BMW 5 Series Limousine – sporty, cultivated and
unmistakable. It is obvious at very first sight that the
new BMW 5 Series Limousine with its elegant and
powerfully styled body represents BMW’s dynamic
business class. The new saloon combines more
space and comfort with less weight, lower fuel con-
sumption and enhanced performance. Its sophisti-
cated technical concept and the weight-saving
aluminium/steel composite structure of its body
give the BMW 5 Series its typical sporty, dynamic
character.
The new 5 Series was launched in July 2003
with the 520i, 530i and 530d models; they were
followed in the autumn by the 525i and 545i models
.
The BMW 5 Series engines are smooth-running,
efficient power units with state-of-the-art tech-
nology.
All models are fitted with a six-speed manual
gearbox or six-speed automatic transmission. In
the BMW 520i, 525i and 530i, straight-six engines
with 125 kW/170 bhp, 141 kW/192 bhp and
170kW/231 bhp respectively ensure dynamic per-
formance. The BMW 525d and 530d have sporting
engines with second-generation common rail diesel
technology, developing a maximum output of
130kW/177 bhp and 160 kW/218 bhp respectively.
Both engines are equipped with particle filters as
standard and meet the strict EU4 emission require-
ments. The most powerful model is the BMW 545i,
driven by an 8-cylinder engine with 245 kW/333 bhp.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h ranges from
9.0 seconds in the BMW 520i to 5.8 seconds in
the 545i. The diesel engine in the 530d has a maxi-
mum torque of 500 Nm and accelerates from 0 to
100 km/h in 7.1 seconds.
The world’s first Active Steering, available as
option, offers a high standard of driving comfort. It
adapts steering transmission to current driving speed.
The driver benefits from reduced steering effort in
the low to medium speed range and more indirect
steering at higher speeds. The Head-Up Display is
another highlight. This innovation projects important
information such as speed or navigation instructions
onto the windscreen, directly in the driver’s line of
vision. Adaptive headlights effectively illuminate
the road ahead, including bends, and thus increase
driving comfort and safety.
