Singapore. BMW Asia and Performance Munich Autos today announced the availability of the new BMW X5 M50i. The flagship of the BMW X5 range exudes a supreme presence with concentrated power generated by the new 8-cylinder petrol engine. The engine is based on BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and produces a maximum output of 530 hp. More than ever before, this new top-flight engine underlines the sporty nature of the latest generation of the original Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) – and the first BMW X model in the luxury segment. The new BMW X5 M50i combines the V8 engine with the intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system and a model-specific suspension technology, developed with expertise from BMW M GmbH.

New V8 engine with outstanding power and characteristic sound.

The 4.4 litre drive unit of the new BMW X5 M50i emphasises the characteristic features of the 8-cylinder engines in terms of power development and torque to an outstanding degree. The new V8 engine turns in a very impressive level of performance – whether you prefer cruising calmly and confidently at low engine speeds, or pulling out all the performance stops and laying down some sporty acceleration manoeuvres. Several components have been upgraded since the previous engine version; these include the crankcase, cylinder barrels, pistons, crankshaft and cylinder head – and above all, the freshly updated BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. The turbochargers positioned between the cylinder banks in the V compartment have been enlarged, while the direct petrol injection performs at a new maximum pressure level of 350 bar. The technology package also includes the newest versions of the fully variable VALVETRONIC valve control and variable double VANOS camshaft control.

The new V8 engine responds with great sensitivity to every movement of the accelerator pedal. The engine already generates its maximum torque of 750 Nm at 1,800 rpm – and it remains available up to an engine speed of 4,600 rpm. Accordingly, the power output is as strident as you would expect it to be. The maximum value of 530 hp is activated between 5,500 and 6,000 rpm. As a result, the new BMW X5 M50i is able to complete the sprint from zero to 100 km/h in only 4.3 seconds.

This supreme power development is accompanied by an impressive sound progression that is generated by the standard M sport exhaust system. Using the driving experience control, the driver can choose between an extremely sporty or a more comfort-oriented mode. The sheer bandwidth of the engine’s character then becomes all the more obvious. In the SPORT and SPORT PLUS modes, not only is the characteristic curve of the accelerator pedal configured for a dynamic driving style, but the power development and remarkable sound characteristics of the V8 engine are too.

8-speed Steptronic sports transmission, BMW xDrive and M sports differential for thrilling performance.

The performance features of the thoroughly sports-oriented BMW X5 M50i are supported by the rather specific nature of the power transmission. The new V8 engine is combined as standard with an 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission, characterised by highly dynamic gear shift properties. Shift paddles are mounted near the steering wheel for manual control of the choice of gear, while the Launch Control function enables traction-optimised acceleration with maximum dynamic performance from standing.

The latest version of the BMW xDrive system distributes the engine torque between the front and rear wheels in a manner that enables it to adapt quickly and precisely to the road conditions. The intelligent all-wheel drive system increases the agility and supreme traction of the new BMW X5 M50i as much as it enhances the driving stability in all weather and road conditions. These sporty characteristics are also supported in highly dynamic driving situations by the rear-wheel emphasis of the system’s design. In addition, the standard equipment of the new BMW X5 M50i also includes an M sports differential. The electronically controlled differential lock in the rear bevel gears limits the rotational speed balancing between the wheel on the innermost side of a bend and that on the outermost side and enables highly dynamic acceleration when exiting a bend. Finally, the M sports differential is interconnected with the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control), thereby optimising traction and power transmission when driving on loose terrain and when different road friction values exist between the right and left rear wheels. This serves to prevent wheel spinning arising due to insufficient grip, with the torque being redirected to the other wheel.

Model-specific suspension technology for a superior drive.

The model-specific suspension of the new BMW X5 M50i has been painstakingly tuned to extract maximum potential from the outstanding drive design based on the know-how of BMW M GmbH. This employs a construction principle comprising a double-wishbone front axle and a five-link rear axle combined with specific kinematics and elastokinematics for the wheel suspension, independent suspension and damping settings, and 22-inch M light alloy wheels in Double-spoke style 742 M complete with mixed tyres. The standard equipment also includes electromechanical steering with Servotronic function and an M sport brake system with blue-coated brake calipers complete with the M logo.

