This special accolade is the highest distinction conferred by the Hanover-based International Forum Design. The BMW 5 Series Touring is among the 50 recipients of the Gold Award selected from a total of 993 winners of the 2011 iF label.This special accolade is the highest distinction conferred by the Hanover-based International Forum Design.

The award winning BMW 5 Series Touring has distinctive proportions and surface design, which combine to create an individuality that generates a dynamic and powerful ambience. Setting the 5 Series Touring apart from its competitors are its stretched bonnet, short overhangs, the longest wheelbase in the segment, elongated lines in side view and a dynamically sloping roofline.

Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design was very happy to win the iF award and commented, "We are very happy that, in the BMW 5 Series Touring, we have shown that functionality can be beautiful. BMW combines excellent functionality with truly modern and emotional aesthetic".
