Munich. Autumn 2025 adds revised powertrains, new features and practical details to the current BMW model range. The entry-level models into the world of BMW M – the BMW M240i xDrive Coupé as well as the corresponding models in the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series – will in future have more powerful and fuel-efficient petrol engines. In the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé and the BMW i4, the optional Adaptive LED Headlights will now also include laser rear lights.

More power, reduced consumption for BMW M240i xDrive Coupé and the entry-level models into the world of BMW M in the BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series.

Autumn 2025 will see both the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.5 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 172 g/km; CO₂ class F) and the BMW M340i xDrive Touring (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.9 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 181 g/km; CO₂ class G) fitted with a more powerful variant of the 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line petrol engine. It now has an output of 288 kW/392 hp, with the mild hybrid system contributing 9 kW/12 hp. The overall increase in power over the previous model is 13 kW/18 hp. Maximum torque has also increased by 40 Nm, to 540 Nm.

This revised powertrain will in future also be fitted in the BMW M440i xDrive Coupé (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.7 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 175 g/km; CO₂ class F), the BMW M440i xDrive Convertible (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.7 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 176 g/km; CO₂ class G) and the BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 7.8 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 179 g/km; CO₂ class G).

The output increase makes for even more dynamic performance in the BMW 3 Series and BMW 4 Series models mentioned above. It shaves 0.1 seconds off the time it takes each model to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. As a result, the BMW M340i xDrive Sedan can now perform this sprint in just 4.3 seconds. The BMW M240i xDrive Coupé (WLTP combined (EnVKV): fuel consumption 8.0 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 183 g/km; CO₂ class G) now also comes fitted with this more powerful engine.

In addition to the output boost, all models benefit from a significant increase in engine efficiency. As a result, the WLTP fuel consumption of the BMW M240i xDrive Coupé, for example, drops from 8.8–8.7 litres/100 km to 8.0 litres/100 km. CO₂ emissions were likewise reduced, from the previous 200–199 g/km to 183 g/km (see table below for all fuel consumption and emissions figures of the new powertrains).

New exterior colours for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, Adaptive LED headlights available for more BMW 4 Series models, practical addition for the BMW 5 Series family.
From autumn 2025, an additional exterior colour will be available as an option for all versions of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé with the M Sport design or the M Sport package. Cape York Green can be ordered for the first time in conjunction with these trim levels.

The optional Adaptive LED Headlights for the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé and BMW i4 will also benefit from a significant upgrade. In addition to headlights that will illuminate the road evenly in every situation, this option will now also include laser rear lights. Moreover, Adaptive LED Headlights are also available as an individual option without the M Sport package Pro for the BMW 420i, BMW 420d and BMW 420d xDrive.

In conjunction with Veganza and Merino upholstery, the comprehensive standard equipment in the BMW X3 now also includes rear headrests and side sections of the second row of seats in the upholstery colour. This further enhances the premium appeal of the BMW X3 interior.

All BMW 5 Series, BMW i5 and BMW M5 Sedan and Touring models will in future offer a very handy feature. A coat hook on the B-pillar trim, provided as standard, makes transporting jackets and coats particularly easy.

Improvements related to BMW Connected Drive.
From autumn 2025, the Charging Guide in the Explore tab of the My BMW app will offer relevant help on all aspects of charging – e.g., “How do I charge?”, or “How do I optimise charging?” This helps to make charging stops as convenient and efficient as possible.

BMW Maps charge-optimised route planning for all-electric vehicles is now also available in BMW vehicles with Operating System 8 and 8.5 in Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Serbia and Singapore.

* All new models available with start of production in November or December 2025.

Munich. Electric drivetrain upgrades, new engine variants, as well as additional standard and optional equipment features will make the current BMW model range even more attractive and versatile in spring 2025. The use of new components for the power electronics and other measures designed to optimise efficiency have resulted in a considerably increased range for the all-electric BMW i5. Standard equipment on all BMW 5 Series models will soon include ambient lighting complete with a BMW Interaction Bar featuring a crystalline surface, lumbar support for both front seats as well as the Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system. 

Two new variants of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé will become available in April 2025. The BMW X3 model range will likewise be expanded, with a powerful six-cylinder in-line diesel engine. Almost 50 per cent higher charging rates – that’s the news for the plug-in hybrid variants of the BMW X1, BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW 7 Series and the BMW XM models. With the BMW Digital Key Plus, owners can, depending on the type of mobile device, activate up to 18 digital vehicle keys with individually configured access permissions. The new tyre repair kit Plus will become part of the standard equipment for selected BMW models from March 2025. It enables owners to continue their journey even with a tyre puncture. Adaptive LED Headlights will become part of the standard equipment for the BMW X5 and BMW X6 models in spring 2025. 

BMW i5 and BMW i5 Touring now even more energy-efficient.

From March 2025 the all-electric models of the BMW 5 Series Sedan and BMW 5 Series Touring will benefit from a number of technical advances that reduce their energy consumption. The result is a noticeably greater range, with an increase of up to 47 kilometres (depending on the model and equipment installed as part of an individual vehicle configuration). This owes much to the first ever use of silicon carbide semiconductor components in the power electronics (SiC converter) of the BMW i5 and to particularly low-rolling-resistance tyres fitted to aerodynamic alloy wheels. The optimised wheel bearings will also help save power.

19" aerodynamic wheels 1056 bi-colour are available for the first time as an option for the BMW i5 eDrive40 (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): energy consumption 18.0–17.9 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A) and the BMW i5 xDrive40 (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): energy consumption 18.9–18.8 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A).

The optimisations for the new BMW i5 xDrive40 Touring (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): energy consumption 19.5–19.4 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A) lower WLTP energy consumption by up to 9 per cent (depending on model and equipment installed as part of an individual vehicle configuration), while the new BMW i5 eDrive40 saves up to 8 per cent. 

Standard equipment on the BMW i5 M60 xDrive (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): energy consumption 19.5 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class A) now includes the M Sport package Pro. In addition, the BMW 5 Series models benefit from further interior upgrades. From now on, all models include the previously optional ambient lighting with the BMW Interaction Bar featuring a crystalline surface as standard. In addition, they now come with lumbar support for both front seats, as well as the Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system. The switchgear in the doors has also been upgraded and is now finished in high-gloss Black. BMW Individual Merino Leather in Black/Dark Violet is available as a new option for customising the interior.