The new BMW X5 M50i is equipped with the Adaptive M Suspension Professional package as standard. One of two sets of characteristics can be selected for the electronically controlled dampers, which can be activated using the driving experience switches, comprising COMFORT and SPORT modes. In the SPORT driving mode, as well as at speeds of over 138 km/h, this automatically results in a reduced ride height of 20 millimetres. However, the driver is also able to adjust the height of the body by activating a button in the cockpit; two levels are available, raising the height up to 40 millimetres above the standard setting.

Integral active steering is available for the new BMW X5 M50i, which serves to further enhance the vehicle’s agility. It also results in enhanced superiority when it comes to lane changing and manoeuvrability in urban traffic, by co-steering the rear wheels either in the same or in the opposite direction, depending on the driving speed. A further increase in superiority and dynamics of the drive characteristics is produced by the integral active steering, the active electronic anti roll stabilizers, which ensures very fast and precise balancing of lateral roll forces during dynamic cornering, by means of electric swivel motors fitted to the front and rear axles.

Driving Assistant Professional: the complete package for comfortable and safe driving.

The standard Driving Assistant Professional package comprises of the Steering and lane control assistant as well as the Lane Keeping Assistant with active side collision protection. The Lane Change Assistant can be used on motorways and dual carriageways when the Steering and lane control assistant is active. Holding the direction indicator in the required direction is all it takes to initiate a lane change. If the sensors detect that there is space in the adjacent lane and that no other vehicle is approaching at high speed, the driver benefits from helpful steering assistance during the lane change. Another component of the system is the evasion aid, which can help avoid collisions with vehicles or pedestrians suddenly appearing in the driver’s path. As soon as an evasive manoeuvre corresponding to such a scenario is detected, the system assists the driver with steering inputs to direct the vehicle into a clear adjacent lane.

The array of assistance systems contained in this wide-ranging suite of safety and comfort features also comprises of Crossing traffic warning, which reduces the risk of a collision when manoeuvring forwards or in reverse towards crossing traffic where visibility is restricted. Rear Collision warning, Priority warning, Wrong-way warning and Lane Change Warning are also part of the Driving Assistant Professional package. The latest version of Lane Departure Warning now includes active steering inputs to bring the vehicle back to the intended lane.

Design and equipment: exclusive appearance with a luxurious atmosphere.

Model-specific designer features serve to emphasise the exclusive and sporty nature of the new BMW X5 M50i the moment you see it. The extra-large air inlets in the front apron are a clear indication of the V8 engine’s cooling requirements. The unique design of the side sills and rear apron, the BMW individual high-gloss Shadow Line, and selected design elements in Cerium Grey similarly serve to underline the outstanding status of the 8-cylinder models.

The SAV’s interior features an M leather upholstery with contrast stitching and perforated surfaces and interior strips in Aluminium Tetragon, ensuring a luxurious feel with a sporty touch. And as if that wasn’t enough, the standard equipment also comprises illuminated entry sills displaying the ’M50i’ logo, a headliner in Anthracite and a Harmon Kardon surround sound system.

The new BMW X5 M50i is now available for viewing at the Performance Munich Autos showroom.

The new BMW X5 xDrive25d now available in Singapore.

World’s most successful Sports Activity Vehicle sets new benchmarks for driving pleasure, luxury and innovation.

Singapore. BMW Asia and Performance Motors announced the availability of the new BMW X5 xDrive25d. An all-round Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) equipped to meet the most exacting and varied demands, the new model is powered by a 231hp 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine.

As BMW’s first SAV, the BMW X5 literally started the premium SAV segment and has since become a global best-seller of its class with more than 1.3 million units sold worldwide since the launch of the first generation X5. The new BMW X5 xDrive25d impresses with its outstanding practicality, headlined by its 40: 20: 40 split/folding rear seat backrest, load capacity rising from 650 to a maximum 1,870 litres and a total of seven seats.

