This outstanding power unit again clearly confirms the effects and benefits of
BMW EfficientDynamics, giving the BMW 530d Gran Turismo average fuel
consumption in the EU test cycle of just 6.5 litres/100 kilometres, equal to
43.5
mpg imp, and a CO2 rating of 173 grams per kilometre.
All engines available in the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo naturally comply
with the EU5 emission standard. In addition, all the power units in the
BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo come with the new eight-speed automatic
transmission presented for the first time in the new BMW 760i with its
twelve-cylinder engine.
Through its high efficiency and the innovative layout of gearsets, the eight-
speed automatic transmission makes a fundamental contribution to the further
enhancement of efficiency on all three engine variants.
World debut: TwinPower Turbo, High Precision Injection and
VALVETRONIC in a new straight-six gasoline engine.
The history of BMW’s modern turbo engines going back to the year 2006 is
characterised by spectacular power and exemplary efficiency. And now BMW
is opening up a new chapter in this history, the straight-six gasoline engine
powering the BMW 535i Gran Turismo consistently continuing the process of
optimising engine power while at the same time reducing both fuel consump-
tion and CO2 emissions on an engine of this calibre.
The 3.0-litre power unit, for example, is yet a further result of the
BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy, offering a range of highlights
in technology never seen before on any other engine – highlights created in
the context of BMW EfficientDynamics and now ideally matched for optimum
driving dynamics and economy all in one.
The new straight-six is the world’s first engine to combine turbocharging,
direct gasoline injection and fully variable VALVETRONIC valve management
developed by BMW. The turbocharging process follows the twin-scroll principle
already applied successfully by the BMW Group and now further enhanced
consistently for use in a particularly powerful and sporting straight-six.
The combination of this turbocharger technology with High Precision Injection
and VALVETRONIC exclusive to BMW exceeds even the response and
efficiency of the BMW Twin Turbo power unit launched back in 2006.
