blades with maximum precision and minimum delay in response to current
requirements. The result is spontaneous and direct engine response at low revs
as well as supreme power and performance under full load.
The newly conceived exhaust gas recirculation system ensures an even better
and more consistent distribution of exhaust gas and fresh air in the cylinders.
The stainless-steel exhaust gas cooler optimised for maximum power and
performance comes complete with a bypass flap reducing harmful emissions
while the engine is warming up.
The amount of exhaust gas fed in during the process as well as the temperature
of the exhaust gas may be determined with maximum precision, depending
on the operating point and the temperature of the engine. This ensures minimi-
sation of hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and nitric oxide emissions right from
the start within the engine and guarantees superior running smoothness and
refinement at all times.
Weight down, agility up, emissions reduced.
Overall weight of the new six-cylinder diesel is just 185 kg or 408 lb. This reduc-
tion of weight enhances not only the efficiency of the BMW 530d Gran Turismo,
but also the car’s agility, with acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h in just
6.9
seconds. Top speed, in turn, is 240 km/h or 149 mph.
This sporting performance comes with average fuel consumption in the
EU cycle of just 6.5 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 43.5 mpg imp, and CO2
emissions are a mere 173 grams per kilometre.
With its compact dimensions, low weight, reduced height and the chain drive
moved to the back of the engine, the new diesel also helps to meet future
requirements in pedestrian safety. As a further point the risk of injury may be
reduced by the intake silencer deformable also in its height and therefore giving
way exactly when required beneath the likewise new cylinder head cover made
of a special synthetic material.
Diesel particulates filter and catalytic converter in one unit.
The alternator, steering assistance pump and a/c compressor are all arranged
on the left-hand side of the engine, leaving the right-hand side open for the
diesel particulates filter, the oxidation catalyst and the turbocharger system.
These exhaust gas cleaning units are all housed in one joint unit positioned
directly behind the engine.
