that debut on the 2004 5Series include optional adaptive headlights that swivel to illuminate a turn. Adaptive - brake lights brighten as more pressure is applied to the pedal, which gives additional warning to vehicles that are following. Run-flat tires and a tire-pressure monitoring system are optional as well as multi-colored head-up display that projects vital data onto the windshield. There's even an optional fold-down DVD player for rear-seat passengers.
If all this has you thinking the hew 5-Series is a big. giant computer game, think again. BMW hasn't forgotten the 'sport' in sport sedan.
The new Series consists of three models, each powered by its own specific engine. The 525i sedan continues with the engine of its predecessor. the responsive and fuel-efficient 2.5-liter, 184horsepower inline six-cylinder that flouts any notion of entry-level' status. The 530i offers a step-up in six-cylinder power with a 3.0-liter 225-horsepower engine and additional standard equipment over the 525i. TTie 545i sedan derives its model designation from the Valvetronic engine first introduced in the 7 Series: a 4.4-liter V8 delivering 325 horsepower, up 35 horses from the previous 540i. Each model is available w ith a wide range of packages and stand-alone options, and each is available with a choice of three transmissions, all six-speeds: a manual: an automatic with manual control; and a sequential manual gearbox (SMG) that automatically works the clutch for you.
On the outside, it's bold and daring without losing the 5-Senes' trademark stance.
Fear not. BMW lovers, fear not. The best-selling sedan is still the benchmark and more. Still the luxury sport sedan it always was. Still the Ultimate Driving Machine.
