BMW 525 Production 1973, Exterior, Interior, Driving Scenes
The BMW E12 automobile platform was the basis for the 1972 through 1981 BMW 5-Series automobiles and the first platform to bear the 5-Series name: the '5' denoting BMW's fifth 'New Class' platform. Designed as a replacement for the popular Neue Klasse (BMW New Class) mid-sized sedan, the E12 5-Series models were smaller than the large BMW E3 sedan but larger than the two-door 2002 models. The E12 was replaced by the BMW E28 5-Series in 1981, although production continued until 1984 in South Africa.

Styling and Features

French stylist Paul Bracq styled the E12 5-series. Designed to compete with the Mercedes W114 sedans, the E12 models were fitted with a variety of engines. 1.8L and 2.0L versions of the type-M10 four cylinder from the older Neue Klasse sedans were used in the 518 and 520, respectively. A six-cylinder version of the 520, built with a 2.0L type-M20 belt-driven engine was also available from 1977 on. The 525i, 528i, 530i, and M535i, were fitted with type-M30 six-cylinder engines as used on the large E3 sedans and E9 coupes. With the exception of the 520i, four-cylinder and 2.0L six-cylinder engines were fitted with Solex carburetors. The 520i used the mechanical fuel injection system from the BMW 2000tii and BMW 2002tii. Six-cylinder versions were available with dual Zenith two-barrel carburetors or Bosch L-jetronic fuel injection. Fuel-injected models contain the i letter at the end of their model badge.

With the introduction of the BMW E23 large sedan in 1977, the E12 received a minor re-styling. The rear-mounted gasoline filler door was relocated to the side of the car and the taillights were widened. The hood, originally designed to clear the large air filter assembly for cars fitted with dual Zenith carburetors, was redesigned, and the dashboard ventilation was repositioned to improve air distribution.
