Modestly refreshed for 2008, the latest 5-series Bimmers get some optional techno-tweaks. The most intriguing is a video-based lane-departure warning system that vibrates the steering wheel when its brain decides you've deviated from your intended path without meaning to. This has value on long freeway grinds, but it's annoying when you're clipping apexes on a favorite stretch of back road. Fortunately, it can be switched off.
BMW has enhanced its adaptive cruise control to include stop-and-go traffic-we wish the programmers would add an adaptive off feature-and the iDrive control collective is a bit more user-friendly, but tortuous logic still abounds.
Nevertheless, despite the gizmology overlay, these sedans continue to deliver a level of competence, comfort, and response that sets the pace in their class.