Ride comfort in the new BMW X5 xDrive25d is further enhanced with the introduction of a range of advanced suspension systems. Adaptive M suspension is available with the optional M Sport package, which includes Sport-tuned suspension settings with a specifically-tuned Dynamic Damper Control system, as well as an automatic self-levelling air suspension at the rear.

Exterior design: an elegant blend of robust presence and dynamic flair.

The new BMW X5 xDrive25d combines undeniable presence with driving efficiency resulting in a modern and eye-catching update. Drag-reducing Air Curtains are featured on the new BMW X5 xDrive25d. These vertical apertures guide the inflow of air around the wheel arches, where it creates a curtain of air over the wheels before making a controlled escape through the Air Breathers in the side panels.

The clear subdivision between the muscular body and a passenger compartment, whose large windows lend it a light and spacious feel, is clearly visible from the rear as well as from the side.

Horizontal lines on the two-section tailgate and around the rear apron emphasise the width and robust stance of the new BMW X5 xDrive25d. The thin, three-dimensional LED light strips of the two-section, L-shaped rear lights create a striking night-time look. The new BMW X5 xDrive25d also features Aero Blades. These black air-channelling elements are contiguous with the roof spoiler and help it to optimise the car’s aerodynamic properties. The exterior paintwork of the new BMW X5 xDrive25d can be ordered in a choice of 11 colours, among them the new metallic finish Sparkling Brown.

Interior design: high-quality materials, luxurious ambience, cutting-edge functionality.

The interior of the new BMW X5 xDrive25d is both elegant and generously sized. The horizontal structure of the layered surfaces underlines the broad sweep of the instrument panel and therefore also the impressive amount of space available on board. Plus, the three-dimensional design of the surfaces also generates vibrant contrasts.

The ambient lighting designs included in the lighting package lend extra emphasis to the visual unity between the instrument panel and door panels. LED units arranged in a wrap-around contour line and featuring in other areas of the interior create an alluring effect. Blue, white and orange lighting can be selected either individually or in nine pre-stored combinations via the iDrive system. The interior materials selected for the new BMW X5 xDrive25d also play a role in shaping the exclusive onboard ambience. The trim strip and accent strip extend into the front door panels and are picked up again in the rear door panels.

The freestanding, up to 10.25-inch Control Display linked to the standard-fitted iDrive operating system adds further appeal. The displays for the climate control and ventilation systems – and, as standard, the instrument cluster – feature black panel technology. The seat surfaces come standard in Dakota leather and customers can choose from nine upholstery colours.

Variable-usage interior, up to seven seats and even greater versatility.

With its luxurious ambience and enhanced ride comfort, spaciousness and seating comfort, the new BMW X5 xDrive25d offers noticeable advances over its predecessor. Added to which, the array of possible uses for its generously sized interior has grown once again. The newly designed Comfort seats, which come standard, for the driver and front passenger, ensure a high level of long-distance comfort and impressive lateral hold through dynamically taken corners.

The two additional seats are easy to access thanks to an Easy Entry function and a grip plate by the C-pillar. They can be lowered separately into the load compartment floor, are designed primarily for passengers measuring a maximum 1.50 metres in height and come with inertia-reel seat belts.

The folding backrest of the second-row seat bench can now be split 40 : 20 : 40, which allows load capacity to be increased in stages from 650 to as much as 1,870 litres – up to120 litres more than its predecessor. The new BMW X5 xDrive25d also comes with a split two-section tailgate, the lower element of which can be folded down horizontally to form a single level with the load surface. Automatic tailgate operation for the upper section is a standard feature. The tailgate can also be closed as well as opened using the remote control and, at the touch of a button, from the driver’s seat.

BMW EfficientDynamics as standard: eight-speed Sport automatic transmission and ECO PRO mode with new functions.

The engine in the new BMW X5 xDrive25d come standard with an extremely fast-shifting eight-speed Sport automatic version comes with steering-wheel shift paddles. The new “Launch Control” function is a high-precision traction control system which allows engine power to be translated as efficiently as possible into road speed when accelerating from standstill, is also available.

