The world debut of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan once again marks the
epitome of aesthetic design and supreme driving pleasure in the upper
midrange segment. Through its sporting and elegant looks, driving dynamics
typical of the brand, outstanding efficiency as well as innovative comfort and
safety features, the sixth generation of BMW’s executive express convincingly
reflects the supreme standard of the world’s most successful manufacturer
of premium cars throughout the entire process of development.
Design: charismatic, elegant, sporting.
With the longest wheelbase in the segment, a long and sleek engine
compartment lid, short overhangs front and rear and a coupé-like, graceful
roofline, the new BMW 5 Series Sedan stands out clearly from the
competition.
Overall, the aesthetic looks of the car are clearly determined by perfectly
balanced proportions. Design features typical of the brand are to be found
both at the front with its BMW kidney grille inclined slightly forward and on
the strikingly chiselled engine compartment lid, in the stylish and elegant
side view of the car, and on the muscular rear end.
Within the interior modern function and a superior ambience come together
in perfect harmony, unmistakable style and clear orientation to the driver in
the cockpit guaranteeing a truly unique driving and travelling experience.
Driving experience: supreme dynamics and outstanding comfort.
The most advanced drivetrain and suspension technologies ensure
supreme sportiness and an even higher standard of motoring comfort all in
one. At the same time optional Dynamic Driving Control enables the driver
to set the suspension individually to his personal requirements. The new
BMW 5 Series Sedan is available with Adaptive Drive encompassing
Dynamic Damper Control and Dynamic Drive stability control, as well as
BMW’s Integral Active Steering.
The new BMW 5 Series Sedan is making its debut with one eight-cylinder
and three six-cylinder petrol engines as well as two six-cylinder diesels.
The range is rounded off by a four-cylinder turbodiesel with an aluminium
crankcase and common-rail direct injection. Maximum output in this case of
135 kW/184 hp makes the BMW 520d fitted as standard with Auto Start Stop
