THE NEW BMW 5 SERIES TOURING: AESTHETICS, SPORTING APPEAL, MAXIMUM VERSATILITY.
In a few days, the eagerly anticipated new BMW 5 Series Saloon will become available in the showrooms. And in autumn, only six months later, the new BMW 5 Series Touring is scheduled to make its market debut. The fourth generation of this successful executive estate by BMW continues its tradition of superior aesthetics, sporting elegance, unparalleled driving pleasure and maximum versatility in a premium executive-class vehicle. What sets the new BMW 5 Series Touring apart from its predecessor, even at first glance, are its elongated lines and dynamically sloping roofline. Equally apparent: the optimised interior. Here, the new BMW 5 Series Touring offers a uniquely comprehensive range of intelligent details and a versatility that is unmatched in this category. And BMW EfficientDynamics ensures a spate of best-in-class ratings in terms of both performance and fuel efficiency. Rounding off this innovative vehicle are BMW-exclusive driver assistance systems as well as brand-new, unique BMW ConnectedDrive functions. The new BMW 5 Series Touring will have its world premiere at the Auto Mobil International show (AMI) in Leipzig, Germany (1018 April); market launch is scheduled for September 2010.
Design: dynamic, sporty looks and unusual aesthetics.
The long bonnet, short overhangs, the longest wheelbase in the segment, an elongated silhouette and the dynamically sloping roofline ensure that the new BMW 5 Series Touring looks nothing like its competitors. The precise lines and distinctive surfaces extending from the front across the sides all the way to the rear underline the active, sporty looks and unusual aesthetics of this five-door vehicle. Powerful aesthetics: Characteristic design highlights include an athletic shoulder area, a distinctive swage line and the muscular sculpting and concave surfaces below the swage line. Reinterpretation of trademark BMW features: The wide BMW kidney grille stands very upright, even seems to be sloping towards the front from some angles, hinting at the powerful engine under the bonnet. The strongly contoured bonnet combines with the muscular flared wheel arches and horizontal rear lines to underline the cars sporty appeal. Precision down to the last detail: the distinctive Hofmeister kink a key styling element for all BMW models emphasises the dynamic flow of the cars lines. The redesigned optional roof rail is another element that adds interest to the low, athletic appearance of the silhouette, which really serves to set the new BMW 5 Series Touring apart from all its competitors.
Hallmark BMW style: the rear view of the new BMW 5 Series Touring with the muscular flared wheel arches and the characteristic L-shaped taillights.
Sporting elegance: dynamic proportions and precisely sculpted lines immediately set the new BMW 5 Series Touring apart from its competitors.
Interior: premium quality and unmatched versatility.
The interior of the new BMW 5 Series Touring is setting standards through premium quality on the one hand, and driver orientation and great versatility for all occupants on the other. Other characteristic features include the contemporary, generous ambience, a centre console angled slightly towards the steering wheel, and the intuitive functionality of the iDrive system. In addition, this car is offered with a unique range of intelligent details which enable drivers to extend their transport capabilities according to their personal requirements.
Highlights at a glance: As the only vehicle in its category, the new BMW 5 Series Touring is offering a 40/20/40-split folding rear seat backrest (which can be folded down with a 60/40 split from the luggage compartment). This considerably increases flexibility (with competitors only offering 1/3-vs.2/3-split options). By folding down some or all of the elements, the luggage compartment volume can be increased from 560 litres to up to 1,670 litres if necessary. Optional luggage compartment package with a unique backrest tilt function: seat back angles can be adjusted by up to 11 degrees, via 7 different settings. The benefit: a 30-litre increase in capacity, additional space especially for bulkier items, while preserving the rear seats. New: the cassette for the divider net and load area cover can now be released completely with one touch of a button on the right side of the vehicle. Another exclusive feature that comes as standard in the new BMW 5 Series Touring: the separately opening rear window. It now opens automatically via the remote. The load area cover provided as standard is automatically lifted or lowered when opening or closing the tailgate or rear window. The electrically operated tailgate (optional), activated via a button in the vehicle key, provides additional comfort when loading and unloading the vehicle.

