Just like your grandmother would remind you every year at the holidays, if you’re a member of the family, it’s important for you to know your family’s heritage. And with that idea in mind, BMW brings you another installment of its “BMW History” YouTube series, which coincides with the debut of the fifth generation BMW 5 Series.

Loyal BMW family members know that there’s plenty of blood, sweat, tears and drama that goes into the creation of each and every vehicle, and the BMW 535i is no different — except that it’s completely different thanks to its revolutionary combination of practicality, aesthetics and athleticism.

Both now and in its 1980 debut year, the 535i boasts an inimitable blend of approachable luxury and racetrack-worthy agility. Learn about where the idea of this family sprinter originated and how it’s developed over the past 35 years in the video history lesson below:

Want to meet the current reigning BMW 535i? We’d love to introduce you two! Just stop by our BMW of Devon dealership, right here in Devon, PA at your convenience.
