the new efficiency benchmark in its segment. Average fuel consumption in
the EU5 test cycle is just 5.0 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 56.5 mpg imp),
the CO
2
emission rating is 132 g/km (provisional figures).
The top-of-the-range BMW 550i comes with an eight-cylinder boasting
BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and High Precision Injection for
maximum output of 300 kW/407 hp.
The straight-six with BMW TwinPower Turbo, High Precision Injection
and VALVETRONIC in the BMW 535i delivers maximum output of
225 kW/306 hp, while the two straight-six power units featuring High
Precision Injection and lean-burn operation develop 190 kW/258 hp in
the BMW 528i and, respectively, 150 kW/204 hp in the BMW 523i.
Straight-six diesels with the most advanced technology give the BMW 530d
maximum output of 180 kW/245 hp and the BMW 525d an equally
impressive 150 kW/204 hp. Fitted with optional BMW BluePerformance
technology, the BMW 530d fulfils the EU6 emission standard. And it almost
goes without saying that all versions of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan comply
in full with the EU5 standard in Europe.

appropriate combinations on each model, with features such as Brake Energy
Regeneration, a gearshift point indicator, active air flap control, and on-

Intelligent lightweight construction, finally, is ensured by features such as
the doors, engine compartment lid, front side panels and suspension
components made of aluminium.
