Engine & Transmission
The 5 Series boasts a mild-hybrid powertrain (MHEV) with a 2.0-liter, inline-4, turbocharged engine (B48B20O2). Delivering 255 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, it's paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Key features include a twin-power turbo setup, intercooler, direct injection, and VALVETRONIC/Double-VANOS valvetrain technology. The car's front and rear suspension utilize coil springs, double wishbones, and multi-link designs, while the drivetrain architecture allows for mixed-mode operation of the ICE and electric motor. It's designed for a balance of performance and efficiency.
