New generation of engines entering the market: straight-six with
TwinPower Turbo, High Precision Injection and VALVETRONIC.
Top-of-the-range V8 developing 300 kW/407 hp, extremely economical
six-cylinder diesel delivering 180 kW/245 hp.
Innovative eight-speed automatic transmission featured as standard.
Introducing the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, the world’s most successful
manufacturer of premium cars is setting the foundation for an entirely new
segment in the market, at the same time proving unique competence in
drivetrain development.
The new model is entering the market with a choice of two gasoline engines
and one diesel power unit. In the process BMW’s newly developed straight-six
gasoline engine for the first time featuring turbocharger technology, High
Precision Injection and variable VALVETRONIC valve management all together
is making its world debut. Indeed, the intelligent combination of these three
technologies gives this power unit the best and most direct response ever
offered by a straight-six turbocharged engine from BMW.
The new BMW TwinPower Turbo develops 225 kW/306 hp at a speed of
5,800
rpm, maintaining its maximum torque of 400 Newton-metres/295 lb-ft
over a wide speed range from 1,200–5,000 rpm and, in comparison with the
BMW turbo engine already well-known in other model series, offering even
greater fuel economy combined with optimised CO2 management.
The top engine in the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is the 300 kW/407 hp V8
with TwinPower Turbo and High Precision Injection – again the most efficient
engine in its class.
The diesel engine, finally, is a 3.0-litre straight-six of the latest generation
featuring an all-aluminium crankcase as well as common-rail direct fuel injection
with piezo-injectors and delivering maximum output of 180 kW/245 hp.