In ECO PRO mode, the engine management, accelerator response and transmission characteristics are systematically tailored to support a particularly fuel-efficient, low-rpm driving style. At the same time, ECO PRO mode also programs electrically powered functions like the climate control, and heated exterior mirrors for extra-efficient energy management. In ECO PRO mode, a coasting function periodically decouples the engine from the rest of the powertrain whenever the driver eases off the accelerator at speeds between 50 and 160 km/h and does not apply the brakes at the same time. This allows the new BMW X5 xDrive25d to coast without engine braking, for maximised fuel efficiency.

Along with the additional ECO PRO mode functions, the new BMW X5 xDrive25d also comes with many other BMW EfficientDynamics features. These include Brake Energy Regeneration, the Auto Start Stop function, on-demand operation of ancillary units, Electric Power Steering, low roll-resistance tyres and a variety of weight- and drag-reducing features. Along with other measures, use of ultra-high-tensile steels in the body structure, thermoplastics in the side panels, aluminium in the bonnet and magnesium in the instrument panel support make the new BMW X5 xDrive25d the lightest vehicle in its class.

BMW xDrive in the new BMW X5 xDrive25d: intelligent all-wheel drive, with optional Dynamic Performance Control.

The new BMW X5 xDrive25d is also equipped with xDrive full-time intelligent all-wheel drive, which actively manages the drive power split between the front and rear wheels at all times. The latest version of the xDrive power divider boasts optimised efficiency and a 1.4 kg reduction in weight. xDrive’s control logic uses information about road speed, wheel speeds, steering angle and accelerator position to accurately interpret both the driver’s intentions and what the car is actually doing, and then adjusts the drive power split so as to apply as much power as possible to the road. In this way, xDrive provides top-class traction and stability whatever the road and weather conditions, and also offers improved cornering dynamics, suppressing oversteer or understeer before the driver is even aware of the need.

If xDrive is combined with Dynamic Performance Control, the drive power split can be even more finely controlled. Dynamic Performance Control, likewise electronically controlled, is integrated in the rear differential. In combination with xDrive it takes handling dynamics and directional stability to new levels. Dynamic Performance Control seamlessly varies the drive power split between the rear wheels (torque vectoring), with significant benefits in terms of steering response and track-holding at all speeds. The stabilising action of Dynamic Performance Control is not affected if the driver lifts off the accelerator while cornering.

The new BMW X5 xDrive25d also comes with a new xDrive status display in the control display boasting 3D graphics. This standard-fitted feature shows real-time information about body roll and pitch. A compass display is also shown in the instrument cluster.

Extensive standard specification and high-end equipment for more driving enjoyment.

The exclusive driving experience in the new BMW X5 xDrive25d is reflected not only in the luxurious interior but also in the extensive standard specification and wide range of high-end optional extras. The standard equipment list now also includes a Bluetooth hands-free system, an automatically dimming rear-view mirror and cruise control with braking function. The standard-fitted iDrive operating system– in conjunction with the standard Navigation system Professional – comes with an iDrive Touch Controller, whose touch-sensitive surface allows the use of characters to programme a destination into the navigation system, for example. A TV module and a newly developed rear-seat entertainment system with DVD drive and two tablet-style monitors are also available as an option. Further customisation can be provided with the aluminium footplates in the side skirts.

The new BMW X5 xDrive25d is available for viewing at Performance Motors’ showroom from 10 November 2016.

The all-new BMW X5 Advanced Diesel: a fresh dimension in driving pleasure and efficiency.

The addition of the Advanced Diesel engine model variant to the BMW X5 line-up is set to extend the Sports Activity Vehicle’s lead over its rivals in terms of fuel efficiency. The all-new BMW X5 Advanced Diesel will be available with a 2.0-litre BMW TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder diesel engine. The engine powering the all-new BMW X5 xDrive25d comprises a turbocharger with variable geometry and common rail direct injection to produce maximum output of 218 hp and is linked to the 8-speed Steptronic gearbox.

The hallmark driving pleasure, eye-catching design, luxurious ambience and outstanding variability of the SAV is made more enjoyable because of the vehicle’s impressively low fuel consumption and emissions. Its average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle stands at 17,2 km/liters with CO² emissions of 154 g/km.

