The unique partition between the passenger compartment and the luggage
compartment ensures unrestricted comfort also while loading. Whenever, with
the partition closed, the driver and passengers open only the lower section of
the tailgate, the passenger compartment will not be affected in any way while
loading by draughts or other effects of weather, or by any noise or acoustic
annoyance.
As long as the rear seats and the partition are in their standard position, luggage
compartment capacity is 440 litres or 15.4 cu ft. Moving the seats forward and
unfastening the partition increases luggage capacity to 590 litres or 20.7 cu
ft. And when folding down the rear-seat backrests as well as the partition, the
driver and passengers benefit from no less than 1,700 litres or 59.5 cu ft.
New straight-six power unit: first-ever combination of turbocharging
and VALVETRONIC.
The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is entering the market with a choice of two
gasoline engines and one diesel power unit. A particular highlight in this context
is the newly developed straight-six gasoline engine now making its debut and
for the first time combining turbocharger technology, High Precision Injection,
and variable VALVETRONIC valve management all in one. This unique combi-
nation gives the new BMW TwinPower Turbo an extremely spontaneous and
direct response to the gas pedal, exceeding even the excellent response already
offered by BMW’s existing straight-six turbocharged engine.
This truly impressive response is the result of VALVETRONIC technology
optimised once again as well as the turbocharger system applying the twin
scroll principle to separate the ducts of three cylinders at a time both in the
exhaust manifold and the turbocharger.
BMW’s High Precision Injection has also been enhanced to an even higher
standard of direct fuel injection technology. Now HPI features new injection
nozzles precisely dosing the supply of fuel and operating at a pressure of up
to 200 bar in the combustion chambers.
Displacing 3.0 litres, the new six-cylinder develops maximum output of
225
kW/306 hp at 5,800 rpm, with peak torque of 400 Newton-metres/295 lb-ft
available all the way from 1,200–5,000 rpm.
Benefitting from this kind of power, the BMW 535i Gran Turismo accelerates
from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds. The car’s top speed, in turn,
is limited electronically to 250 km/h or 155 mph.