Biggest monitor in this class: The iDrive operating system includes the Controller on the centre console, direct menu control buttons and functional bookmarks as well as a Control Display that is harmoniously integrated into the instrument panel, at the same height as the instrument cluster. At a size of up to 10.2 inches, the monitor is the largest in this segment.
Optional luggage compartment package: The rear seat backrest has adjustable tilt angles that ensure a unique degree of versatility. Seat backs can be adjusted by up to 11 degrees, with a total of 7 settings. This corresponds to a 30-litre gain in luggage capacity while creating space for bulkier items.
The luggage compartment also contains an underfloor storage
compartment, covered by a removable floor panel. In addition to the lashing eyes included as standard, the optional luggage compartment package includes attachment rails, a strap to secure luggage, and a storage net.
Engines: maximum driving enjoyment, maximum efficiency.
At the start of production, the engine portfolio for the BMW 5 Series Touring comprises two six-cylinder in-line petrol units, one six-cylinder in-line diesel and a four-cylinder diesel engine, with outputs ranging from 135 kW/184 hp to 225 kW/306 hp. Thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics, almost all engine variants provide more power than their predecessors while also using less fuel and producing fewer CO2 emissions. This makes the BMW 5 Series Touring the sportiest and most efficient vehicle in its category. The BMW 535i Touring is powered by the most powerful six-cylinder engine (3.0-litre capacity, 225 kW/ 306 hp). The combination of BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, direct petrol injection and variable VALVETRONIC valve lift control is unique.

When equipped with optional BMW BluePerformance technology, the BMW 530d Touring (with automatic transmission) already complies with the EU6 emissions standard. Thanks to its advanced four-cylinder diesel engine, Auto Start/Stop function included as standard, and an output of 135 kW/184 hp, the BMW 520d Touring manages new best-in-class efficiency ratings in its category. It requires an average of just 5.2 litres per 100 kilometres in the EU test cycle. CO2 emissions are a mere 137 g/km.
High on torque, low on emissions: the 3.0-lite six-cylinder in-line diesel engine in the new BMW 530d delivers 180 kW/245 hp. When equipped with optional BluePerformance technology, the automatic transmission model already complies with the EU6 emissions standard.

BMW EfficientDynamics: maximum driving enjoyment in combination with a comprehensive features package designed to lower fuel consumption and emissions. The recuperation display in the cockpit indicates the status of the Brake Energy Regeneration system.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate: the design of this five-door estate is dominated by its overly pronounced wedge shape
Classic style: the interior of the Mercedes E-Class offers a generous sense of space and a traditional ambience.
Lots of room, but little dynamic flair: the steep tailgate of the E-Class Estate represents the brands classic estate look. The Mercedes scores with its large luggage capacity, but cannot quite match the versatility of the new BMW 5 Series Touring.

BMW 5 Series Touring Contemporary premium executive estate with superior aesthetics, sporting elegance, exceptional performance and fuel economy and many innovative engineering features.
Audi A6 Avant: The family resemblance is as conspicuous as the large bland surfaces which make the design appear static.
Audi A6 Avant This Audi estate has been on the market since 2005 and is beginning to show its age, despite a facelift in 2008. Less prestigious than the BMW 5 Series Touring. Audi A6 Avant conforming very strongly to the typical Audi look. Low level of differentiation from other Audi model series like the A4. Many large and bland surfaces make for a static appearance. Very generous sense of space, good workmanship. The cockpit, however, appears overly cluttered with many switches and buttons, and the MMI system is very complex. Rear seat bench with only a 40/60-split and no backrest angle adjustment, no activation of the folding mechanism from the luggage compartment, no separately opening rear window.

Characteristic model design language with individual interpretations giving the new BMW 5 Series Touring its unique identity. Precisely executed design details. Modern ambience, generous sense of space, high-quality materials and very elegant, tidy cockpit with a focus on the driver. Standard equipment includes iDrive, the most intuitive, user-friendly system in this category. Smart details for superior versatility.
Brand-specific ambience: the interior of the Audi A6 combines a generous sense of space and good workmanship with a cluttered operating system and many switches.
A familiar sight: the rear of the Audi A6 Avant looks much like that of other Audi models. Compared to the new BMW 5 Series Touring, the luggage compartment is less versatile.

