This seventh generation model uses the very latest technology from within BMW to create a saloon that’s more refined than ever before, significantly lighter, safer, and more fuel efficient. Engines sourced from the new generation family of modular Twin Power Turbo units provide impressive performance gains, but also show major advances in reducing fuel consumption and emissions. An extensive suite of driver assistance technologies means that not only does the new BMW 5 Series Saloon reduce the driver’s workload like never before; it also takes a notable step towards fully autonomous driving. With the new BMW 5 Series Saloon, every single facet of the large business saloon has been examined and developed to create the ultimate vehicle of its type.

The new BMW 5 Series will launch with an impressive line-up of engines, from the benchmark 520d to the all new flagship 540i. xDrive all-wheel drive will be offered for the first time on a 5 Series in the UK market and is available from launch on the 520d, 530d and 540i.

Shortly after the new 5 Series Saloon is launched, BMW will add a further two engines to the line-up. Under the bonnet of the BMW 520d SE Efficient Dynamics model lies the most efficient incarnation of the 190hp four-cylinder diesel unit, which helps the saloon to achieve a fuel consumption of 72.4mpg, meaning joint best-in-class CO2 emissions of 102g/km.