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé: Two additional powertrain variants.
The new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé model range available from March 2025 will include a new entry-level variant. The new BMW 216 Gran Coupé (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): fuel consumption 6.4 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions 145 g/km; CO₂ class E) offers a particularly attractive introduction to the world of hallmark BMW driving pleasure. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine has 90 kW/122 hp of power and a peak torque of 230 Nm. The standard seven-speed double-clutch Steptronic transmission directs engine power to the front wheels. Accelerating the new BMW 216 Gran Coupé from 0 to 100 km/h takes 9.9 seconds.

The new BMW 223 xDrive Gran Coupé (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): fuel consumption 6.4–6.3 litres/100 km; CO₂ emissions 144 g/km; CO₂ class E) adds an all-wheel drive variant with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology to the range. Its four-cylinder petrol engine and integrated electric motor deliver a total system output of 160 kW/218 hp. This powertrain adds to the car’s efficiency and is capable of particularly fast responses. The new BMW 223 xDrive Gran Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. Production of the two new
BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé models will start in March 2025 at the BMW Group plant in Leipzig, Germany. The BMW kidney Iconic Glow is available as part of the Innovation package and enables a purposeful customisation of the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé’s exterior. It provides unique visuals, especially after dark. This option can also be ordered for the BMW 1 Series.

BMW X3 40d xDrive: Especially powerful six-cylinder diesel.
A 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line diesel from the latest BMW Group engine generation will complement the BMW X3 powertrain range from May 2025. It will make the new BMW X3 40d xDrive (combined, WLTP (EnVKV): fuel consumption 6.7 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions 177 g/km; CO₂ class G) the most powerful diesel variant of this premium executive Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). Its highly efficient powertrain offers 48-volt mild-hybrid technology, a combined output of 223 kW/303 hp and 670 Nm of peak torque. The system’s electric motor is integrated into the eight‑speed Steptronic transmission. The new BMW X3 40d xDrive takes 5.4 seconds to get to 100 km/h from a standing start; its top speed is 245 km/h. It is produced at the BMW Group Plant Rosslyn in South Africa.

Higher charging rates for everyday driving without generating local emissions.
A faster AC charging rate, increased from 7.4 kW to 11 kW, will result in significantly reduced charging times for various BMW plug-in hybrid models from March 2025. This will benefit the plug-in hybrid variants of the BMW X1, BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, BMW 7 Series and all BMW XM models.

BMW Digital Key Plus as standard in the new BMW iX.

In the new BMW iX, the BMW Digital Key Plus will become the driver’s first choice for vehicle access from March 2025. The package also includes a physical key, a Setup Card and a Service Card. The new Setup Card makes installing the Digital Key Plus on a smartphone easier than ever. Users can simply hold the card close to their mobile device or scan the QR code on the back. Once activated, drivers can safely share the Digital Key Plus with others, using a simple text message. Depending on the mobile device, up to 18 digital keys can be activated soon. Different roles and permissions can be set for the vehicle when sharing the keys. For example, the vehicle’s acceleration and top speed can be limited – a particularly useful feature for novice drivers. Moreover, the BMW Digital Key Plus enables additional control functions from the vehicle’s vicinity, such as having the BMW iX enter or exit a parking space via the My BMW app. And if there ever is a need to hand over a physical key, for example for service visits or in the event of a breakdown, the new Service Card can be activated as a full-fledged key with a single click.

Other digital improvements and enhancements.
The popular YouTube* video app has been available for vehicles with BMW Operating System 9 since January 2025, provided the customer has activated BMW Digital Premium. Furthermore, the Personal eSIM in BMW Operating System 9 can now be activated for improved telephony and a WiFi hotspot in the vehicle. Vehicles with BMW Operating System 8.5 benefit from a more intuitive BMW Maps interface.

Tyre repair kit Plus: Remaining mobile the easy way.

The new tyre repair kit Plus, part of the standard equipment for selected BMW models from March 2025, enables customers to continue their journey even with a tyre puncture. This requires just a few simple steps that are explained in the vehicle’s Integrated Owner’s Handbook. The one-piece tyre repair kit includes a magnet and connector pin to secure it to the hub of the affected wheel. A hose then fills the tyre with air and aerosol sealant using an integrated compressor. Once a sufficient tyre pressure above 1.5 bar has been achieved, the journey can be continued, with the device safely attached to the wheel hub. Drivers can now

cover a range of up to 200 kilometres at a top speed of 80 km/h. This should easily get them to the nearest service centre. From spring 2025 the BMW X1, BMW X2, BMW iX and various models of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer will come with this equipment feature. The tyre repair kit Plus is also included with the models of the BMW 5 Series Sedan (except for the BMW 5 Series Sedan with all-electric or plug-in hybrid drive and standard 19-inch light alloy wheels Triplex-spoke style 933 Silver).

BMW X5, BMW X6, BMW X7 and BMW M5: Added equipment.
The comprehensive standard equipment on the BMW X5 and BMW X6 will from spring 2025 include adaptive matrix LED headlights. The BMW X7 will always come with the Parking Assistant Professional. Standard equipment for the M60i xDrive powertrain version of all three model series will also include the M Sport package Pro, the Harman Kardon surround sound system and sun protection glazing.

The BMW M5 will also benefit from more comprehensive equipment. Two new upholstery options are available to add special accents to the interior. In addition to BMW Individual Taupe Grey/Deep Lagoon Merino Leather, BMW Individual Black/Dark Violet Merino Leather is available as a new colourway. In all BMW M5 variants, as well as in all BMW 5 Series Sedan and BMW 5 Series Touring models, the trim and switches for the power windows, mirror adjustment and tailgate button are finished in high-gloss Black with a 3D effect as standard.

New light alloy wheels for BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and BMW X1.

17-inch light alloy wheels Star-spoke style 875 will be available for various BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and BMW X1 models from March 2025.

Munich. The new BMW 5 Series Touring is now on the road. The first vehicles were delivered to customers in Europe and Japan a few days ago. Now in its sixth generation, the sporty all-rounder in the premium segment of the upper mid-range vehicle segment is being launched for the first time as the all-electric BMW i5 Touring. Two models with purely electric drive and two with highly efficient four-cylinder diesel engines are available for the market launch. By summer 2024, the range of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and Sedan will be extended to include additional models with plug-in hybrid drive and an in-line six-cylinder diesel engine.

The Bavarian premium car manufacturer is systematically continuing the electrification of its model range with the BMW i5 Touring and the soon-to-be-available plug-in hybrid versions of the new BMW 5 Series Touring. The top model of the new series is the BMW i5 M60 xDrive Touring* with up to 442 kW/601 hp. At its side is the new BMW i5 eDrive40 Touring* with an output of up to 250 kW/340 hp and a range of up to 560 kilometres (348 miles) determined in the WLTP test cycle.

