Weight & Capacity
The 5 Series boasts impressive power and torque, reflected in its low weight-to-power (7.8 kg/Hp) and weight-to-torque ratios (6.8 kg/Nm). Its substantial kerb weight (1700kg) allows for a generous maximum load (600kg) and significant towing capacity (up to 2000kg with brakes). The spacious trunk (500-1650L) adds to its practicality, although the fuel tank capacity (70L) might require more frequent fill-ups for long journeys.
The cargo space is quite generous for a station wagon, though the exact capacity would depend on the specific trim level and configuration. It's designed for family use and transporting larger items.
Fuel efficiency varies depending on the engine type and driving style. However, BMW 5 Series models generally offer a good balance of performance and fuel economy.
Safety features vary by model year and trim level, but typically include a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking.
While not explicitly stated, the 0-62 mph time is 8.6 seconds; the 0-60 mph time would be very similar.
It's fairly aerodynamic with a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.33, indicating good fuel efficiency and high-speed stability.
The specs don't specify the engine type. More information is needed to determine this.
Its combined fuel economy is 10.4 l/100km, which is considered relatively low by today's standards.
The CO2 emissions are 251 g/km, indicating a higher environmental impact.
It meets the Euro 4 emission standard, which is an older standard.
The 5 Series utilizes a naturally aspirated, inline 6-cylinder internal combustion engine.
The car is equipped with a 6-speed automatic Steptronic transmission.
This is an all-wheel drive (4x4) vehicle.
It features a hydraulic power steering system with rack and pinion steering.
Ventilated discs are used, measuring 324x30 mm at the front and 320x20 mm at the rear.
