<p>
  <strong>The all-new BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase</strong></p>
<p>The all-new BMW 5 Series evolves the character of the dynamic
  business sedan in an impressive fashion, bringing a new expression of
  modernity, presence and clarity to the established attributes and
  different ways of experiencing it.</p>
<p>The <strong>exterior </strong>of the new BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase
  is about motion and strikingly sporty character. The car has a steeply
  sloping A-pillar, gently flowing roof line towards the rear and
  slightly sloping luggage compartment line, creating an elegant and
  dynamic <strong>2.5 box design</strong>. Length: 5,165 mm, width:
  2,156 mm, height: 1,518 mm and wheelbase: 3,105 mm make the all-new
  BMW 5 Long Wheelbase the <strong>biggest car in the segment</strong>.
  The BMW kidney grille, stylistically inspired by the so-called
  ‘Sharknose’ and projecting far forward, functions as the visual centre
  of the vehicle front. With its wide surround and <strong>BMW Iconic
  Glow</strong> contour line lighting, the BMW kidney grille gives the
  front view a distinctively dynamic and sporty appeal. The side flanks
  have a pronounced athletic look thanks to the two visually distinct
  character lines, a high shoulder line and the prominent muscular look
  above the rear wheel. The fixed <strong>Panoramic glass roof</strong>
  connects almost the entire roof surface with its dark glass surface
  and gives the side view a more dynamic look. The newly interpreted
    <strong>Hofmeister kink</strong> is shallower and broader with an
  elegantly embossed ‘<strong>5’ badging.</strong> The kidney grille
  surround, front bumper stripes, rear bumper accents and window
  graphics (frame, mirror base and C-pillar trim) are available in two
  exclusive finishes – Titanium Bronze and Aluminium. Black side skirts,
  flush-mounted door openers, 5 pattern welcome carpet light and the
  18-inch light alloy wheels / 19-inch M <strong>alloy wheels</strong>
  with tubeless tyres are further eye catchers. <strong>Adaptive LED
  headlights</strong> with the hallmark four-eye face with vertical
  strips set the scene for new, visually appealing daytime running
  lights. The slim <strong>LED taillights</strong> feature the hallmark
  L-shaped with an innovative ‘twin light’ design emphasizing the car’s width.</p>
<p>The <strong>interior</strong> of the BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase
  creates an ideal environment for enjoying hallmark BMW driving
  pleasure and comfort in everyday traffic and long-distance journeys.
  Generous space, innovative equipment with modern functionality, and
  fine workmanship optimize the travelling comfort and characterize the
  ambience of the all-new BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase as a dynamic
  business sedan for digital age. <strong>Comfort seats</strong> with
  perforated vegan leather upholstery have active seat ventilation at
  the front and the rear seats have an increased knee room (+71mm).
  Cabin temperature can be individually adjusted with <strong>Four zone
    air conditioning</strong>. <strong>Bowers & Wilkins Surround
    Sound System</strong> has an exceptional audio experience at concert
  hall level. Additionally, first 500 customers of the 5 will get
  individually customized headrest cushions in the rear.</p>
<p>Adopted directly from the BMW 7 Series, the driver-oriented BMW
  Curved Display and BMW Interaction Bar with touchscreen functionality
  define the revolutionary cockpit design. The <strong>BMW Curved
  Display</strong> consists of a 12.3-inch Information Display behind
  the steering wheel and a Control Display with 14.9-inch screen. They
  merge into a single fully digital and high- resolution display unit.
  The illuminated <strong>BMW Interaction Bar</strong> looks like a
  piece of crystal jewellery. It extends below the trim strip across the
  entire width of the dashboard, far into the door panels. It integrates
  the ambient light, AC controls and almost invisible air vents into an
  aesthetic experience.</p>
<p>The latest <strong>BMW Operating System 8.5</strong> offers all the
  possibilities for interaction between occupants and the vehicle –
  using touch or voice. It is complemented by the <strong>BMW
    Intelligent Personal Assistant</strong> system that adopts driver’s
  individual habits and proactively provides useful tips on driving
  functions. Regular Remote Software Upgrades ensure that the car is
  always up to date.</p>
<p>
  <strong>MyBMW App</strong> functions include popular options for
  keeping an eye on the current vehicle status at all times. The
  innovative digital key services turn any smartphone into a car key and
  can be transferred up to 4 additional users, along with their personal
  vehicle settings. One can remotely lock/unlock and configure top
  speed, engine power, audio and more. Wireless Apple CarPlay® / Android
  Auto for smartphone opens up access to a range of functions and apps.</p>
<p>The new control panel on the center console has - iDrive Controller,
  new gear selector switch, start/stop button, My Modes buttons, volume
  control and buttons for controlling other vehicle functions.
    Additionally, <strong>CraftedClarity </strong>visually enhances the
  interior and consists of a handmade crystal glass element for selected
  controls. An <strong>interior camera</strong> can take photos and
  record videos including sound and also via the smartphone through the
  MyBMW app. Wireless mobile charging trays are integrated in the front
  console and rear armrest along with multiple USB-C ports.</p>
<p>
  <strong>Travel & Comfort</strong>
  <strong>System</strong> provides entertainment on personal devices
  with WiFi Hotspot using a personal e-sim. In addition, mounting
  options are available for tablets/personal devices to serve as rear
  entertainment screens.</p>
<p>Thanks to the unrivalled <strong>BMW TwinPower Turbo
  </strong>technology, the petrol engine melds maximum power with
  exemplary efficiency and offers spontaneous responsiveness even at low
  engine speeds. The <strong>2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol
  engine</strong> of the all-new BMW 5 Series Long Wheelbase produces an
  output of 190 kW / 258 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm at 1,500 –
  2,500 rpm. Additionally, the engine features a 48V Electrical Motor
  with a power output of 11 hp and torque output of 25 Nm to achieve
  better efficiency and dynamics. The car accelerates from <strong>0
    -100 km / hr in just 6.5 seconds</strong> with a top speed of 250 km/h.</p>
<p>The <strong>8-speed Steptronic transmission</strong> performs smooth,
  almost imperceptible gearshifts. At any time, in any gear, the
  transmission collaborates perfectly with the engine, enabling it to
  develop its full power and efficiency. <strong>Comfort Suspension
  </strong>gives a luxurious ride with minimum body roll giving a high
  degree of stability with sporty dynamics.</p>
<p>
  <strong>M Steering</strong> wheel, with a flattened bottom, has paddle
  shift functions. <strong>BMW My Modes</strong> (Personal, Efficient,
  Sport, Expressive, Relax and Digital Art) can be used to turn every
  journey into an individual driving experience with a combination of
  sound, light, temperature and seat functions to create a particular mood.</p>
