BMW 5 Series

BMW 5 Series is a car with a good compromise between comfort and stability with the serial configuration. Alternatively, there are two more rigid suspensions and various measures of tires and tires that give it a touch more sports, but detrimental to comfort

Both materials as adjustments, the quality is above average and we find it difficult to make any significant difference compared with a Lexus GS or a Mercedes-Benz E-Class (which are a reference in these aspects). The BMW 5 Series is also the best for the quantity and sophistication of the elements of hardware that may have.

Generally, the range of engines is characterized because consumption is low for the benefits they give (get a good energy fuel). BMW employs some systems in order to achieve a reduction in consumption in the engines of six or eight cylinders.

Since September 2007, a new version BMW 5 Series 520i, which has a gasoline engine with direct injection and 170 hp. It has approved an average consumption of 6.7 litres/100 km, a very low value: there is no car with gasoline and size similar to spend the same or less; even any diesel they spend slightly more (such as the Audi A6 2.7 TDi or Citroen C6).

There are also changes in the BMW 5 Series 520d version: a new engine replaces the previous 177 hp to 166 hp. The average consumption of this version is also very low (5.1 litres/100 km), the same as that of a Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion 1.9 TDI 105 hp, a car specifically developed to achieve a low consumption. To find a car that is spending less should be sought models with smaller engines around 100 hp.

In addition to the manual six relationships that bring all versions of series (except the 535d), two changes are available automatic different. Both are of hydraulic torque converter and six marches, but a box is faster than the other. All versions have rear traction. The total traction xDrive is reserved for versions BMW 5 Series 530xi, 525xi, 525 and xd 530xd.

Among the elements of hardware that can take from the 2007 model year include night vision, with a range of up to 300 metres (comment on this device), an improved iDrive with eight programmable buttons, browser with orders by voice recognition (optional with the browser "Professional"), connection type mini jack and USB to play music and a device warning of involuntary lane-changing ( "LDW" Lane Departure Warning; comment on this device).

You can also keep a programmer-speed braking function or one asset. The latter, only with the automatic change, operates from 0 to 180 km / h. In addition to maintaining the distance (there are four levels to choose) with the vehicle in front, has a role "Stop & Go" to stop the march and restart automatically.

It has an important functional difference compared to the same system that uses Mercedes-Benz: the BMW is not doing anything necessary to restart the march if the car has been arrested less than three seconds (if not, we must step on the accelerator or pressing briefly the key "Resume" the developer).

This device also prepares the brakes for maximum braking power if it detects an obstacle and consider necessary action by the driver (which warns visual and sound) to stop the vehicle, the maximum deceleration that could provide alone is 4 m / s ².
