(from BMW Press
Release) The New Long-Wheelbase BMW 5 Series Sedan.
Munich. World premiere of the new long-wheelbase BMW 5 Series Sedan:
Developed and built exclusively for the Chinese car market, this
truly exclusive sedan sets new standards in aesthetics, driving
pleasure and comfort in the premium business sedan segment. Through
its sporting but elegant design, the new long-wheelbase BMW 5 Series
Sedan is truly impressive from every angle, pampering particularly
the passengers at the rear with luxury class space and innovative
features also typical of the luxury class.
New straight-six power units and a wide range of BMW
EfficientDynamics technologies ensure superior sportiness combined
with trendsetting efficiency. Sophisticated suspension technology
ensures significant progress both in driving comfort and dynamic
handling. The new long-wheelbase BMW 5 Series Sedan is built at
BMW’s plant in Shenyang in cooperation with a large number of
regional partners.
Design: sporting elegance in
individual style.
The highly expressive
front end, the elegantly stretched silhouette and the powerfully
chiselled rear end give the new long-wheelbase BMW 5 Series Sedan a
truly unmistakable look. Individual design features along the
roofline and the side view of the car ensure that the long-wheelbase
version with its wheelbase up by 14 centimetres or 5.5” again offers
the right balance of proportions. The long side windows, for
example, give the C-pillar a particularly slender and dynamic
appearance, the coupé-like, flowing roofline comes out even more
convincingly through the sheer length of the car. The characteristic
daytime driving lights generated by LED light rings in conjunction
with the optional xenon headlights, as well as the L-shaped rear
lights with their homogeneous rows of lights, again contribute to
that very special look so characteristic of BMW.
Interior: clear orientation
towards the driver at the front,
luxurious grand touring comfort at the rear.
The interior of the new
long-wheelbase BMW 5 Series Sedan combines the driver-oriented
cockpit and the high-tech instrument cluster in Black Panel
technology with a truly luxurious ambience, lots of space at the
rear, and exclusive model features. The new long-wheelbase sedan
comes with a high-comfort rear seat bench developed specifically for
this model. Supreme grand touring comfort is ensured, among other
things, by options such as four-zone automatic air conditioning,
rear-seat entertainment, a cooling box as well as electrically
adjustable sunblinds on the rear side windows and a folding table
integrated in the backrest of the front passenger’s seat, unique
features unparalleled by the competition.
Driving experience: superior
sportiness, supreme comfort.
Benefiting from the most
advanced drivetrain and suspension technology, the new model offers
significantly greater sportiness and comfort over its predecessor.
The range of engines comprises three straight-six power units
developing between 150 kW/204 hp and 225 kW/306 hp maximum output. A
unique feature in this segment is the combination of a double
wishbone front axle and the integral rear axle tailored to each
individual model. And on the top-of-the-range BMW 535Li, Dynamic
Drive Control allows an individual set-up of the car.
BMW EfficientDynamics for
outstanding fuel economy and emission management.
All versions of the new
long-wheelbase BMW 5 Series Sedan come as standard with eight-speed
automatic transmission making an additional contribution to the
car’s efficiency just like EPS Electric Power Steering. The
highlights of BMW EfficientDynamics on board the car include Brake
Energy Regeneration, on-demand control of ancillary units, and
active air flap control. Fuel consumption and CO2 are down versus
the previous models by up to 18 per cent.
Innovative driver assistance
systems from BMW ConnectedDrive.
BMW ConnectedDrive
offers features such as BMW Night Vision able to detect individual
persons, the BMW Parking Assistant and Lane Departure Warning, that
is driver assistance technologies of the highest standard. Another
option exclusive to BMW in this segment is the Head-Up Display.
Developed exclusively for China,
built at BMW Plant Shenyang.
The new long-wheelbase
BMW 5 Series Sedan has been developed exclusively for the Chinese
automobile market. In its features and qualities, it specifically
follows the requirements made of a truly outstanding business sedan
in the premium segment. Production at BMW Plant Shenyang, on the
other hand, follows the high, worldwide standards of the BMW Group
in terms of quality, safety, and sustainability. Significant
investments were made for production of the new model in the
expansion and modernisation of production facilities, and
additional, specially trained employees have been hired to build the
car. Close and intense cooperation with local production partners
and suppliers, finally, convinces BMW that Plant Shenyang offers
significant input for the intelligent creation of values.
