Battery - Electric / Hybrid
The 5 Series is a mild hybrid vehicle, featuring a small 0.9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a 48V system. The electric motor, located longitudinally in the front, produces 11 horsepower and 25 Nm (18.44 lb-ft) of torque. This setup likely provides a mild boost to the engine's performance and some regenerative braking capabilities, but the limited battery capacity suggests a primarily gasoline-powered vehicle with minimal electric-only range.

Weight & Capacity
The 5 Series boasts impressive power and torque figures, reflected in its favorable weight-to-power and weight-to-torque ratios. With a substantial kerb weight and a generous maximum load capacity, it offers practicality alongside performance. The fuel tank is adequately sized, and the trunk provides ample cargo space. Overall, it presents a well-balanced package.
Fuel efficiency varies depending on the engine and driving style. Check the official BMW website or EPA estimates for specific figures.
The 5 Series typically includes a comprehensive suite of safety features, including advanced driver-assistance systems. Specific features vary by model year and trim level; consult the official specifications.
The trunk space is generally ample for a mid-size sedan, but the exact capacity should be verified in the official specifications as it can vary slightly depending on the model year and options.
The top speed is electronically limited to 210 km/h (approximately 130 mph).
It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.
Yes, the acceleration is very similar whether measured in mph or km/h, indicating consistent performance.
City fuel consumption is around 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers (28 US mpg).
CO2 emissions range from 144 to 165 grams per kilometer.
WLTP combined fuel consumption (6.3-7.2 l/100km) is slightly better than the EPA combined estimate (7.6 l/100km).
The car utilizes a mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) system, which assists the internal combustion engine (ICE).
The car is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission (Steptronic).
The engine requires 5.25 liters of oil.
Ventilated discs improve braking performance by dissipating heat more effectively, preventing brake fade, especially during high-speed or continuous braking.
Staggered fitments (different tire sizes on front and rear axles) are often used to optimize handling and traction, particularly in rear-wheel-drive vehicles.
ABS prevents wheel lockup during braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control and avoid skidding, especially on slippery surfaces.
The extremely limited battery capacity suggests a very short electric-only range, if any at all. This vehicle is primarily a gasoline-powered car with mild-hybrid assistance.
The small battery pack and electric motor are likely used for features like regenerative braking and mild-hybrid assistance to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
No, this car is not suitable for purely electric driving. The battery capacity is too small to provide a significant electric-only range.
Fuel efficiency isn't specified in the data, and will vary based on driving style and conditions. Consult the official manufacturer's specifications for details.
Towing capacity is not listed. Check the owner's manual or the manufacturer's website for the precise towing specifications.
The data indicates 139.1 Hp/tonne, but the total horsepower isn't directly stated. This would depend on the specific 5 Series model and engine configuration.
