BMW, AOS new 5-series sedan has a job to imitate the success of the sale of the old 5-series, which, despite a controversial appearance, eventually became the most successful model in the car, AOS famous 38-year history. Up to seven different new 5-series planned for the British model, although not all will be available from the beginning. This is the 535i ¬ £ 37,090 a turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six engine producing 302bhp.
All models save for the top-of-the-line 550i come as standard with six-speed manual gearbox, although BMW expects the majority of buyers to choose the optional eight-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is a given, but expect a specific model to also accept an optional four-wheel drive before the end of 2010. Along with saloon driven here, a Touring version is also planned from October.
There, AOS newfound tranquility to the first trip takes you to believe that BMW may have gone too far in trying to match rivals like the Mercedes E-Class, Jaguar XF and Audi A6 and possibly harm the car, the traditional AOS sportiness.
The re-suspension with variable damping set in comfort mode flexible enough to absorb the uneven pavement, expansion joints in asphalt evil overpass and damaged without the inherent violence old 5-series. It's terrifically composed, with great stability, great feel tied-down and very impressive improvements in both the city and at higher speeds.
On the 535i highway, AOS turbocharged 3.0-liter engine is all but inaudible on the voyage. That is, AOS because BMW has been adapted to the optional eight-speed auto, Äôbox so high that you rarely need more than 2000rpm; that endows the combined 33.6mpg fuel economy, improving by 4.5mpg old 540i.
High ratio good for the economy, but you often feel you, Äôre gear, maybe even a few, too high when the gearbox was left to work alone. However, the 535i provides solid in-gear acceleration throttle sooner you plant.
BMW says that, Äôll run from 0-62mph in 6.1sec - the same time quoted for the old 540i. A better indication of real world performance, however, is 80-120km / h (about 50-75mph) division, which is placed in just 5.9sec. Top speed is limited to 155mph, but the very high gearing, AOS achieved in the sixth than eighth.
Endowing while the new 5-series with incredible agility and stability of, the new system is still somewhat active directing lifeless. Combining the functions of directing a look behind the rear wheels move in the opposite direction to the front with a speed below 37mph and in the same direction at higher speeds, it is claimed to reduce the circle back to the parking lot at a speed of 0.5m.
However, from changing the steering ratio at higher speeds is not smooth, and it takes a long time before you feel confident enough to attack the corners with gusto. That is to say, the combination of traditional front-wheel drive and counter-steering the rear wheels will greatly reduce the level of work required on the driver. Even more challenging back roads you rarely need to call more than a quarter turn of the key and make sure the weight remains constant. In sports mode, the electro-mechanical helmet is very direct, allowing you to put BMW on the road with great confidence.
Turn-in is quick. Simple roll of the wrist and the 5 series dives into the corners of your orders. Overall very impressive knack for what is now big enough car. Usually companies damping and active acts of anti-roll bars do a great job of containing body roll.
The problem is when you edge to the limit of adhesion is that the wheel was never really given the amount of assured feedback. Yes, you, continue to realize what Äôre front wheels do, but the lines of communication will be filtered to a level that always feels strange wheel-made.
Brake so good that you finally take them for granted. Pedal action is very good, with a progressive take-up and well, the company weightings to lean on.