In addition, the BMW 520d Touring* and BMW 520d xDrive Touring* models, which are particularly popular in Europe, are now available. Their four-cylinder diesel engine is combined with 48-volt mild hybrid technology and develops a maximum output of 145 kW/197 hp.

Plug-in hybrid drive and BMW xDrive for Sedan and Touring models.

Plug-in hybrid technology will be introduced in the new BMW 5 Series Touring in summer 2024. Two models will be available. The new BMW 530e Touring* transmits the power of its two engines to the rear wheels via an 8-speed Steptronic transmission. In the new BMW 530e xDrive Touring*, intelligent all-wheel drive ensures optimum traction, agility and driving stability in all road conditions. This drive technology combination will also be available in the BMW 5 Series Sedan from summer 2024. The new BMW 530e xDrive Sedan* will be the third model variant of the four-door model with plug-in hybrid system.

The drive system of the three new models consists of a four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor integrated into the 8-speed Steptronic transmission, which together generate a system output of 220 kW/299 hp. The high-voltage battery provides a usable energy content of 19.4 kWh and enables an electric range of 83 to 95 kilometres (51 to 59 miles) for the new BMW 530e Touring, 82 to 89 kilometres (50 to 55 miles) for the new BMW 530e xDrive Touring and 82 to 93 kilometres (50 to 58 miles) for the new BMW 530e xDrive Sedan.

In the new BMW 5 Series Touring, there is also no loss of transport capacity when choosing a plug-in hybrid model. Thanks to the space-saving arrangement of the high-voltage battery in the underbody of the vehicle, the length, width and height of the completely flat luggage compartment are the same as those of the models with combustion engine and all-electric drive. Luggage capacity is 570 litres with all seats occupied and can be increased to 1,700 litres if required.

Available from summer 2024: Six-cylinder in-line diesel engine in the BMW 5 Series.

The range of engines available for the new BMW 5 Series Sedan and Touring models will be extended in summer 2024 to include a straight six-cylinder diesel engine. The drive unit of the BMW 540d xDrive Sedan and BMW 540d xDrive Touring from the BMW Group's latest modular generation is combined with 48-volt mild hybrid technology in the form of a crankshaft starter generator. Together, the combustion engine and the electric motor integrated into the 8-speed Steptronic transmission generate a maximum output of 223 kW/303 hp and a maximum torque of 670 Nm (494 lb/ft).

Torque is distributed fully variably to all four wheels via the intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system. The dynamic power delivery of the in-line six-cylinder diesel engine and the superior power transmission are reflected in the 5.2-second acceleration time from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph), which is the same for both the new BMW 540d xDrive Sedan* and the new BMW 540d xDrive Touring.

The following sales prices (recommended retail prices for Germany including VAT) apply to the model variants of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the first BMW i5 Touring available at market launch or from summer 2024, as well as to the additional model variants of the BMW 5 Series Sedan available from summer 2024:

Munich. Hallmark BMW driving pleasure, a sporty appearance and modern functionality have always helped the BMW 5 Series Touring to occupy a special position in the premium segment of the upper mid-range vehicle segment. The fully electric drive of the BMW i5 Touring in the sixth model generation makes this combination even more attractive. BMW M Performance Parts will also be available for all model variants from market launch in May 2024, underlining the dynamic character of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring in everyday use and on journeys.

The model-specific aerodynamic, interior and suspension retrofit products offer ideal opportunities to individually optimise the dynamic potential and athletic appearance of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring. Products from the Original BMW Accessories programme are already homologated with the complete vehicle, so no separate registration with the registration authorities is required.

Individual appearance, optimised aerodynamics and intelligent lightweight design with high-quality M Performance exterior parts.

The BMW M Performance Parts for the exterior set individual accents in appearance and at the same time fulfil functional requirements in terms of lightweight construction and aerodynamics. They have been specially developed for the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring with M Sport Package or M Sport Package Pro and are perfectly matched to the geometry and design of the vehicle. All Carbon components are made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP), sealed with clear lacquer to achieve a high-quality finish, and give the car a sharp and sporty look from all angles.

The three-part M Performance Carbon front splitter makes a confident statement of exclusive sportiness and enhances the dynamic driving potential of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring. Handcrafted to perfection, it provides performance-oriented downforce as well as a striking appearance. For an even more exclusive look, the M Performance front splitter is also available in high-gloss black on the left and right.

In addition to the M Performance Carbon side sill attachments, which give the vehicle's profile even more visual length and depth, the new M Performance accent stripes in Frozen Black emphasise the dynamically flowing lines of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring. The digitally printed accent stripes are in matt anthracite and feature the M Performance lettering. The M Performance side sill decals, which consist of a striking curved line in matt grey, highlight the vehicle’s profile even further. The decals are located below the doors and provide an elegant colour accent, especially on the black side sills. The exclusive M Performance Frozen Black accent stripes emphasise the sporty elegance and accentuate the shoulder area along the entire length of the vehicle. The high-quality film set is road wash resistant and optimised for the vehicle geometry of the BMW 5 Series Touring and the BMW i5 Touring.

The striking M Carbon exterior mirror caps and the M Performance Aramid aerial cover provide further accents for the individual and sporty profile of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring. Aramid-reinforced plastic is very similar to CFRP, but has a high electromagnetic permeability.

The three-piece M Performance rear diffuser is also made from aramid. It emphasises the powerfully designed rear of the vehicle even more impressively and also enables the luggage compartment lid to be opened and closed without touching it. The M Performance high-gloss black roof spoiler and M Performance Carbon rear fins add a touch of sportiness and elegance.

High-quality interior options bring racing flair to the cockpit.

The M Performance Carbon door sill trims are an unmistakable sign of the dynamic orientation of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring. With their M Performance lettering, they are an eye-catching feature when the doors are open. For a particularly elegant first impression, M aluminium door sill trims are also available. The M Performance door projector slides supplement the existing BMW LED door projector with three interchangeable M Performance graphics and provide a particularly characteristic entry and exit experience even at dusk.

The M Performance floor mats with leather-look edging, contrasting stitching and a seam in BMW M colours add a sporty touch to the interior. The purist design and precise workmanship of the M Performance stainless steel pedal pads with asymmetric rubber profiles give the driver's footwell an unmistakably dynamic, high-tech look.

The M Performance key case also makes a clear performance statement on any occasion. Made from Alcantara and high quality leather in a carbon fibre look, the perfectly-fitting protective cover protects the vehicle key from scratches and is a perfect addition to the range of BMW M Performance Parts. The M Performance Carbon fuel filler cap is also available for the combustion engine and plug-in hybrid variants of the new BMW 5 Series Touring. It is particularly easy to fit and features M Performance lettering on brushed aluminium.

