BimmerCast #7 – The 5 Series Show

It’s 5 Series week on the BimmerCast. Along with the normal news of the week we spend some time walking through the range from the E12 to the upcoming F10. Does the E34 look better than the E39? Are the seat controls as ridiculous in the E28 as we remember? We cover it all in our longest show to date.

Of note: I was incorrect in my recollection of the shifter placement in the F01- it is the same for the new F10 5… my apologies.

lava – you are right. I got mine by subscribing (through iTunes) and in comes down fine.

Mike & Gabe – you guys lost me on the model nomenclature in #6. Gald you can keep track of the model designations, but I can’t always!

Chas- we will try and keep it down a little- you can always copy and print out handy model cheat sheet guide- which is also our wonderful way of navigating the site.

In all seriousness- we thank you for listening and welcome your comments- anything we can do to make it a better experience we will try, also let us know what you would like to see on the site setup and how the new layout is…

We have a passion for all this but also want to be sure we are serving you the enthusiast as well!

all the best,

I am subscribed through iTunes, and 6 and 7 are not in the list. When was announced it did not show, I unsubscribed and subscribed again, and it still did not show.

Just letting you know all is not right there, and people may be trying to get your show and are not finding it.

We changed the category name which reset something things yesterday morning. However by mid-morning everything was showing up for me on multiple computers and my iPhone. So it should be there.

About BimmerFile

BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.

We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.

We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.

In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
