The new BMW 5 Series Touring.

Like the recently launched new BMW 5 Series Sedan, the second body
variant in this tradition-steeped model range also impresses with an
exceptional display and operating concept, trailblazing assistance
systems and stand-out advances in digital connectivity.

“The BMW 5 Series Touring was developed specifically for the European
market, where it has enjoyed great success over the last 25 years. I
am sure that the versatility of this new, fifth generation will prove
even more popular with those customers who appreciate the 5 Series
Touring’s characteristic roomy, variable loading space combined with
its distinguished appearance and – of course – its BMW-typical driving
dynamics,” says Dr Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management at
BMW AG, Sales and Marketing.

The new BMW 5 Series Touring celebrates its world premiere in March
2017 at the Geneva International Motor Show. Four engines from the BMW
Group’s latest generation of power units will be available to order
when sales begin in June 2017, while the BMW xDrive intelligent
all-wheel-drive system will be fitted in two models from day one.
Additional variants with both classical rear-wheel drive and all-wheel
drive will join the line-up over the course of the year.

Weight reduced, agility enhanced, efficiency optimised.

The sporty driving characteristics of the new BMW 5 Series Touring
are the product of new chassis technology and a commitment to reducing
weight. Rear air suspension with automatic self-levelling is part of
standard specification. Included on the options list, meanwhile, are
Dynamic Damper Control, the Adaptive Drive system with active roll
stabilisation, Integral Active Steering (now available in conjunction
with xDrive) and M Sport suspension with a ten-millimetre drop in ride height.

The suspension side members and tailgate are now made from aluminium,
which is also employed alongside high-strength steels in many other
chassis components and the extremely torsionally-stiff body. This use
of materials, together with the efficient drive-system technology
already mentioned and optimised aerodynamics, results in fuel
consumption and emissions 11 per cent lower than the figures recorded
by the new 5 Series Touring’s predecessor.


Athletic design for a versatile sports machine.

With surface contouring that creates a clearly defined athletic build
and dynamically stretched lines, the exterior design of the new BMW 5
Series Touring clearly expresses the blend of sportiness and
versatility for which this model is renowned. Precise contours mark
out the front end of the new Touring, and the standard LED headlights
extend up to the forward-surging BMW kidney grille. The flanks,
meanwhile, combine the car’s distinctive geometry with harmonious
proportions. Another contributor to the sporting aura exuded by the
new BMW 5 Series Touring is its long roofline, flowing into heavily
raked D-pillars. The rear window is framed by a roof spoiler with
integrated auxiliary brake light and air deflectors at the sides.
Lower down, a series of prominent horizontal lines and the L-shaped
rear lights reaching deep into the car’s flanks accentuate the body’s width.


Improved spaciousness and intelligent functionality.

Inside the new BMW 5 Series Touring, a driver-focused cockpit design
shares the stage with the premium ambience generated by a combination
of contemporary elegance, precisely finished high-quality materials
and a devotion to detail. The instrument panel rises up less
prominently than in the outgoing 5 Series Touring, helping to create a
generous feeling of space. The Control Display now comes in
freestanding, flatscreen form. All seats benefit from appreciably
greater head-, shoulder- and legroom, while optimised backrest
contours, longer seat surfaces and extended kneeroom elevate comfort
for the rear passengers. Further upgrades to the soundproofing
provided by the windscreen, headliner and load compartment raise the
acoustic comfort on board the new BMW 5 Series Touring to sedan
levels. The increase in interior width allows up to three child seats
to be fixed securely and comfortably across the rear.

The boot capacity of the new BMW 5 Series Touring has grown to
570 – 1,700 litres and its permissible load by up to 120 kilograms,
depending on the model variant (to 720 – 730 kilograms). Similarly
impressive is the high degree of functionality rooted in an array of
practical details, such as the 40 : 20 : 40 split/folding rear seat
backrest, electric remote backrest release (operated by pressing a
button in the boot), separately-opening rear window and automatic
tailgate operation – which, as an option, allows hands-free opening
and closing. The load compartment cover and luggage partition net are
now contained in separate cartridges that can be stowed away in
matching recesses underneath the load compartment floor.


Driving pleasure, just as you like it: four engines and BMW
xDrive available from launch.

The engines available to customers from the market launch of the new
BMW 5 Series Touring boast BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and combine
enhanced performance with reduced fuel consumption and emissions. The
2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine under the bonnet of the new BMW
530i Touring generates maximum output of 185 kW/252 hp and peak torque
of 350 Nm (258 lb-ft). The BMW 530i Touring comes as standard with an
eight-speed Steptronic transmission and sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62
mph) in 6.5 seconds. Its combined fuel consumption stands at 6.3 –
5.8 litres per 100 kilometres (44.8 – 48.7 mpg imp)* and CO2 emissions
are 143 – 133 grams per kilometre*.