Light alloy wheels and sport brake system for optimised performance.

The M Performance light alloy wheels available for the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the all-electric BMW i5 Touring are ideally suited to a sporty driving style and make for a highly distinctive look. Both summer wheel with tyre sets and winter wheel with tyre sets in the dimensions 19, 20 and 21 inches are available.

The summer wheel with tyre set with 21-inch M Performance Cross Spoke light alloy wheels is available for all drive types in either M Bicolor Jet Black gloss finish or M Frozen Midnight Grey. For all model variants the 19-inch M Performance light alloy wheels in Y-Spoke design in Matt Black are also available as a summer wheel with tyre set. The corresponding winter wheel with tyre set, which is also suitable for snow chains with the exception of the largest rim width, are also available with an extra soft tyre compound or studded tyres.

Also available for the cold season: 20-inch M aerodynamic wheel with tyre set in burnished Bicolour Midnight Grey finish. They give all variants of the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the new BMW i5 Touring a particularly exclusive touch, even in winter. Additional wheel sets are ideally stowed in the M Performance tyre bags. A reinforced handle makes it easy to transport the wheels and protects both the driver and the vehicle from dirt.

The M Performance 20-inch brake system ensures a deceleration performance worthy of the name and short braking distances. Its red-painted brake calipers featuring the four-colour M logo look particularly distinctive in conjunction with the open rim design of the 21-inch light alloy wheels. The sport brake system is fitted with six-piston aluminium fixed calipers at the front and single-piston floating calipers at the rear to provide deceleration. The large-format, internally ventilated and perforated M Performance lightweight brake discs provide improved thermal load-bearing capacity and thus deliver even higher breaking power under extreme conditions.

The core elements of the solution are the BMW / MINI Wallbox Plus as an intelligent charge point a smart meter with back-end connection as a basis for all Connected Home Charging services, and all installation and set up work by E.ON. Customers can make system settings intuitively in the familiar MyBMW App or MINI App.

The digital and automated control of energy flows allows residents of buildings with PV power generation to benefit from lower charging costs and increase their level of self-sufficiency, while the optimised use of green energy contributes to climate protection.

The price of the Connected Home Charging package for customers in Germany, depending on installation is €1,769 including VAT. After 3 years, the smart services can be extended via the BMW / MINI Connected Drive Store.

The Connected Home Charging package can also be ordered for BMW i4, i5, i7, iX1, iX2, iX3, iX, MINI Cooper SE, MINI Countryman SE and all BMW / MINI plug-in hybrids delivered before April 2024 via all BMW / MINI retailers.

Home and electric car as a shared energy ecosystem 

With the Connected Home Charging Package from BMW and E.ON, for example, solar surplus charging can be used: The electric car can be charged with the energy produced on the roof.

"Together with E.ON, we are making the car a key element of the smart home, with BMW and MINI electric cars at its heart. This brings balance to the private energy ecosystem, reducing energy costs for our customers and improving their carbon footprint by optimising the use of green energy. The cooperation will also enable us to integrate intelligently into the energy market in the future," says Dominik Becks, Head of New Business Areas for Energy Services at the BMW Group.

"Because green driving doesn't work without green charging, I'm delighted that we are working with BMW to offer drivers of electric BMWs and MINIs not only energy management but also solar charging as a first step. This will allow drivers to choose whether they want to charge their cars using their own solar power. According to our survey, 67 percent of electric car drivers in Germany, who live in their own house, have a solar system. So we are convinced that our joint Connected Home Charging solution can offer many people added value for even more efficient energy use," says Mathias Wiecher, CCO of E.ON Drive.

Joint implementation of bidirectional charging

As part of the cooperation between BMW and E.ON, more features will be implemented in the future. This includes cost-optimised charging, which allows customers to participate in price trends on the electricity market, in order to charge at particularly low prices at certain times. With the BMW New Class from 2025, the Connected Home Charging offer will also be extended to include bi-directional charging. This technology allows customers to use the high-voltage battery of the electric vehicle as a storage unit and later feed the stored electricity back into the grid or use it in their own household.

Both partners can also draw on the results of joint research projects on bi-directional charging with a fleet of BMW i3.

BMW / MINI Charging: Charging on the go with convenience, transparency and high network coverage.

In addition to intelligent solutions for home charging, customers can also rely on convenient solutions from BMW / MINI Charging when charging on the go. The main advantage is the attractive kilowatt-hour prices for AC and DC charging in the Active tariff in Europe, regardless of the charging infrastructure operator and regardless of the price displayed at the charging station.

The High Power Charging network of the BMW Group subsidiary IONITY is also integrated into the BMW charging network.

With just one registration, BMW / MINI Charging offers access to more than 588,000 public charging points in 29 countries in Europe alone. With coverage of more than 95 percent of all public charging networks, BMW / MINI Charging is one of the top providers.

BMW / MINI Charging customers worldwide have access to more than two million charging points, in collaboration with international partners.

The Multi Contract function is groundbreaking and unique. Customers can store up to five individual Plug & Charge-capable traction current contracts from different providers digitally in the vehicle. The authentication required for the charging process and billing takes place automatically at compatible charging points.

Munich. More dynamic than ever, brimming with digital innovations, with a spacious interior exuding a premium feel and – in the shape of the BMW i5, with a fully electric drivetrain for the first time, the new BMW 5 Series reinforces its claim to leadership in the premium executive class. For the members of the World Car Awards expert jury, it was the standout new arrival among the field of luxury vehicles which celebrated their debuts in the world’s car markets over the past 12 months. The international panel of experts therefore handed the BMW 5 Series the crown of World Luxury Car 2024. The results were announced today at the start of the New York International Auto Show 2024 as part of a ceremony broadcast worldwide via streaming services.

The success of the BMW 5 Series was underpinned by assessments carried out during extensive test drives by the around 100 car journalists from 30 countries that made up the jury. These ratings were then recorded in detail by the World Car Awards organisers. The BMW 5 Series fended off competition from a field of 13 new luxury vehicles, winning over the jury not only with the majestic power delivery from its portfolio of electrified combustion engines as well as the electric drive system, but also with its high comfort levels over long-distance journeys and numerous digital innovations. “We are very pleased to receive this prestigious award. The verdict of the international jury shows that our strong-character products with their typical BMW qualities convince and inspire demanding target groups all over the world,” said Bernd Körber, Senior Vice President BMW Brand and Product Management, Connected Company.

BMW 5 Series: Consistent electrification and digital innovations.

