Few words & E12 links:
|
The BMW E12 was 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 BMW New Class mid-size 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.
