Unrivalled Dynamics, Uncompromising
Supremacy
• Wide range of engines: four petrol engines, three diesels,
power range from135 kW/184 hp all the way to 300 kW/407 hp.
The new BMW 5 Series Sedan offers Sheer Driving Pleasure in
unique style, remaining faithful to the philosophy of the brand
while nevertheless setting new highlights at the same time. The
sedan is further enhancing its leading position as the most
sporting car in its segment, but also offers even more driving
comfort than its predecessor. This double progress in two areas is
ensured by the most advanced drivetrain and suspension
technology.
The engine range featured in the new BMW 5 Series Sedan boasts
powerful and fast-revving petrol and diesel engines. Specifically,
the range starts at the top with a 300 kW/407 hp V8 petrol unit as
well as straight-six power units extending from 150 kW/204 hp all
the way to 225 kW/306 hp, with a 135 kW/184 hp four-cylinder diesel
rounding off the portfolio from an early point.
The suspension highlights a double track control arm front axle
and the Integral-V rear axle in a combination promoting both
agility and driving comfort and giving the car very harmonious
anti-roll and transitional behaviour.
Optional Dynamic Driving Control enables the driver to adjust
the set-up of the car to his personal preferences and wishes. As a
further option the new BMW 5 Series Sedan may be fitted with
Dynamic Damper Control, electronically controlled Dynamic Drive
anti-roll stability management and, as yet a further innovation in
this class, BMW Integral Active Steering.
Top-of-the-range power unit: V8 petrol engine with
BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology.
The top engine in the new BMW 5 Series Sedan is a V8 petrol unit
with outstanding performance characteristics and efficiency all in
one. Displacing 4.4 litres, this supreme eight-cylinder with BMW
TwinPower Turbo Technology plus High Precision Injection delivers a
supreme 300 kW/407 hp in the speed range between 5,500 and 6,400
rpm. Torque reaches a peak of 600 Newton-metres/442 lb-ft
maintained consistently between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm.
The V8 featured in the new BMW 550i is the most efficient engine
of its kind and, at the same time, the only petrol engine in the
world to feature turbochargers and catalytic converters
conveniently housed in the V-section between the two rows of
cylinders. This alone ensures particularly short distances between
the turbocharger and the intake manifold and, together with the
water-cooled intercoolers, gives the V8 an exceptionally
spontaneous and direct response.
The all-aluminium power unit combines supreme thrust cutting in
at an early point and then continuing throughout a long range with
exceptional smoothness and refinement. The BMW 550i accelerates
from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 5.0 seconds and offers
adequate power reserves also at higher speeds for a continuing
process of smooth and dynamic acceleration.
Top speed is limited to 250 km/h or 155 mph by the electronic
control unit, average fuel consumption of the BMW 550i in the EU
test cycle is 10.4 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 27.2 mpg imp)
and CO2 emissions are 243 grams per kilometre.
Six-cylinder petrol engines: setting the standard
for fast-revving response, smoothness, efficiency and
innovation.
Modern straight-six petrol engines guarantee up-to-date driving
pleasure also in the new BMW 5 Series. The power units in the BMW
535i, the BMW 528i and the BMW 523i all combine spontaneous power
and performance with unique revving qualities, outstanding
efficiency, and supreme smoothness. Delivering 225 kW/306 hp and
offering a unique technological concept, the most powerful
six-cylinder in the new BMW 5 Series clearly confirms both the
sporting character of the sedan and the innovative power of BMW’s
engine development specialists.
Indeed, the 3.0-litre six-cylinder in the BMW 535i is the first
engine to combine BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology, High Precision
Injection, and variable VALVETRONIC valve management. The
turbocharger system applying the TwinScroll principle to separate
the ducts of three cylinders at a time both in the intake manifold
and in the turbocharger itself, as well as VALVETRONIC valve
drive
developed to an even higher standard, ensure a fascinating response
at all times.
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 CO2
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 CO2 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), CO2 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 typicalof a BMW diesel are ensured by an all-aluminium
crankcase, the enhanced turbocharger system with variable turbine
geometry, and the latest generation of common-rail fuel injection.
Fuel is supplied by means of upgraded piezoinjectors now operating
at a maximum pressure of 1,800 bar.
The injectors positioned right in the middle and the valves in
vertical arrangement ensure a smooth and consistent combustion
process, serving to reduce emissions from the engine right from the
start. This superior six-cylinder diesel develops maximum output of
180 kW/245 hp at an engine speed of 4,000 rpm, with peak torque of
540 Nm/398 lb-ft from 1,750 to 3,000 rpm. This kind of power
accelerates the new BMW 530d to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds and gives
the car a top speed of 250 km/h or 155 mph. Average fuel
consumption in the EU test cycle, in turn, is 6.3 litres/100
kilometres (equal to 44.8 mpg imp), with CO2 emissions of 166 grams
per kilometre.
In standard trim the new BMW 530d – just like all other versions
of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan – fulfils the EU5 emission standard.
Equipped with optional BMW BluePerformance technology available
also on this model in conjunction with automatic transmission, the
new BMW 530d offers even better emission management from the diesel
engine. In this case the diesel particulates filter and the
oxidation catalyst housed in the same unit interact with an NOX
storage catalyst for further reduction of nitric oxides in the
exhaust gas.
