BMW is hoping to rise to the top again.  After a few years of auto industry woes, their profits have been down.  Not the best news for a good line-up of automobiles.  Now that things are starting to turn around for the auto world, BMW is expecting to see profits rise again starting 2010 and continuing through 2012.  This is due largely in part to one of their top series:  The Chicago 5 series.

Even though BMW’s profits were down compared to the sales revenue they were used to, they were still making profit when a lot of other car companies either were not, or were going under completely.  They’ll have a lot of work to do over the next few years to figure out new ways to generate profits.  This year they are releasing a 5 series specifically for the Chinese market and that line up will get a hybrid version in 2011.  I’m not 100% sure if the Chicago BMW m5 will be seen on the roads in China too?  BMW could also see profit with a compact car, which may be on roadways by 2014?

The Chicago 5 Series is a great choice if a luxury car is in your budget.  There are several trims available, such as the 528i, 535i, and 550i.  The Chicago BMW m5 is also an option that will give you top performance!  The 5 series ranks very high in performance.  The range of engines that come in each trim give the most power they can, while offering the driver a smooth ride.  The 5 Series also handles excellently!

The 5 series comes primarily in rear-wheel drive, but some of the newer models offer all-wheel drive features.  If you like wagons, the 5 series also is available in that type.  Whether you choose a sedan or wagon, you’ll find a lot of room and a luxurious interior designed with quality materials.

I hope the Chicago 5 series that’s on the market now and the updated 2011 version coming out in the future, helps BMW get back on the fast track to maximum profits!