The BMW 5 Series displays its progressive character with its powertrain technology, its innovative digital services as well as an elegantly sporty design, generous levels of cabin space, optimised acoustic comfort and a progressive premium ambience for the interior. Advanced assistance systems like the motorway assistant and active Lane Change Assistant with eye confirmation emphasise the long-distance qualities of the BMW 5 Series. With the display and control/operation system BMW iDrive with QuickSelect, the BMW Curved Display and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with extended functionality all on board, the i5 is comprehensively set up for user-vehicle interaction via touch control and natural speech. When the car is stationary, BMW 5 Series occupants can explore the extensive video streaming offering on the control display and enjoy a new form of in-car gaming – e.g. to make use of the time when the high-voltage battery is charging.

As a fully integrated member of the new BMW 5 Series model range, the BMW i5 offers locally emission-free driving pleasure. The driving dynamics and efficiency of the BMW i5 have their roots in fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology. This comprises highly integrated drive units and high-voltage batteries with extremely high energy density. In addition, the latest evolution of adaptive recuperation and an intelligent combination of heat pump technology for heating and cooling the interior, drive system and high-voltage battery help the car to achieve a range of up to 582 kilometres (362 miles) in the WLTP cycle, depending on the model and specification. The Combined Charging Unit of the BMW i5 enables AC charging at a rate of up to 22 kW and DC charging at up to 205 kW. This means the car’s range can be boosted by up to 156 kilometres (97 miles) within just 10 minutes when plugged into a fast-charging station.

The entire combustion engine portfolio has also been electrified. A flexibly designed drive architecture that was open to different technologies from the outset enables the new BMW 5 Series Sedan to be offered for the first time as an all-electric model, with plug-in hybrid systems and with highly efficient petrol and diesel engines. The combustion engines from the new modular generation of BMW Group Efficient Dynamics engines all feature the latest version of 48-volt mild hybrid technology.

BMW wins title number nine in the World Car Awards.

The World Car Awards were created 20 years ago to stand alongside national and regional distinctions as an acknowledgement of outstanding innovations and new products in car markets worldwide. This year, the awards were presented in a total of five categories in addition to the overall prize.

Over the years, BMW has collected eight wins in the World Car Awards. One of the victors was the BMW 7 Series, which was crowned World Luxury Car in 2016 already. In 2018, the title of World Performance Car was presented to the BMW M5. This ninth title win for the Bavarian premium carmaker is the latest in a long line of distinctions amassed by the new BMW 5 Series over the past few months. For instance, the all-electric version alone adds to the trophy collection with a total of three „Car of the Year“ awards from Norway, Denmark and Italy.

Dingolfing. BMW Group Plant Dingolfing has today celebrated the official start of production for the new BMW 5 Series Touring. The newcomer is the first premium vehicle in its segment to feature not just a petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid drive but also a fully electric one. That makes the BMW i5 Touring the fourth all-electric model to enter series production at Plant Dingolfing in not even three years.

“Our BMW 5 Series Touring is especially important for Germany and the European market, and a lot of customers have been waiting for it,” said Plant Director Christoph Schröder. But at the end of May, the wait will be over, because that’s when the new Touring – now in its sixth generation – will reach dealers’ showrooms and the first cars are handed over to customers. The new model is already available to order now.

Since launching the first generation in 1991, Plant Dingolfing in Lower Bavaria has been the sole producer of the BMW 5 Series Touring, with more than 1.2 million rolling off its production lines over the years. Like its predecessor, the new BMW 5 Series Touring – irrespective of drive – is manufactured flexibly alongside the BMW 5 Series Sedan and BMW 4 Series and 6 Series models, all on a single production line. Investments in the plant for the new BMW 5 Series Touring amount to approx. 80 million euros.

“For us here in Dingolfing, the BMW 5 Series is part of our DNA,” explained Plant Director Christoph Schröder, “and the launch of the new Touring represents the next step in the renewal of our successful model series.” Last year BMW 5 Series vehicles accounted for about a third of output from Dingolfing. But with the Touring now available, numbers could rise significantly in 2024, potentially nearing the 50 percent mark.

Woodcliff Lake / Munich. BMW will return to the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 11, 2024 with a new 60-second advertisement for the all-new generation of the iconic BMW 5 Series, highlighted by the first-ever, 100%-electric BMW i5. The star-studded commercial entitled “Talkin’ Like Walken,” also features another icon –  Hollywood icon Christopher Walken – along with actress Ashley Park (Emily in Paris, Beef, Joy Ride), and GRAMMY^® Award Winning global superstar and Super Bowl LVIII halftime performer, USHER.

The 60-second spot plays off of Walken’s instantly recognizable voice and signature speech cadence, following the actor throughout a typical day as he encounters a never-ending stream of imitators – from his hotel valet, his tailor, makeup artist, and even his drive-through barista. Initially confused by the mimics, Walken grows increasingly frustrated. The spot culminates in a chance encounter with USHER, with Walken asking: “Don’t you got somewhere to be?” “Talkin’ Like Walken” is set to air during the first quarter of Super Bowl LVIII.

“I really enjoyed working with BMW, they are a wonderful company and electric cars are important,” said Walken. “I look forward to sharing the work we did together.”

“It’s an honor of a lifetime to perform at the Super Bowl and so great to work with BMW,” said USHER. “Making the commercial was a cool experience, and I hope you all enjoy it.”

BMW’s lead U.S. creative agency, Goodby Silverstein & Partners (GS&P), created the comical campaign. It was directed by two-time Academy Award–nominated director Bryan Buckley, who is acclaimed for his work on close to 70 Super Bowl commercials. Famed cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema (Oppenheimer and Interstellar) directed the photography.

“When you think about the perfect Super Bowl ad, you quickly realize that there’s a recipe for success,” said Marcus Casey, Chief Marketing Officer, BMW of North America. “Not that it’s easy, but if you start with an exciting new product, an A-List Hollywood star, a great script, and a talented team, and add to that mix, the multitalented Ashley Park, and a global superstar such as USHER, you have the makings of a hilarious, memorable spot.”

In the lead-up to the big game, BMW released two teasers for the spot. The first, “Agent,” poked fun at the tradition of Super Bowl ad teasers with Walken quizzically asking his agent, “So it’s an ad for an ad?” A second, follow-up teaser titled “Singing” featured Walken driving the electric BMW i5 while listening to USHER’s hit song, “Yeah!”, foreshadowing the singer’s surprise appearance.

“Christopher Walken is iconic, as is the BMW 5 Series. It’s one icon working with another, creating a synergy of two legendary figures. You wait your whole life to make a campaign like this,” added Rich Silverstein, Co-Chairman and Co-Founder of GS&P. “The reality is everyone has a Walken impression. But there’s only one original.”