This high-tech exhaust gas management in the new BMW 530d
already fulfils the requirements of the EU6 standard not coming
into force until 2014. And like the diesel particulates filter, the
NOX storage catalyst does not require any maintenance or additional
operating media throughout the entire service life of the car. The
new BMW 525d is likewise powered by a 3.0-litre straightsix of the
latest generation. In this model the all-aluminium diesel develops
maximum output of 150 kW/204 hp at 4,000 rpm, while maximum torque
increased to 450 Newton-metres/332 lb-ft is maintained consistently
between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm.
With this kind of power and muscle, the engine accelerates the
new BMW 525d from zero to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds and gives the car
a top speed of 236 km/h or 146 mph. Average fuel consumption in the
EU test cycle of 6.2 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 45.6 mpg imp,
and a CO2 emission rating of 162 grams per kilometre, set a new
benchmark for efficiency in a six-cylinder diesel.
Four-cylinder diesel: power up, leadership in
efficiency even greater than before.
The engine range featured in the new BMW 5 Series is rounded off
by an upgraded turbodiesel setting new records in terms of
efficiency in this segment of the market. The 2.0-litre
four-cylinder diesel in the new BMW 520d combines a composite
aluminium crankcase, the latest generation of common-rail direct
fuel injection and a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry.
The increase in power and efficiency over the former model ensured
in this way results from consistent optimisation of the combustion
chambers, the charge system and the cylinder head, as well as the
new arrangement of the ancillary units helping to reduce frictional
losses to an even lower level than before.
Thermodynamically optimised, the charge system in the
four-cylinder diesel engine ensures an optimum flow of power at all
speeds and under all loads. An electric adjuster sets the turbine
blades in the turbocharger to the current load status of the engine
within fractions of a second, the engine thus following the gas
pedal immediately both at low speeds and under full load, whenever
the driver requires maximum power and performance.
The fuel injection system with magnetic valve injectors
operating at a pressure of up to 1,800 bars ensures precise dosage
of fuel as well as a consistent, lowemission combustion process.
Maximum power of the four-cylinder is up 5 kW to 135 kW/184 hp at
an engine speed of 4,000 rpm. Up by 30 to 380 Newton-metres or 280
lb-ft, maximum torque comes all the way from 1,900 to 2,750
rpm.
This accelerates the new BMW 520d to 100 km/h within just 8.1
seconds and gives the car a top speed of 227 km/h or 141 mph
(provisional figures). Average fuel consumption in the EU test
cycle of 5.0 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 56.5 mpg imp) and a
CO2 rating of 132 grams per kilometre (provisional) give the BMW
520d even greater leadership than before as the most efficient car
in its segment.
Optimised six-speed manual gearbox with dry sump
lubrication featured as standard.
Innovative technology ensures enhanced driving pleasure and
optimised efficiency also in transmitting the power of the engine
to the rear wheels of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan. Benefiting from
dry sump lubrication, the six-speed manual gearbox on the BMW 535i,
BMW 525d and BMW 520d has significantly lower drag losses and
avoids oil splash losses completely in the interest of even greater
efficiency.
The new BMW 530d and the BMW 528i and BMW 523i likewise come
with new versions of the six-speed manual gearbox optimised for
efficiency with conventional oil supply. The gearshift lever
re-designed on all models and the shift bars again upgraded in
their standard allow a smooth gearshift with optimum precision and
steady shift forces, bringing out the sporting quality of the
manual gearshift so typical of BMW to an even greater extent than
before.
Significant innovation with unique efficiency:
eight-speed automatic transmission.
The BMW 550i comes as standard with the new eight-speed
automatic transmission featured for the first time in the BMW 760i
twelve-cylinder Luxury Performance Sedan, which is also available
as an option for all other variants of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan.
When fitted, this makes the new BMW 520d the first car in the world
to combine a four-cylinder power unit with an eight-speed automatic
transmission.
This innovative transmission offers a unique combination of
gearshift comfort, sportiness and efficiency at a standard never
seen before, far superior in every respect to the automatic
transmissions and double-clutch gearboxes from the competition.
As yet a further option the new BMW 5 Series Sedan is also
available with a Sport Automatic variant of the eight-speed
transmission allowing manual selection of gears by means of shift
paddles on the steering wheel. The control logic applied in this
case follows the principle already featured on BMW M Cars, the
driver shifting up on the right and down on the left paddle. A
further feature of the Sport Automatic is the special design of the
electronic gearshift lever on the centre console.
The eight-speed automatic transmission boasts a particularly
innovative gearset configuration, four single gearsets and five
shift units interacting to provide the eight forward gears and one
reverse gear. The arrangement of these components to be seen here
worldwide for the first time on an eight-speed automatic
transmission ensures that only two of five clutches are moved along
open in each gear, significantly reducing drag losses in comparison
with the automatic transmissions currently in the market.
With the number of gears being increased to eight, gear
increments when shifting are smaller than before despite the
greater range between the lowest and highest transmission ratio.
While accelerating, the harmonious shift in transmission ratios
ensures a particularly smooth and steady increase in speed, short
reaction and gearshift times versus six-speed automatic
transmission providing even greater comfort and driving dynamics
all in one.
A further advantage is that only one clutch has to be opened
when shifting up or down, while direct detection of the right gear
lane enables the driver to shift the transmission by more than two
gears at a time, again with extremely short reaction and gearshift
times.
The process of shifting down from eighth to second gear when
accelerating spontaneously (kick-down) again comes with a direct
gearshift opening up only one clutch.
