The engine develops its maximum torque of 400 Nm/295 lb-ft all the way
from 1,200 to 5,000 rpm, with maximum output at 5,800 rpm. In conjunction
with High Precision Injection likewise optimised to an even higher standard,
this ensures a balance of performance and fuel economy quite unparalleled
in this power class.
The new BMW 535i accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in just
6.0 seconds, its top speed is limited electronically to 250 km/h or 155 mph.
Fuel consumption in the EU test cycle, on the other hand, is 8.5 litres/
100 kilometres (33.2 mpg imp), the CO
2
rating is 199 grams per kilometre.
The six-cylinder power units featured in the BMW 528i and 523i come with
an even more sophisticated version of High Precision Injection with an even
greater focus on efficiency. Both displacing 3.0 litres, these naturally aspirated
engines receive their supply of fuel by direct injection in the lean-burn mode,
maintaining this highly efficient injection process with a reduced amount of
fuel in the fuel/air mixture throughout a broad load range and also at higher
engine speeds. This combines the fast-revving driving characteristics and the
dynamic build-up of power so typical of a BMW six-cylinder with particularly
low fuel consumption and emissions.
In the new BMW 528i, this technology provides for maximum output
of 190 kW/258 hp at an engine speed of 6,600 rpm and peak torque of
310 Newton-metres/228 lb-ft all the way from 2,600 – 5,000 rpm.
Acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h comes in 6.6. seconds and the top
speed of the new BMW 528i is limited electronically to 250 km/h or 155 mph.
This sporting performance goes together with average fuel consumption in
the EU test cycle of 7.8 litres/100 kilometres (36.2 mpg imp) and a CO
2
rating of 182 grams per kilometre.
The power unit featured in the new BMW 523i delivers maximum output
of 150 kW/204 hp at 6,100 rpm and peak torque of 270 Nm/199 lb-ft all the
way from 1,500 – 4,250 rpm. This kind of power accelerates the sedan to
100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and provides a top speed of 238 km/h or 148 mph.
Average fuel consumption of the new BMW 523i in the EU test cycle is
7.6 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 37.2 mpg imp), CO
2
emissions are
177 grams per kilometre.
Six-cylinder diesels: supreme torque and optional BluePerformance
technology for the EU6 emission standard.
Representing a brand-new generation of straight-six turbodiesels, the
3.0-litre in the BMW 530d offers even more torque and pulling force,
enhanced smoothness and supreme economy. These qualities typical
