2016 BMW 5 Series in Brentwood, TN - $0

Athletic ability, efficiency, compulsive allure, and innovations designed to enhance the driving experience: the BMW 5 Series has always contained the signature ingredients of a best-selling BMW model. The formula for success continues with the 7th generation of the most successful premium sedan, the all-new BMW 5 Series.

The 2017 BMW 5 Series has been entirely newly developed allowing for a significant weight loss of up to 137 lbs with the use of aluminum, magnesium and high-strength steel. Thanks to the available state of the art chassis systems including Dynamic Damper Control with Adaptive Mode and Integral Active Steering, now combinable with xDrive, BMW’s intelligent all-wheel drive system, Advanced Driver Assistant Systems and Parking Assistance Systems the all-new BMW 5 Series once more defines the athletic and executive design of a true sport sedan.

At launch, the next-generation rear-wheel drive 5-Series sedan is available in 530i and 540i models. The BMW M550i xDrive, 530e iPerformance and 530e xDrive iPerformance models will be introduced into the marketplace later this year.

The all-new BMW 5 Series Sedan remains the quintessential midsize sport sedan. The exterior dimensions of the new car are only slightly larger than those of its predecessor. The new BMW 5 Series Sedan is 1.2 inches longer than the outgoing model 0.3 inches wider and 0.6 inches taller. Two non-metallic and 11 metallic color shades are available for the new BMW 5 Series. Customers can choose from a total of 4 different light-alloy wheels (18-inch, 19 inch and 20-inch).

The M Sport package will be available from launch. It includes the M Aerodynamic kit (front apron with larger air intakes, side skirt trim, a diffusor-style rear apron and an exhaust system with two rectangular tailpipes), Shadowline exterior trim, lowered M Sport suspension and 19-inch M Double-Spoke Wheels with Mixed Performance Run-Flat Tires or all-season Run-Flat Tires. The interior includes a new M Sport leather steering wheel, a SensaTec upholstered dashboard and aluminum pedal covers and footrest, with exclusive floor mats when selecting the option of Black Dakota Leather with contrast Blue stitching and piping.

Base power for the BMW 5 Series sedan is provided by a new 2.0L twin-turbo four-cylinder engine for (530i) and a 3.0L twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine for (540i). Both engines communicate torque to the pavement through a 8HP50 Steptronic eight-speed automatic transmission. The automaker's xDrive all-wheel-drive system is an available option for both models.

BMW xDrive counteracts oversteer and understeer effectively and increases the car’s pulsating handling abilities when turning into corners and eagerly powering out of corners. The BMW all wheel drive system provides the perfect blend of dynamism, directional stability and comfort. For the first time, BMW xDrive can be combined with Integral Active Steering as well as the lowered M sport suspension included in the M Sport Package.

Inside the passenger cabin, the 5-Series features a new user interface (iDrive 6.0) that includes an 8.8-inch Dynamic Instrument Cluster, available Gesture Control, the latest generation of Head-Up Display, Remote 3D View and an improved Voice Control with natural voice input. The lowered instrument panel, freestanding display, and the cabin’s enlarged dimensions provide additional room and comfort. Passengers in the rear now have more space to spread out, thanks to the increased knee room and extended legroom.

The standard front Sport seats are 16-way electrically adjustable, including adjustable side bolsters for optimum lateral support, and offer tremendous safety and comfort together with a wide choice of materials. Other enhancements include decorative stitching for the optional Dakota and quilting for the optional Nappa leather upholsteries can be selected. The available 20-way adjustable Multi-contour seats for the driver and passenger can be additionally equipped with ventilation and massage function. Eight different massage programs, each with a choice of three intensity modes, relax the muscles in the back and relieve the strain on the spinal discs while driving.

As part of the interior’s acoustic design the headliner is equipped with built-in sound absorbing materials to reduce interfering sounds, which increases the driver and passenger’s ability to communicate. Additional storage spaces in the door pockets, able to hold regular sized bottles, have been created. The cupholders in the center console have been designed to allow easy access control switches. The storage compartment in front of the cupholders can be equipped with an optional wireless charging tray.

There is room for up to three adults on the rear seats. When the middle seat is not occupied, rear seat passengers can make use of the center armrest and its integrated cupholders.