A 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line petrol engine, eight-speed
Steptronic transmission and intelligent all-wheel-drive system team up
to whisk the new BMW 540i xDrive Touring down the driver’s road of
choice. Output rising to 250 kW/340 hp and peak torque of 450 Nm (332
lb-ft) deliver acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.1 seconds.
The BMW 540i xDrive Touring posts combined fuel consumption of 7.7 –
7.3 litres per 100 kilometres
(36.7 – 38.7 mpg imp)* and CO2
emissions of 177 – 167 grams per kilometre*.

The four-cylinder engine in the new BMW 520d Touring extracts
140 kW/190 hp and peak torque of 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) from its 2.0-litre
displacement. This diesel unit teams up as standard with a six-speed
manual gearbox, but can also be specified with an eight-speed
Steptronic transmission as an option. The BMW 520d Touring powers from
0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.0 seconds (automatic: 7.8 seconds), but
the exceptional efficiency of its engine also allows it to record
combined fuel consumption of 4.9 – 4.5 litres (4.7 – 4.3 litres) per
100 kilometres /
57.6 – 62.8 mpg imp (60.1 – 65.7 mpg imp)* and
CO2 emissions of
129 – 119 grams (124 – 114 grams) per kilometre*.

Rounding off the line-up of engines available from launch is a
3.0-litre straight-six diesel unit producing maximum output of
195 kW/265 hp and peak torque of 620 Nm (457 lb-ft). This engine can
send its power through either the rear wheels or xDrive all-wheel
drive, and links up with the eight-speed Steptronic transmission. The
BMW 530d Touring completes the dash from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.8
seconds, the BMW 530d xDrive Touring in 5.6 seconds. Combined fuel
consumption is 5.1 – 4.7 l/100 km
(55.4 – 60.1 mpg imp) / 5.7 –
5.3 l/100 km (49.6 – 53.3 mpg imp)* and CO2 emissions come in at 134
–124 or 149 –139 grams per kilometre*.

Operating system: extremely intuitive, more versatile than ever.

The high-resolution, up to 10.25-inch Control Display used by the
iDrive operating system comes in touchscreen form in the new BMW 5
Series Touring. As before, the vehicle, navigation, communication and
infotainment functions can also be operated using the Touch
Controller, should the driver prefer. The new tile-look menu display
helps ensure intuitive usability and minimal distraction from what is
happening on the road. Lending additional variety to the options
available for operating the car’s functions are the further developed
voice command technology and the gesture control system now also
available in the BMW 5 Series. With its 70 per cent larger projection
surface, the latest-generation BMW Head-Up Display represents another
step forward for the car’s display and operating concept.

Ongoing progress towards automated driving.

The new BMW 5 Series Touring is the latest model to point the way to
automated driving with the help of new assistance systems and extended
functionality. Contributing to the relentless progress in this area
are Crossing traffic warning and Priority warning, Lane Change
Assistant and Lane keeping assistant with active side collision
protection, and the evasion aid. The new systems provide steering and
lane control assistance from walking speed up to 210 km/h (130 mph),
ensuring additional comfort and offering a helping hand in challenging
driving situations. With the Active Cruise Control with StopGo
function activated, the driver can now factor in speed restrictions
detected by the Speed Limit Info system by simply pressing a button.

Personal mobility assistant and intelligent parking space searches.

The new BMW 5 Series Touring also features BMW Connected, which
provides a seamless bridge between the car and its driver’s
smartphone. This technology assists drivers with their personal
appointment and mobility planning – both on the road and at their home
or workplace. For example, navigation destinations can be sent into
the car from the user’s smartphone and the ideal departure time
calculated using Real Time Traffic Information. Added to which, Remote
3D View allows users to access images of the area around their car on
their smartphone. And users can manage their calendar, e-mail and
contact details via Microsoft Exchange. Wireless smartphone
integration also enables the use of Apple CarPlay and is complemented
by an inductive charging facility.

The new and comprehensive parking systems also enhance comfort. In
addition to the Parking Assistant, the new BMW 5 Series Touring is now
available with the Remote Control Parking function. Plus, drivers can
also take advantage of the ParkNow service enabling online reservation
of parking spaces and cashless payment. And the innovative On-Street
Parking Information service helps users to find vacant on-street
parking spaces.