Audi A6 Avant steering is affected by torque steer caused by the frontwheel drive; more powerful engines only available in conjunction with allwheel drive (increased weight and fuel consumption). Inferior to the new BMW 5 Series Touring in terms of agility and comfort. No innovative features such as Head-up Display, BMW ConnectedDrive or Integral Active Steering; many engineering features off the VW Group shelves.

Exterior design

The focus of the BMW 5 Series LCI is on harmonisation with the current BMW product portfolio. The design-related changes underline the BMW 5 Series LCIs unique personality as well as the cars unmistakable optical connection with the BMW family. Summary of changes: new front bumper* / kidney grille / headlight clusters / fog-lights
new side rocker panel (sill panel) new rear bumper* / rear lamp units / inclusion of number plate surround trim / smaller exhaust cut-outs new centre console design with more storage new interior door panel design new engines or increased power / reduced fuel consumption / emissions new automatic transmission design / new sport automatic transmission enhanced specification new wheels / paint colours / upholsteries / options enhanced iDrive graphics / new screen layouts

The Front starting point of flowing lines. The front end is the starting point of all flowing lines, which extend from the bonnet to the sides and well into the rear of the BMW 5 Series in one integral movement. The characteristic contours of the headlights underline the dynamic, selfconfident personality of the BMW 5 Series. Modifications were made to the lower enclosure of the double kidney grille in the front valance. As a result of the deliberate omission of a formal link, the double kidney appears more powerful and autonomous.
The air inlet is wider. Its modified exterior with integrated fog-lights bears an optical resemblance to the headlight cluster.

clear glass sets off the high-quality technical look of the headlights chrome surrounds underline the focussed expression transparent slats with a high-quality appearance conceal indicators
Whilst the characteristic exterior shape of the headlights has been retained, their interior was changed completely. The light conductor rod at the top of the headlight is enclosed by a mattfinish cover. When not illuminated, it conceals the active side marker (positioning light) and underlines the focussed expression of the headlights.
The sidelight conductor rings give a night-time appearance that has become a trade-mark BMW design feature (which first appeared in the ESeries in 2000). The light source of the indicators is concealed by transparent slats, which pick-up the exterior line-flow and underline the distinctive headlight appearance. LCI

The moderate interpretation of convex-concave surfaces on the side imparts an impression of lightness and elegance. The striking light reflecting edge of the rocker panel line optically stretches the silhouette of the BMW 5 Series LCI and picks-up the lower lines from both the front and rear valance.

The rear Powerful emphasis on width.
The small number plate recess is clearly defined and accentuates the powerful rear end. Both taillights are linked by a dominant line, which creates an optical subdivision of the bumper area. The tailpipe cut-out is smaller to reflect more light and defined contour lines create a more flowing convex-concave bumper design.

Corresponding to the headlight changes, the taillight interior has also been revised. Clear glass shows off the light technology. The modern LED flashing lights are a particular striking detail of the new intricate taillight design. The five radial light conductor rods underline the affiliation to the BMW family particularly at night when illuminated. As with the headlights the rear lights now incorporate rear active side markers (positioning lights).

Engines 523i/525i/530i

All 6-cylinder petrol engines will now be powered by the new N53 engine which combines dynamic and sophisticated driving performance with efficient fuel consumption and reduced emissions. The HPI combustion process (Highprecision direct injection) in the N53 is characterised by its central location of the injector and spark plug in the combustion chamber. The location of these components and the piezo technology of the injector enable a reduction in fuel consumption by an average of 14% compared to VALVETRONIC in the NG6 engines (eg. N52 engine). Innovations of the new N53 engine High-precision direct injection with 200bar pressure Piezo injector High pressure pump Magnesium crankcase Electrical water pump Oil level sensor Differentiated suction unit (DISA) BI-VANOS
