The exceptionally good balance of performance and fuel economy is clearly
confirmed by average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of just
8.9
litres/100 kilometres, equal to 31.7 mpg imp. And at the same time the CO2
rating of the BMW 535i Gran Turismo is just 209 grams per kilometre.
Eight-cylinder with BMW TwinPower Turbo
and High Precision Injection.
The top engine in the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is a unique V8 combining
TwinPower Turbo technology with High Precision Injection. Displacing 4.4 litres,
this outstanding power unit develops maximum output of 300 kW/407 hp in
a speed range from 5,500–6,400 rpm. Peak torque, in turn, is 600 Newton-
metres/442 lb-ft generated all the way from 1,750 to 4,500 rpm.
This unparalleled V8 is the most efficient engine of its type and, at the same
time, the world’s only gasoline engine with the turbocharger and catalytic
converters arranged within the V-section between the two rows of cylinders.
The BMW 550i Gran Turismo accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in just
5.5
seconds, with top speed limited electronically to 250 km/h or 155 mph.
Average fuel consumption of the BMW 550i Gran Turismo in the EU test cycle,
in turn, is 11.2 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 25.2 mpg imp, while CO2 emissions
are 263 grams per kilometre.
Efficiency and pulling power: latest generation of diesel technology.
The straight-six diesel in the BMW 530d Gran Turismo clearly presents the
latest state of the art in BMW engine development. Displacing 3.0 litres, this
ultra-modern power unit comes with an all-aluminium crankcase, its turbo-
charger system with variable intake geometry providing a highly dynamic but
smooth flow of power tailored harmoniously to current driving conditions.
Fuel is supplied by the latest generation of common-rail fuel injection using
piezo-injectors operating at a maximum pressure of 1,800 bar. In practice, this
means engine output of 180 kW/245 hp at 4,000 rpm, with peak torque of
540
Newton-metres/398 lb ft from just 1,750 rpm.
The BMW 530d Gran Turismo accelerates to 100 km/h in just 6.9 seconds
and reaches a top speed of 240 km/h or 149 mph. This sporting performance
comes together with average fuel consumption of just 6.5 litres/100 kilometres
(equal to 43.5 mpg imp) in the EU test cycle. And the CO2 rating of the
BMW 530d Gran Turismo, finally, is just 173 grams per kilometre.