The campaign will also involve social media extensions including a TikTok activation which challenges creators to give their own spin on a Walken impression to get all of social media #TalkinlikeWalken.

The BMW 5 Series.

More dynamic than ever, the all-new eighth generation BMW 5 Series is available for the first time with a fully electric drivetrain as the BMW i5. In addition to its sporty, elegant design, and signature BMW driving dynamics, the new BMW 5 Series features a wealth of digital innovations and technological advances including the newest iteration of BMW’s “Highway Assistant” which enables attentive hands-free driving at speeds up to 85 mph where conditions and speed limits allow.

Munich. Digital, dynamic and, for the first time, fully electric as a BMW i5. The new generation of the BMW 5 Series sets standards, including when it comes to vehicle safety. Independent institutes in Europe, the USA and Korea each gave the BMW 5 Series Sedan top marks. The testers were impressed by both the active assistance systems and passive safety.

5-star rating at Euro NCAP.

The independent safety experts from the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) awarded the eighth generation of the BMW 5 Series Sedan the highest rating of five stars.

The extensive standard equipment with safety-relevant driver assistance systems makes a significant contribution to the 5-star rating. All driver assistance systems used in the new BMW 5 Series are among the best on the market and impressed Euro NCAP safety experts with their range of functions and reliable responses.

The new BMW 5 Series Sedan also scored points in the area of passive safety with its innovative integrated safety concept, which was constantly being further developed by BMW. In addition to highly resilient support structures and precisely designed deformation paths, a model-specific combination of precisely coordinated restraint systems is used.

The Euro NCAP assessments are a Europe-wide recognized standard for accident safety and are constantly being further developed. An award with the highest rating of five stars goes exclusively to vehicles that have excellent impact protection and are also well equipped with comprehensive and practical technology to prevent accidents.

TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in the USA.

The US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also gave the best rating with a rating as TOP SAFETY PICK+. The standard assistance system for preventing frontal accidents was particularly convincing here, which achieved excellent ratings in both day and night tests. In combination with the lighting system, the “plus” in the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating was decisive. It is the highest award that this institute awards.

In various collision tests, the integrated safety concept of the new BMW 5 Series also proved to guarantee that comprehensive protection against injuries is always guaranteed regardless of the size and sitting position of the occupants.

The test procedure of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is the standard for the comprehensive safety assessment of new vehicles on the American market, which is important for the BMW 5 Series, and an essential basis for decisions by fleet customers in the USA. 

“Safest Car of the Year” at KNCAP in South Korea

In the Republic of Korea, the Ministry of Transport awarded the BMW i5 the “Safest Car of the Year” award. Only the vehicle that scores the highest number of KNCAP points in the respective year receives this award. At the official presentation of the award in Korea, Dominik Schuster, Head of Vehicle Safety at the BMW Group, emphasized the importance of this award: “Top KNCAP ratings underline our safety-focused development process and prove the BMW Group's commitment to continuous improvement of vehicle safety.”

The independent testers were particularly impressed by the performance of passive safety. They saw 99.5% of these met. In Korea full points were still scored for emergency braking systems to protect pedestrians and cyclists. Some driver assistance systems also received the maximum rating.

The title “Safest Car of the Year” impressively demonstrates the BMW Group's pioneering role in one of the world's most important individual markets for the BMW 5 Series Sedan.

Munich/Sölden. To round off the year, BMW is inviting international media to Sölden, to Innovation @Summit, on the Austrian glacier. Absolute highlight: in addition to the BMW 5 Series launched in October, innovative highlights in the areas of driverless@Developement, artificial intelligence and highly automated driving will be presented. During intensive test drives under winter conditions, the smart business sedan and Driverless @Developement vehicles can demonstrate their dynamic driving qualities several times over.

BMW 5 Series impresses with unique handling on ice and snow.

In the new BMW 5 Series, the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) driving stability control, the near-actuator wheel slip limitation and the drive control are interlinked in such a way that they can flexibly coordinate and complement each other in any driving situation. The integrated application of all drive and chassis systems is the prerequisite for the excellent handling characteristics of the BMW 5 Series in winter testing. The more demanding the conditions, the more the purely electric model variant of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan impresses with the speed and precision of its control systems. It offers a harmony of optimal traction when starting off and superior driving stability when cornering or when braking, which is unique in the competitive environment. 

With the latest battery cell technology and intelligently controlled heat management, the fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology, which has been further developed for the new BMW i5, enables a long range and short charging times during stops, even at extreme sub-zero temperatures. “Powered by Austrian Engineering”: The development center in Steyr is exclusively responsible for all BMW Group electric vehicles.

Innovation in vehicle testing: Driverless @Developement, at BMW Group, increases efficiency and quality in the development of vehicles and technologies. Testing is now taking place on Austria's highest glacier, together with international media.

Since 2002, the BMW Group has been working on automatically operating test vehicles on test sites. The innovative, new Driver-less @Development program massively increases efficiency and quality in the development of new vehicles and technologies. In addition, automating recurring, monotonous driving situations relieves employees, including when testing driver assistance systems and automated vehicle functions. Increased development speed and quality improvement are achieved through better reproducibility and reduction of error frequencies, for example when comparing components. Another advantage of Driver-less @Development is the reduction of the risk of accidents and the improved health of BMW employees through physical and psychological relief.

The BMW Group will provide further insights at workshops on the topics of highly automated driving and the use of AI in the automotive sector.

Technology on the next level: Highly automated driving at Level 2 and Level 3. Automated driving workshop: today and tomorrow.

Take your hands off the wheel and temporarily turn your attention away from traffic — that is highly automated driving at Level 3. BMW Personal Pilot L3 is the name of the new function that relieves customers of the task of driving in defined traffic situations and regulates speed, distance and lane guidance for this purpose. With the introduction of Level 3 functionality in the BMW 7 Series, the BMW Group is the first automotive manufacturer to offer both a Level 2 and a Level 3 function in its product portfolio, which allows hands to be removed from the steering wheel and positioned comfortably. For highly automated driving at level 3, the BMW Personal Pilot L3 is the prerequisite for concentrating on secondary activities away from traffic. The live HD map with exact routes is constantly compared with highly accurate GPS positioning and, in combination with 360° sensors, ensures precise positioning and environmental monitoring. The live HD map is always up to date. In addition to cameras, vehicles equipped with the BMW Personal Pilot L3 also have the latest generation of ultra-sound and radar sensors and a highly sensitive 3D lidar sensor to monitor the environment and traffic conditions.