The all-new BMW X5Advanced Diesel-the best in aerodynamic design: an elegant blend of robust presence and dynamic flair.

Signature BMW design features combine with undeniable presence, robustness and versatility to lend BMW X models their distinctive appearance. The particularly muscular design of the BMW kidney grille, set within the triangle of the twin circular headlights and lamps, and the bumper’s X-shaped contour lines mark this vehicle out as a member of the BMW X model family.

The all-new BMW X5 has an extremely broad-set kidney grille extending all the way to the headlight units, and the hallmark BMW twin circular headlights with Xenon technology, in turn, stretch well into the car’s side panels. Their light rings are each levelled off at the bottom and overlapped at their top edge by an LED accent light. Sweeping chrome inserts and the prominently three-dimensional design of the lights underline the sophisticated character of the all-new BMW X5. In addition, the all-new BMW X5 is the brand‟s first model to feature Aero Blades. These black air-channelling elements are contiguous with the roof spoiler and help it to optimise the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle.

BMW xDrive in the all-new BMWX5Advanced Diesel: intelligent all-wheel drive.

The new BMW X5 is equipped with full-time xDrive, intelligent all-wheel drive, which actively manages the drive power split between the front and rear wheels at all times. The latest version of the xDrive power divider boasts optimised efficiency and a 1.4 kg reduction in weight. xDrive provides top-class traction and stability whatever the road and weather conditions, and also offers improved cornering dynamics, suppressing over steer or under steer before the driver is even aware of the need to do so.

All-wheel-drive models come with a new xDrive status display in the control display boasting 3D graphics. This standard-fitted feature shows real-time information about body roll and pitch. The all-new BMW X5 also comes with Hill Descent Control (HDC) -adriver assistance system in xDrive which holds the vehicle steadily at a pre-determined speed, helping with the job of brake control so that the driver can concentrate completely on steering. This makes the potentially difficult task of driving down a steep hill or over rough ground easy. HDC is particularly helpful when driving on changeable, loose or slippery downhill surfaces, such as gravel, or grass. Together with ABS, it ensures excellent stability and prevents the wheels from locking if the driver applies the brakes on a slope. This prevents the vehicle from skidding and permits the driver to retain control over the steering.

Engine: more driving enjoyment and efficiency with the BMW TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder diesel engine.

As the first ever Sports Activity Vehicle, the BMWX5 continues to set benchmarks in its segment. The all-new BMW X5xDrive25d comeswith the BMW TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder in-line diesel engine, BMW EfficientDynamicsinnovations,an8-speed Steptronic transmission and ECO PRO mode with new functions.

The vehicle’s 8-speed Steptronic transmission, which features high internal efficiency, precision and short shift times, helps to improve both efficiency and driving enjoyment. In ECO PRO mode, the engine management, accelerator response and transmission characteristics are systematically tailored to support a particularly fuel-efficient, low-rpm driving style.

Chassis: adjustable for more driving enjoyment.

Sports Activity Vehicles are a vehicle segment first defined by BMW. Their combination of confident, sure-footed off-road traction and sporty but comfortable on-road driving has made them a global success. The all-new BMW X5 Advanced Diesel represents a further evolution of these qualities, incorporating refinements to the all-wheel-drive system and chassis technology. For example, using the standard-fitted Adaptive Suspension „Comfort‟ including air suspension on the rear axle and Driving Experience Control, the drive settings - such as Comfort, Sport and ECO PRO - can be matched to the requirements of different driving situations.

Enhancedcomfort and luxurious interior design.

The newly-designed driver and front passenger seats of the all-new BMW X5 Advanced Diesel ensure a high level of long-distance comfort and impressive lateral hold through dynamically taken corners. Comfort seats are now available for the rear compartment. These comfort seats come with bespoke ‘Dakota’ leather upholstery and backrest adjustments. The Ambient lights package includes nine pre-set lighting designs featuring tricolour – Blue, Classic and White – LEDs which provide a pleasant atmosphere throughout the interior. The Panorama glass roof also creates an overall sense of spaciousness in the all-new BMW X5 Advanced Diesel, while the sun blinds on the rear side windows increase privacy.

