As a world-first achievement introducing a new and even more efficient
range of engines, the BMW 535i Gran Turismo comes with the first straight-
six gasoline engine featuring TwinPower Turbo, High Precision Injection
and VALVETRONIC and developing maximum output of 225 kW/306 hp.
The top engine in the range, finally, is the V8 TwinPower Turbo delivering
maximum output of 300 kW/407 hp in the BMW 550i Gran Turismo. The
BMW 530d Gran Turismo, in turn, comes with a 180 kW/245 hp straight-six
diesel of the latest generation with an all-aluminium crankcase and common-
rail direct fuel injection. All engines naturally fulfil the EU5 emission standard.

All model variants come as standard with the eight-speed automatic trans-
mission previously to be admired only in the BMW 760i twelve-cylinder luxury
saloon. Featuring an innovative configuration of gearsets, a unique level of
internal efficiency, and the same low weight and compact dimensions as a
six-speed automatic transmission, this high-tech automatic combines gear-
shift comfort, dynamic performance, and motoring efficiency of the highest
calibre. The most advanced engine technology, the innovative eight-speed
automatic transmission, and a wide range of unique technologies in the
context of BMW EfficientDynamics allow the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo to
set new standards also in terms of economy and emission management.

The modern, demanding suspension technology of the
BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is designed for both fascinating driving
dynamics and supreme grand touring comfort. The double track control arm
front axle and the Integral-V rear axle exclusive to BMW are made largely of
aluminium. Standard features also include rear axle air suspension as well as
hydraulic rack-and-pinion steering with a steering servo pump operating on
demand. Integral Active Steering is available as an option, combining active
steering of the front wheels with rear-wheel steering varying according to
driving conditions and current requirements.
•
Featured as standard, Dynamic Drive Control influences not only the gearshift
dynamics, but also the gas pedal and steering assistance control map. In
combination with optional Adaptive Drive, the dampers with infinite variation
on both the inbound and rebound stroke contribute to the superior suspen-
sion function. In addition to the NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT+ programs,
the driver also has the choice of the COMFORT mode available directly from
the Dynamic Drive Control button on the centre console. A further point is
that intervention in DSC Dynamic Stability Control is reduced in the SPORT+
setting and in the traction mode.