Thanks to this technology package, the BMW Personal Pilot L3 works very reliably even in darkness. These qualities are unique in a competitive environment. Automated driving at SAE level 3 increases both comfort and safety on public roads.

A particularly innovative, semi-automated driving function at SAE level 2 is already possible with BMW Highway Assist in all models of the new BMW 5 Series. There is also a unique, active lane change assistant with eye confirmation. This function in the new BMW 5 Series is primarily designed for long-distance driving, where it allows you to take a particularly relaxed posture behind the wheel. This additional function of Steering and Lane Guidance Assist provides speed and distance control as well as steering control at speeds of up to 130 km/h.

Performance boost through AI support.

The BMW Group has been using artificial intelligence for several years, for example in production for quality control, in driving assistance systems with computer vision, or indirectly when analyzing change documents or in machine translation. The breakthrough of large language models has opened up many new fields of application and is used, for example, for brainstorming in design, for generating texts, code and images in vehicle development, IT, and marketing and sales. The focus is always on the interplay of man and machine: At the BMW Group, people are at the center of everything the company does.

Ljubljana, oktober 2023. Med 23. in 27. oktobrom 2023 je v Istri potekala predstavitev novega BMW serije 5 in BMW i5 – kot nov simbol trajnostne premium mobilnosti v segmentu vozil višjega srednjega razreda in popolnoma električnega BMW i7 M70 xDrive, ki s 660 konjskih moči in 1100 Nm navora velja za najzmogljivejši električni model v celotnem portfelju BMW Group. Predstavitve se je udeležilo več kot 80 novinarjev in vplivnežev iz Avstrije, Bolgarije, Cipra, Češke, Grčije, Hrvaške, Madžarske, Malte, Nizozemske, Poljske, Romunije, Slovenije in Slovaške.  Ker BMW Group svojo preobrazbo oblikuje s ključnimi elementi elektrifikacije, digitalizacije in krožnega gospodarstva, smo prav tako predstavili strategijo trajnosti v celotnem življenjskem ciklu avtomobila.

Edinstvena izkušnja v vožnji.

Udeleženci dogodka so imeli tekom dneva priložnost vožnje za volanom BMW i5 M60 xDrive, BMW i5 eDrive40, BMW 520d xDrive Limuzina ter BMW i7 M70 xDrive in ob tem izkusiti užitek v vožnji ob spremljavi istrskih gurmanskih užitkov. Pot jih je vodila po Istri, kjer so izkusili luksuz nove sedmice, daljšo vožnjo po avtocestah in vozno dinamiko, ki jo je BMW Serije 5 s svojo močjo in eleganco zmožen tudi na regionalnih cestah.

Osma generacija limuzine BMW serije 5 - digitalna, dinamična in prvič povsem električna kot BMW i5. 

BMW serijo 5 zaznamuje tehnološko odprta in prilagodljiva arhitektura pogona s povsem električnimi, priključno-hibridnimi, bencinskimi in dizelskimi motorji z enotnim konceptom in zasnovo vozila. Jasen, zmanjšan oblikovalski jezik in atletski proporci poudarjajo športno eleganco in prisotnost značilnega dizajna limuzine BMW serije 5.  Napredni BMW iDrive s funkcijo "QuickSelect" in BMW Operating System 8.5. , igranje iger v avtomobilu z igralno platformo AirConsole in novi načini My Modes omogočajo uporabniško izkušnjo na višjem nivoju.
  

BMW serije 5 prvič v povsem električni različici kot BMW i5. 

Vodilno vlogo na poti k trajnostni premium mobilnosti v segmentu vozil višjega srednjega razredaprevzemaosma generacija BMW serije 5, ki je prvič kot najuspešnejša poslovna limuzina na svetu s prepoznavnim dizajnom, edinstvenim ravnovesjem med športnostjo in voznim udobjem, inovativno opremo in naprednimi digitalnimi storitvami na voljo v povsem novi električni različici kot BMW i5. Tako kot vse prejšnje generacije modelov se tudi BMW i5 proizvaja v tovarni BMW Group v Dingolfingu, kjer si BMW Group prizadeva preoblikovati in razvijati tovarne na poti do BMW iFACTORY.

BMW i7 M70 zagotavlja popolno kombinacijo električne mobilnosti in zmogljivosti ter predstavlja edinstveno izkušnjo v svojem segmentu.

BMW i7 M70 xDrive, ki proizvaja največjo moč povsem električnega vozila skupine BMW Group doslej, predstavlja še en mejnik za BMW M GmbH pri preoblikovanju električne mobilnosti. Po uvedbi BMW i4 M50 - najbolje prodajanega modela BMW M GmbH na svetu v letu 2022 - in BMW iX M60 je to zdaj tretji zmogljivi model podjetja s popolnoma električnim pogonskim sistemom. Poganja ga par električnih motorjev, vsak na svoji osi, kar zagotavlja največjo sistemsko moč 485 kW/660 KM in pospešek do 100 km/h v zgolj 3,7 sekundah. Specifični M  oblikovni elementi na bokih in zadku jasno kažejo zmogljivostni značaj najvišje različice modela.

Digitalna predstavitev o trajnosti v celotnem življenjskem ciklu avtomobila.

Annette Connor, vodja korporativnih strategij na področju trajnostnega razvoja in mobilnosti v BMW Group, nam je predstavila trajnostno strategijo v celotnem življenjskem ciklu avtomobila in ob tem povedala: «Strankam želimo zagotoviti preglednost celotnega življenjskega cikla avtomobila in slednje razširiti ne le z osredotočanjem na vpliv C02 na podnebje, temveč tudi na vsa druga področja in razsežnosti trajnostnega razvoja, kot sta krožno gospodarstvo in družbena odgovornost.«

BMW Group si prizadeva pospešiti trajnostni razvoj s popolno elektrifikacijo modelov, ki naj bi do leta 2030 predstavljali 50 % prodaje po vsem svetu, hkrati pa bi še vedno nadaljnjo razvijali tehnologijo motorjev z notranjim zgorevanjem in tehnologijo na vodik.

Munich. Following the initial sales launch in South Korea, the new BMW 5 Series Sedan and the first BMW i5 Sedan are now coming to dealers in numerous other markets. In Germany, the first vehicles will be delivered to customers from 21 October 2023. The market launch also begins in the other European countries on the same day. One week later, on 28 October 2023, the new edition of the BMW 5 Series will make its road debut in the USA. The other global markets will follow on 25 November 2023.

