The BMW 5 Series is again on the top of the executive saloons segment and giving a strong competition to the ultra-modern Mercedes E-Class and Jaguar XF. The state-of-the-art, seventh generation of the 5 series saloon indicates the manufacturer hasn’t been resting on the 5 series colossal laurels, though, as its larger, longer and wider as well as higher in power generation with new refined BMW 5 series engines which are more cost effective and extra luxuriously chosen than those used in the predecessor model line-up of the 5 series.
From start, there are two diesel engines and two petrol engines offered but it is least not the last because a couple of options are about to come and join the series in 2017. The all new seventh generation kicks off with the ever admired and trendy BMW 520d diesel engines. The 520d is the top seller in the 5 series models and BMW produces the most numbers of 520d models than other models.
It is the pick of the diesel range and has all the right boxes ticked on the wish list of a driver. Partly BMW 530dbecause of its exceptional fuel economy figures of just under 70 miles per gallon and partly because of its brisk adeptness and speed on the road, with 0-62mph taking slightly over seven seconds.
A much more frugal 520d EfficientDynamics is due later too. Although, the strong is a reasonably faster and now not reasonably priced, however it’s noticeably extra high-priced to purchase.
Although 5 series is famous for its 520d diesel engines but if you are attracted by a petrol powered car, you should go for a 530i or a 540i models. Being a modern day’s BMW means a hybrid variant and it is also coming soon. The BMW 530e promises a ultra-efficient mobility solution and over the seven series which is a key hook for business customers.
A speedy BMW 550i appears promising, even as a supercar-rivaling new BMW M5. It is most probably due in 2018. Some materials may have changed with the ultra-modern BMW 5 series; however it remains exceptional-in-class, at the place where driver’s involvement is concerned.
BMW 5 series switches between unforced long-distance cruising and exciting B-road rides like a dream, so however you want to force it, the 5 series obliges with new BMW 5 series petrol engines line up offered on the seventh generation.
We have yet to pressure a petrol-engined 5 series, but BMW lovers should spot the BMW 530i with a 249bhp from a four cylinder engine, whilst the outgoing 530i used a perfect-tender six-cylinder engine.
It will be fascinating to look how this variation affects the overall riding experience, although when you have bought an even expensive variation, the 335bhp BMW 540i nonetheless presents the six-cylinder engines, as well as regular 4-wheel drive.
The 530i takes slightly over 6 seconds to move from zero-62mph, whilst the 540i has just 4.8 seconds. No official safety ratings have been released yet but we are expecting that the 5 series will get five out of five stars on NCAP.
