The BMW E12 is the first generation of 5 Series mid-size luxury sedans, which was produced from 1972 to 1981 and replaced the BMW New Class sedans.


Initial models were powered by four-cylinder engines, using either a carburettor or fuel-injection. A year after launch, the first model powered by a six-cylinder engine was introduced. By the final years of E12 production, most models used a six-cylinder engine.


There was no M5 model for the E12, however the E12 M535i is considered to be the predecessor to the M5. The E24 6 Series coupes were built on the E12 platform up until 1982.



The E12 was replaced by the E28 5 Series in 1981, although E12 assembly continued until 1984 in South Africa.


The E12 5-series Chief of design was Paul Bracq, with Marcello Gandini of Bertone co-designing the exterior.
