Engine & Transmission
This BMW 5 Series boasts a powerful 2993cc inline-6 turbocharged diesel engine, producing 235hp and a substantial 500Nm of torque. Its all-wheel-drive system, combined with a 6-speed manual transmission, ensures impressive performance and handling. The sophisticated suspension (McPherson strut front and independent coil spring rear) provides a comfortable ride. While the engine is powerful, it's also relatively fuel-efficient given its output. The high compression ratio of 17:1 contributes to this efficiency.
