High Precision Injection with new injector nozzles.
The VALVETRONIC system is fully integrated in the cylinder head. This
intelligent and extremely compact arrangement allows a direct combination with
High Precision Injection with its injection nozzles placed in the middle between
the valves and, therefore, in the immediate vicinity of the spark plug in the
cylinder head.
High Precision Injection in the new six-cylinder delivers fuel through innovative
multi-hole valves at an injection pressure increased once again in large areas all
the way to 200 bar. This ensures extremely precise dosage of the fuel injected
as well as a particularly clean combustion process. And last but not least in
this context, the direct injection of fuel serves to cool the fuel/air mixture and
increase the compression ratio to a higher level than in a turbocharged engine
with manifold injection – an advantage contributing once again to the greater
power of the straight-six.
Displacing 2,979 cc, the new power unit delivers maximum output of
225
kW/306 hp. It therefore offers all the torque and muscle of a significantly
larger eight-cylinder, but comes with much lower weight and significantly lower
fuel consumption and emissions. It is indeed far lighter than a comparably
powerful eight-cylinder and remains even 4 kilos lighter than the straight-six
turbocharged engine already well-established in the market.
The BMW 535i Gran Turismo accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in
6.3
seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h or
mph. The unusually good balance of performance and fuel consumption
155
is clearly expressed by average fuel consumption in the combined EU cycle of
just 8.9 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 31.7 mpg imp. And the CO2 rating of the
BMW 535i Gran Turismo is just 209 grams per kilometre.
The BMW 535i Gran Turismo, like the other two model variants, comes
as standard with a wide range of BMW EfficientDynamics technology.
Supplementing the excellent efficiency of the respective engine and the
eight-speed automatic transmission, features such as Brake Energy Regenera-
tion, on-demand management and operation of ancillary units including the
electrical coolant pump, the electrical power assistance pump and the detach-
able a/c compressor, as well as consistent lightweight engineering, optimised
aerodynamics including active management of air flaps, and tyres with reduced
roll resistance, ensure optimum fuel economy and emission management
at all times.
