The
all-new BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase
The all-new BMW 5
Series evolves the character of the dynamic business sedan in an impressive
fashion, bringing a new expression of modernity, presence and clarity to the
established attributes and different ways of experiencing it.
The exterior of
the new BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase is about motion and strikingly sporty
character. The car has a steeply sloping A-pillar, gently flowing roof line
towards the rear and slightly sloping luggage compartment line, creating
an elegant and dynamic 2.5 box design. Length: 5,165 mm, width:
2,156 mm, height: 1,518 mm and wheelbase: 3,105 mm make the all-new BMW 5 Long
Wheelbase the biggest car in the segment. The BMW kidney grille,
stylistically inspired by the so-called ‘Sharknose’ and projecting far forward,
functions as the visual centre of the vehicle front. With its wide surround
and BMW Iconic Glow contour line lighting, the BMW kidney
grille gives the front view a distinctively dynamic and sporty appeal. The
side flanks have a pronounced athletic look thanks to the two visually distinct
character lines, a high shoulder line and the prominent muscular look above the
rear wheel. The fixed Panoramic glass roof connects almost the
entire roof surface with its dark glass surface and gives the side view a more
dynamic look. The newly interpreted Hofmeister kink is
shallower and broader with an elegantly embossed ‘5’ badging. The
kidney grille surround, front bumper stripes, rear bumper accents and window
graphics (frame, mirror base and C-pillar trim) are available in two exclusive
finishes – Titanium Bronze and Aluminium. Black side skirts, flush-mounted
door openers, 5 pattern welcome carpet light and the 18-inch light
alloy wheels / 19-inch M alloy wheels with tubeless
tyres are further eye catchers. Adaptive LED headlights with
the hallmark four-eye face with vertical strips set the scene for new, visually
appealing daytime running lights. The slim LED taillights feature
the hallmark L-shaped with an innovative ‘twin light’ design emphasizing the
car’s width.
The interior of
the BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase creates an ideal environment for enjoying
hallmark BMW driving pleasure and comfort in everyday traffic and long-distance
journeys. Generous space, innovative equipment with modern functionality, and
fine workmanship optimize the travelling comfort and characterize the ambience
of the all-new BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase as a dynamic business sedan for
digital age. Comfort seats with perforated vegan leather
upholstery have active seat ventilation at the front and the rear seats have an
increased knee room (+71mm). Cabin temperature can be individually adjusted
with Four zone air conditioning. Bowers & Wilkins
Surround Sound System has an exceptional audio experience at concert
hall level. Additionally, first 500 customers of the 5 will get individually
customized headrest cushions in the rear.
Adopted directly
from the BMW 7 Series, the driver-oriented BMW Curved Display and BMW
Interaction Bar with touchscreen functionality define the revolutionary cockpit
design. The BMW Curved Display consists of a 12.3-inch
Information Display behind the steering wheel and a Control Display with
14.9-inch screen. They merge into a single fully digital and high- resolution
display unit. The illuminated BMW Interaction Bar looks like a
piece of crystal jewellery. It extends below the trim strip across the entire
width of the dashboard, far into the door panels. It integrates the ambient
light, AC controls and almost invisible air vents into an aesthetic experience.
The latest BMW
Operating System 8.5 offers all the possibilities for interaction
between occupants and the vehicle – using touch or voice. It is complemented by
the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant system that adopts
driver’s individual habits and proactively provides useful tips on driving
functions. Regular Remote Software Upgrades ensure that the car is always up to
date.
MyBMW
App functions include popular options for keeping
an eye on the current vehicle status at all times. The innovative digital key
services turn any smartphone into a car key and can be transferred up to 4
additional users, along with their personal vehicle settings. One can remotely
lock/unlock and configure top speed, engine power, audio and
more. Wireless Apple CarPlay® / Android Auto for smartphone opens up
access to a range of functions and apps.
The new control
panel on the center console has - iDrive Controller, new gear selector switch,
start/stop button, My Modes buttons, volume control and buttons for controlling
other vehicle functions. Additionally, CraftedClarity visually
enhances the interior and consists of a handmade crystal glass element for selected
controls. An interior camera can take photos and record videos
including sound and also via the smartphone through the MyBMW app. Wireless
mobile charging trays are integrated in the front console and rear armrest
along with multiple USB-C ports.
Travel
& Comfort System provides
entertainment on personal devices with WiFi Hotspot using a personal e-sim. In
addition, mounting options are available for tablets/personal devices to serve
as rear entertainment screens.
Thanks to the
unrivalled BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the petrol engine
melds maximum power with exemplary efficiency and offers spontaneous
responsiveness even at low engine speeds. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder
petrol engine of the all-new BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase produces an
output of 190 kW / 258 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm at 1,500 – 2,500 rpm.
Additionally, the engine features a 48V Electrical Motor with a power output of
11 hp and torque output of 25 Nm to achieve better efficiency and dynamics. The
car accelerates from 0 -100 km / hr in just 6.5 seconds with a
top speed of 250 km/h.
The 8-speed
Steptronic transmission performs smooth, almost imperceptible
gearshifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates perfectly
with the engine, enabling it to develop its full power and efficiency. Comfort
Suspension gives a luxurious ride with minimum body roll giving a high
degree of stability with sporty dynamics.
