Series models reached nearly 47,000, an increase of 15 percent over the previous best year in 2002, and 2004 is already off to a good start.
