  • BMW 5 Series retains global lead in its segment

    25 Jan 2013

    Looks like the BMW 5 Series is not only the top selling model here, but also globally, with 359,016 units sold to customers in 2012.

    The best selling 5 Series adopts different body styles - be it an elegant Sedan, a dynamic Tourer or a luxurious Gran Turismo, yet ensures the best of design, technology, performance and perhaps more importantly - comfort.

    The modern array of powertrains adopting four, six and eight-cylinder engines provides a high level of power besides smooth and efficient operations. For example the BMW 520d EfficientDynamics Edition sips just 4.5 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres. The higher rated 535d contains 313bhp and a maximum torque of 630Nm yet returns a 100km range with just 5.4 litres of diesel.

    As expected of a BMW, the 5er is loaded with technologies to ensure your daily commute has the right mix of sportiness and suspension comfort.

    Some of the technologies include integral active steering that steers the rear wheels and variable steering ratio on the front axle for improved manoeuvrability. Driving Experience Control enables the 'character' of the vehicle to be adjusted within the touch of a button. The well acknowledged xDrive all-wheel drive system, ConnectedDrive, Night Vision and Head-Up Display projects are some of the nifty features available for perspective owners of the 5 Series.

    BMW ensures it creates the ultimate driving machines and the 5 Series is a testament of that.