Besides the comfortable driving pleasure it offers, the interior design of the all-new BMW X5 also presents impressive functionality both in day-to-day use and on longer journeys.

The BMW X5 xDrive40e.

The first plug-in hybrid production car from the BMW core brand is a Sports Activity Vehicle. Permanent all-wheel drive and the BMW EfficientDynamics eDrive technology endow the BMW X5 xDrive40e with sensational sportiness and supreme poise on the one hand and outstanding efficiency on the other.

With a total system output of 230 kW/313 hp generated by a four-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and a synchronous electric motor, the BMW X5 xDrive40e achieves a combined fuel consumption of 3.4 – 3.3 litres per 100 kilometres (83.1 – 85.6 mpg imp) and a combined electricity consumption of 15.4 – 15.3 kWh over the same distance. CO2 emissions come in at 78 – 77 grams per kilometre (figures according to EU test cycle for plug-in hybrid vehicles, may vary depending on the tyre format specified).

The use of BMW eDrive technology for exceptionally efficient performance as well as all-electric mobility with zero tailpipe emissions as and when required ushers in a whole new form of commanding driving experience in a sports activity vehicle. At the same time, the BMW X5 xDrive40e reaps the benefits of the technology and know-how transferred from the debut of the BMW i cars. The BMW i8 blazes a trail for sustainable driving pleasure with plug-in hybrid drive power, which can now also be enjoyed for the first time in a model

from the BMW core brand.

Lithium-ion battery with flexible charging options, typical SAV versatility and an exclusive ambience.

The energy for the electric motor integrated in the 8-speed Steptronic transmission is drawn from a lithium-ion battery, which also supplies power to the low-voltage battery for the 12V electrical system aboard the BMW X5 xDrive40e via a voltage transformer. It can be recharged by connecting to any standard domestic power socket or a BMW i Wallbox, as well as at public charging stations. To save space the high-voltage battery is housed underneath the luggage compartment floor, where it is also particularly well protected in the event of a crash. With 500 – 1,720 litres of luggage space, a three-part folding rear backrest and a luxuriously designed interior, the BMW X5 xDrive40e also boasts the high versatility associated with a large sports activity vehicle but blended with an exclusive ambience.

Intelligent powertrain control and eDrive button for intense hybrid driving and mobility with zero local emissions.

The actual driving experience is likewise characterised by versatile and effortless performance. The intelligent hybrid powertrain control ensures that the engine and the electric motor act in unison in a way that optimizes efficiency while also catering perfectly to the driver’s wishes. The eDrive button on the centre console allows the driver to adjust the hybrid drive’s operating mode. In the AUTO eDrive basic setting, the engine’s power is boosted to noticeable effect when accelerating or during quick bursts of speed

by the electric drive, whose full torque of 250 Newton metres (184 lb-ft) is on tap from standstill for instantaneous power delivery. The BMW X5 xDrive40e completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.8 seconds.

Alternatively, the MAX eDrive mode can be engaged, enabling the BMW X5 xDrive40e to run purely on electric power – when driving in urban traffic for instance – resulting in zero local emissions. When the high-voltage battery is fully charged, the vehicle has a range of up to 31 kilometres (approx.19 miles) in the all-electric drive mode with a limited maximum speed of 120 km/h (75 mph). The SAVE Battery mode can also be activated at the touch of a button, causing the high-voltage battery’s state of charge to be maintained or allowing energy to be accumulated again, e.g. by means of recuperation, if capacity is low. In this way, electrical energy can be deliberately conserved for all-electric driving later in the journey.

Regardless of the setting chosen with the eDrive button, the power stemming from both drive sources is permanently transmitted to the road via the intelligent all-wheel-drive system, BMW xDrive. The various vehicle set-ups that can be selected with the Driving Experience Control switch – COMFORT, SPORT and ECO PRO – are also available in all drive modes.

Hybrid-specific products and services from BMW ConnectedDrive and BMW 360° ELECTRIC.

