BMW 5-SERIES     The 1998 BMW 5-series.  Four door sedan and 5 passenger capacity.  The 5-series is very luxurious but still maintains the sporty touch in its design and its fine-tuned engine.  The 5-series sedans add 'head' air bags for the driver and front passenger, in addition to standard dual front and side air bags.  The new Head Protection system is hidden right above the door, ready to inflate upon impact to help prevent serious head injuries.
