Engine & Transmission
The 5 Series boasts a potent MHEV powertrain, combining a 375 hp, twin-power turbocharged, 2.998L inline 6-cylinder engine with a mild hybrid system. This setup delivers impressive torque (540 Nm) across a broad rev range, and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Key features include direct fuel injection, VALVETRONIC and Double-VANOS valvetrain technology, and a start/stop system. The car's performance is further enhanced by its sophisticated suspension system, including coil springs, double wishbones, and multi-link rear suspension.

Brakes
This 5 Series model boasts a robust braking system with ventilated discs at both the front and rear, ensuring reliable stopping power. Electric power steering provides responsive handling, complemented by a rack and pinion steering type. The vehicle offers various tire and wheel rim sizes (19, 20, and 21 inches) allowing for customization and potentially different performance characteristics depending on the chosen configuration. The inclusion of ABS further enhances safety.

Battery - Electric / Hybrid
This 5 Series model incorporates a mild hybrid system using a 48V Lithium-ion battery to power a 18 Hp electric motor. The motor, positioned between the combustion engine and transmission, provides 200 Nm (147.51 lb-ft) of torque, likely assisting with acceleration and potentially improving fuel efficiency. While the electric motor's power is relatively low, suggesting a focus on mild hybrid functionality rather than significant electric range, the substantial torque output indicates noticeable support for the internal combustion engine.

Weight & Capacity
The 5 Series boasts impressive power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios (5.3 kg/Hp and 3.7 kg/Nm respectively), suggesting brisk acceleration. Its substantial kerb weight of 1982 kg is balanced by a generous 520-liter trunk and a relatively large 60-liter fuel tank. The high maximum load capacity of 453 kg indicates practicality for carrying passengers and cargo.
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 BMW website for details.
The trunk space is generally ample for a mid-size sedan, but the exact capacity should be verified in the official specifications for the specific model year.
The 5 Series accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.
The top speed is electronically limited to 210 km/h (130.49 mph).
The 5 Series accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds.
City fuel consumption is higher at 9 l/100km (26.13 US mpg).
The EPA combined fuel consumption (8.4 l/100km) is slightly lower than the WLTP range (6.8-7.7 l/100km), likely due to differences in testing procedures.
CO2 emissions range from 156 to 176 g/km, depending on the specific model and driving conditions.
The car uses a 2.998L inline 6-cylinder engine with twin-power turbocharging and an intercooler.
The car is equipped with an 8-speed automatic Steptronic transmission.
No, it's a mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV), meaning it uses a combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor.
Ventilated discs improve braking performance by dissipating heat more effectively, preventing brake fade, especially during high-speed or prolonged braking.
Different tire and rim sizes offer choices impacting handling, ride comfort, and potentially fuel efficiency. Larger rims often mean sportier handling but a harsher ride.
Electric power steering is generally more fuel-efficient and allows for more precise control and customization of steering feel compared to hydraulic systems.
It's a mild hybrid system primarily designed to assist the combustion engine during acceleration and potentially improve fuel economy, not to provide significant electric-only driving.
This is not a plug-in hybrid or a full electric vehicle; it's a mild hybrid system that uses regenerative braking to recharge the battery.
With only 18 Hp, expect minimal or no electric-only range. The system's focus is on assisting the combustion engine, not providing independent electric propulsion.
Fuel efficiency isn't in the specs, but the 60L tank suggests potential for longer range between fill-ups. Actual efficiency depends on driving style and conditions.
Towing capacity isn't specified. Consult the owner's manual or a dealer for this information.
The 520-liter trunk offers ample space for a family's luggage, but the exact suitability depends on the size and number of bags.