All of the driver assistance systems and mobility services from BMW ConnectedDrive offered as standard or as optional extras for the BMW X5 are also available to provide enhanced driving pleasure in the model variant with eDrive technology. An intelligent energy management function is also offered as a special model-specific feature that can be used in conjunction with the Navigation system Professional which is fitted as standard in the BMW X5 xDrive40e. Whenever route guidance is active, data on the route profile is factored into powertrain control along with real-time traffic information. When driving medium to long distances, the system can therefore ensure it is possible to drive purely on electric power on urban sections by using Brake Energy Regeneration and managing the high-voltage battery’s energy reserves in a targeted and efficient manner.

The hybrid-specific version of the BMW Remote app makes it possible to check the high-voltage battery’s state of charge, locate public charging stations or call up efficiency evaluations for the BMW X5 xDrive40e on a smartphone. The auxiliary heating and ventilation functions can also be activated remotely.

The BMW i Wallbox Pure and BMW i Wallbox Pro, including installation service, are available for home charging as part of the BMW 360° ELECTRIC concept, offering customers a particularly fast and convenient means of recharging the high-voltage battery while parked. Model-specific assistance services are also available. The ChargeNow service provides cash-free access to an extensive partner network of charging stations and billing of the charging costs with the ChargeNow card. The mobility service ParkNow Longterm, meanwhile, makes it easier to find a parking space or locate and book a parking spot with charging facilities.

Wide-ranging equipment options.

The comprehensive standard specification of the BMW X5 on the plug-in hybrid model is extended to include the Navigation system Professional as well as an auxiliary heating and ventilation system. This is powered by electricity from the high-voltage battery or from the mains supply while charging. The BMW X5 xDrive40e additionally comes equipped as standard with the Adaptive Suspension Package Comfort including rear air suspension and Dynamic Damper Control.

Beyond this, practically all the optional extras offered for the BMW X5 can also be specified for the plug-in hybrid model. The Design Pure Experience and Pure Excellence packages for the exterior and interior are also available for the BMW X5 xDrive40e, as are the M Sport package and the bespoke features from BMW Individual.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures, specific CO2 emission values and the electric power consumption of new passenger cars is included in the following guideline: “Leitfaden über Kraftstoffverbrauch, die CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer Personenkraftwagen” (Guideline for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption of new passenger cars), which can be obtained from all dealerships, from the Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at http://www.dat.de/en/offers/publications/guideline-for-fuel-consumption.html.

The new BMW X5.

World’s most successful Sports Activity Vehicle sets new benchmarks for driving pleasure, luxury and innovation.

Singapore. BMW Asia has unveiled the third-generation BMW X5, an all-round Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) that is equipped to meet the most exacting and varied demands. The new BMW X5 will make its local debut in three variants; a V8-powered BMW X5 xDrive50i with up to 450hp, the 306hp petrol six-cylinder engine BMW X5 xDrive35i and a six-cylinder in-line diesel-powered BMW X5 xDrive30d with up to 258hp.

As BMW’s first SAV, the BMW X5 literally started the premium SAV segment and has since become a global best-seller of its class with more than 1.3 million units sold worldwide since the launch of the first generation X5.

“Thanks to Efficient Dynamics technology, the new BMW X5 has definitely surpassed its predecessor in terms of raised performance and reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This is achieved through measures including intelligent lightweight construction techniques and

aerodynamic optimisation. Compared to its predecessor, the overall power output of the new BMW X5 xDrive50i has increased by 10 percent and it is also 16 percent more fuel efficient than before,” said Mr Sethipong Anutarasoti, Corporate Affairs Director of BMW Group Asia.

“Further, the range of Connected Drive features is now more extensive than ever, and includes several innovative driver assistance systems such as: Collision Warning System with braking function and Attention Assistant, which are unique among the BMW X5’s rivals.”

The new BMW X5 also impresses with its outstanding practicality, headlined by its 40: 20: 40 split/folding rear seat backrest, load capacity rising from 650 to a maximum 1,870 litres and a total of seven seats.
