Munich. BMW 5 Series range: even more efficient thanks to BMW TwinPower Turbo.
The BMW 5 Series range builds on its leading position in the areas of
design, sporting capability, comfort and efficiency with an extended
range of engines. The BMW 520d EfficientDynamics Edition, for example,
represents the epitome of efficiency in a premium executive class car.
The Sedan is powered by a 135 kW/184 hp four-cylinder diesel
engine, yet its average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is just
4.5 litres per 100 kilometres (62.8 mpg imp). New four-cylinder
engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology add further talent to the
line-up of petrol and diesel powerplants. The eight-cylinder engine
under its bonnet makes the BMW 550i Touring the flagship five-door
variant of the 5 Series family. A new highlight from
BMW
ConnectedDrive, meanwhile, is the hands-free tailgate/rear window
opening function – an additional string to the Comfort Access
option’s bow.
In addition, the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo can be ordered with an M Sport package from autumn 2011, and new options from the BMW Individual range are also available for this model.
