So if you don't have iDrive.
And if you don't have an iPhone.

You have a hole?

And if you don't have an iPhone.

You have a hole?

Or extra storage space as it is intended to be known as.

In terms of how we term concepts there are two categories.
Production Concepts for new markets. They want to showcase the 6er Shooting Brake , 3er Gran Turismo and the X4.
And in terms of existing markets - An X3 Active Hybrid, and the M5.
Visionary Concepts like the Efficient Dynamics and both the Mega City Vehicle and Spyder Stradale Z car.

All this is for 2011?.

Surprised to see the yellow interior parts in the z4, thought that was only possible through the Individual catalogue.

Press release

The new BMW 5 Series Touring. Efficiency meets driving pleasure, elegance meets versatility.

The new BMW 5 Series Touring is the perfect symbiosis of driving pleasure, efficiency, versatility and sporting elegance. The 4th generation of the Business Touring convinces through powerful design aesthetics, modern premium-level functionality and brand-typical driving dynamics combined with exemplary efficiency. Extensive comfort and safety features, which include numerous BMW-exclusive driver assistance systems, substantiate the outstanding qualities of the new BMW 5 Series Touring as an upper midrange touring car.

Design: individual styling, sporting elegance.

The design of the new BMW 5 Series Touring is characterised by a high
level of individuality with regard to its proportions and surface design. Its uniqueness is reflected by dynamic and powerful looks. With its long bonnet, short overhangs, the longest wheelbase in its segment, the stretched silhouette and a steeply inclined roofline, the new BMW 5 Series Touring possesses an elegance unrivalled by its competitors.

Versatility: intelligent solutions for modern functionality.

Thanks to a multi-functional interior and intelligent detail solutions, the new BMW 5 Series Touring is fully equipped to meet the most diverse demands. The luggage compartment has a capacity of 560 litres. If desired, an increase in capacity to a maximum of 1,670 litres is guaranteed by 40 : 20 : 40 split folding rear seats, which are unique in this segment. The backrest angle is variable by up to 11 degrees. The backrest can be folded down using two control levers inside the luggage compartment, the loading space cover of which is automatically lowered when the tailgate is closed. The separately opening rear window automatically swings upwards at the push of a button.

The driving experience:
supreme dynamics and outstanding comfort.

The most advanced drivetrain and suspension technologies ensure supreme sportiness and a higher level of motoring comfort. Optional Dynamic Driving Control enables drivers to set the suspension individually to their personal requirements. The new BMW 5 Series Touring features as standard pneumatic suspension on the rear axle, including automatic self-levelling. Adaptive Drive and Integral Active Steering are optionally available.

The new BMW 5 Series Touring is making its debut with a choice of two straight-six petrol engines as well as a four-cylinder and a six-cylinder diesel. The BMW 520d Touring is powered by a 135 kW/184 bhp four-cylinder turbo diesel power unit featuring an aluminium crankcase and Common Rail direct injection. It is equipped with Auto Start Stop function as a standard feature, and with an average fuel consumption of 5.1 litres/100km (55.4 mpg) and a CO2 emission level of 135 g/km in an EU test cycle, it achieves the best efficiency in its segment.

The straight-six engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo under the bonnet of the BMW 535i Touring, with High Precision Injection and VALVETRONIC, develops a power output of 225 kW/306 bhp. Maximum power output of the straight-six engine featured in the BMW 523i Touring in lean operation is 150 kW/204 bhp. The BMW 530d Touring features a straight six-cylinder diesel with a 180 kW/245 bhp output. Thanks to BMW BluePerformance technology it fulfils the EU6 emission standard. All versions of the new BMW 5 Series Touring fully comply with the EU5 requirement.

BMW EfficientDynamics:
BMW 5 Series increases the lead even further.

All versions of the new BMW 5 Series Touring are optionally available with BMW's eight-speed automatic transmission. Like the electro-mechanical power steering EPS utilised on all variants, it makes an additional contribution towards efficiency. Depending on the model, the standard BMW EfficientDynamics measures comprise brake energy regeneration, Auto Start Stop function (BMW 520d), gearshift point indicator, demand-dependant ancillary components and active air flap control. An intelligent lightweight construction is obtained through doors, bonnet, front side panels, drivetrain and suspension components made of aluminium.

Innovative driver assistance systems by BMW ConnectedDrive.

The spectrum of features offered by BMW ConnectedDrive comprises,
inter alia, a Parking Assistant, Surround View, collision warning with brake activation in conjunction with Active Cruise Control, Lane Change Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Info, High-beam Assistant, BMW Night Vision with detection of persons as well as Head-up Display. Furthermore, innovative office functions can be utilised via Bluetooth.

Joint development and production together with the BMW 7 Series.

The BMW 5 Series Touring is based on a newly developed vehicle architecture also used for the BMW 7 Series luxury sedans. Joint production of the BMW 5 Series Touring, the BMW 5 Series Sedan, the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo and the BMW 7 Series at the BMW Dingolfing Plant, combined with the extensive use of shared components, ensures highly efficient production incorporating maximum possible quality standards.

What color is this?

 

[as7920]

I thought the 5er Touring and Sedan M Sport models were going to be at the show. Am I mistaken? I haven't seen a single image yet.......

 

[martinbo]

BMW 1M? Surely it must be shown at Paris???

 

[klier]

^^ Nope, that has never been the plan. We're in for quite a few teasers still, before they show the car!

BTW, the black M3 with performance exhaust...holy freaking crap....absolutely SICK!!!!

BMW's line-up has never, EVER been as good as it is today. Just mindlowing. Look at all those pretty cars they have over there, I don't know where to look!

 

[donkeykong]

thats hot,will this package be offered to customers?

Yet their Paris presentation was far from good. Why they showed the Concept 6 series a week in advance without having another show stopper is beyond me.

Which package do you mean, the 335iS or the Performance stuff? The former is only available if you're in the US, the Performance parts are available separately (aftermarket).

Yes, they're BMW accessories: OnlineKAT

BTW: There's something weird about this car. I said that's an 335iS because of the unique front bumper without foglights. But this doesn't make sense because it's not available in Europe. Appears like BMW fitted a 335i Coupe with the front bumper of the iS. Not sure what gives...
