BMW 5 Series Sedan

Introducing the sixth generation of the BMW 5 Series Sedan, BMW is setting a new benchmark for driving pleasure, aesthetic design and efficiency in the upper midrange segment. In its design the new sedan presented to the world public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show is characterised by harmoniously balanced proportions, stylishly elegant lines, and powerful, expressive looks.

The new BMW 5 Series Sedan comes with the longest wheelbase in its segment, a truly generous, sophisticated and modern interior, a driver-oriented cockpit and numerous innovative driver assistance systems guaranteeing a fascinating experience on the road, even on the longest journeys.

The new BMW 5 Series Sedan is entering the market with a choice of one eight-cylinder and three six-cylinder gasoline engines as well as two six-cylinder diesels. The power range extends all the way from 150 kW/204 hp to 300 kW/407 hp.

These larger engines are supplemented by a four-cylinder turbodiesel with an aluminium crankcase and common rail direct fuel injection. Output in this case is 135 kW/184 hp, giving the BMW 520d fitted as standard with Auto Start Stop a new level of unparalleled efficiency in its segment.

As an alternative to the six-speed manual gearbox featured as standard, all engine variants may be combined with eight-speed automatic transmission standard on the new BMW 550i.

The new BMW 5 Series Sedan offers an unprecedented symbiosis of the superior sportiness so characteristic of this model with an even higher level of all-round comfort. As an option, the outstanding suspension technology featured as standard on the new BMW 5 Series Sedan may be combined with Adaptive Drive and Integral Active Steering, to mention yet another unique combination. And optional Dynamic Drive Control, finally, allows individual set-up of the suspension according to the driver’s wishes.

The driver assistance systems available for the first time in the context of BMW ConnectedDrive include the Parking Assistant, Surround View, a proximity warning system with initiation of the brakes in conjunction with Active Cruise Control incorporating Stop & Go, and a Speed Limit Device.
In addition, the BMW 5 Series Sedan is available with further options such as Lane Change Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Info, a Head-Up Display, BMW Night Vision able to detect even individual persons, and a back-up camera.