The eighth generation of the world's most successful business sedan will also be offered for the first time as an all-electric BMW i5. Even before sales have begun, incoming orders show that this model variant in particular is meeting with high customer demand and will thus further accelerate the ramp-up of electric mobility pushed by BMW. Right from the start, customers can choose from two variants of the BMW i5. The new BMW i5 eDrive40 Sedan (power consumption combined: 18.9 - 15.9 kWh/100 km according to WLTP) features an output of up to 250 kW/340 hp and a range of 498 to 582 kilometres determined in the WLTP test cycle. The top model of the entire series is the BMW i5 M60 xDrive Sedan with up to 442 kW/601 hp (power consumption combined: 20.6 – 18.2 kWh/100 km according to WLTP).

The new BMW 5 Series Sedan emphasises its progressive character not only with the two all-electric model variants, but also with innovative digital services for in-car gaming, audio and video streaming, among other things, as well as with particularly high-grade driver assistance systems. The highlight in the field of systems for automated driving and parking is the Highway Assistant, which now also enables drivers in Germany to take their hands off the steering wheel for a longer period of time at speeds of up to 130 km/h and place them in a comfortable position, provided they continue to keep a close eye on the traffic situation and are able to take over from the system again at any time if necessary.

The intensive experience of semi-automated driving is complemented by the Automatic Lane Change. With this globally unique function, a glance in the exterior mirror is enough to trigger a lane change, which is then carried out automatically by the system.

The new generation of the BMW 5 Series Touring will celebrate its world premiere in spring 2024. The second body variant of the new BMW 5 Series will be available with the same range of drives as the new BMW 5 Series Sedan. This means that the new BMW 5 Series Touring is the first premium car of its kind to be offered with highly efficient combustion engines including 48-volt mild hybrid technology, plug-in hybrid systems and, for the first time, an all-electric drive. The unique combination of sporty elegance, modern functionality and locally emission-free driving pleasure is developed specifically for the automotive markets in Europe as well as in Japan and Taiwan.

Munich. The new BMW 5 Series Sedan now offers the entire range of electrified drive technology. Just a few weeks after the market launch of the all-electric BMW i5 and the combustion engine variants equipped exclusively with 48-volt mild hybrid technology, two plug-in hybrid models will already be launched in November 2023. The BMW 530e Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 0.8 - 0.6 litres/100 km (62 miles); combined power consumption: 21.7 - 19.9 kWh/100 km (62 miles); combined CO₂ emissions: 17 - 13 g/km according to WLTP; data according to NEDC: -) The BMW 550e xDrive Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 1.0 - 0.8 litres/100 km (62 miles); combined power consumption: 23.2 - 21.6 kWh/100 km (62 miles); combined CO₂ emissions: 23 - 19 g/km according to WLTP; data according to NEDC: -) can be ordered as of now. They are available in Germany at the recommended retail price of 65,300 euros (incl. VAT) for the new BMW 530e Sedan and 77,300 euros (incl. VAT) for the new BMW 550e xDrive Sedan.

In the eighth generation of the world's most successful business sedan, the plug-in hybrid models are characterised by extremely spontaneous power delivery, clearly increased efficiency and a significantly increased electric range. Both models feature the latest BMW eDrive technology for plug-in hybrid systems, which is combined in the BMW 530e Sedan with a four-cylinder petrol engine and in the BMW 550e xDrive Sedan with an in-line six-cylinder petrol engine from the BMW Group's latest Efficient Dynamics modular generation.

Highly integrated drive unit with particularly high efficiency.

The electric motor, specially developed for the hybrid drive, is also integrated into the 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission together with its power electronics. The highly integrated drive unit is particularly efficient and contributes up to 145 kW/197 hp (BMW 550e Sedan) or 135 kW/184 hp (BMW 530e Sedan) to the maximum system output of the two plug-in hybrid sedans.

In combination with the latest generation of BMW eDrive technology for plug-in hybrid models, the 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder petrol engine in the new BMW 550e xDrive Sedan generates a system output of up to 360 kW/489 hp and a maximum system torque of 700 Nm (516 lb-ft). The plug-in hybrid system puts its power to the road by means of BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive. It sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62 miles) in 4.3 seconds. The maximum speed of the BMW 550e xDrive Sedan is electronically cut off at 250 km/h (155 mph). A maximum speed of 140 km/h (87 mph) is possible in purely electric operating mode.

The new BMW 530e Sedan has a 2.0-litre in-line four-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and, together with the highly integrated e-drive unit, generates a maximum system output of 220 kW/299 hp. With a maximum system torque of 450 Nm (332 lb-ft), the new BMW 530e Sedan accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62 miles) in 6.3 seconds. The top speed is 230 km/h (143 mph), and up to 140 km/h (87 mph) in fully electric mode.

Increased range and high agility thanks to innovative BMW technologies.

A patented BMW innovation is used in the new plug-in hybrid models to increase the power development of the electric motor: The nominal torque of up to 280 Nm (207 lb-ft) is increased to a torque of up to 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) by a pre-transmission, which is effectively applied to the engine-side transmission input. In this way, the compact electric motor generates additional drive torque that would otherwise only be possible with a larger electric motor. The additional torque is clearly noticeable both when accelerating and during intermediate sprints.

The electric range is now 83 to 90 kilometres (49 - 56 miles) according to WLTP for the new BMW 550e xDrive Sedan and 93 to 103 kilometres (54 to 62 miles) according to WLTP for the new BMW 530e Sedan. Longer commutes are therefore also possible without producing any local emissions. Both plug-in hybrid models also owe their excellent electric range to their aerodynamic properties. As in all other variants of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan, special panelling and air deflection elements contribute to an optimised underbody structure that minimises air resistance. Special attention was also paid to aerodynamically optimising the underbody, in order to additionally reduce CO₂ emissions and increase the electric range by up to ten kilometres.

When driving, the latest version of adaptive recuperation helps to recover electrical energy during overrun and braking phases. Thanks to intelligent networking, the drive control system can use navigation data and information from sensors of the driver assistance systems to adjust how much power is recuperated according to the respective traffic situation.

The space-saving arrangement of the lithium-ion high-voltage battery in the vehicle underbody has a positive effect on both the vehicle's centre of gravity and the luggage compartment. With a total of 520 litres, the storage volume of the plug-in hybrid models is just as large as that of the purely combustion engine powered variants. The high-voltage battery provides an increased usable energy content of up to 19.4 kWh. The maximum charging power has been doubled compared to the previous models and is now 7.4 kW, so that the high-voltage battery can be charged from zero to 100 percent of its capacity within 3 hours and 15 minutes. At a conventional household socket, the charging process is completed within 11 hour and 45 minutes.

Extensive range of standard equipment and equipment highlights.

Both the new BMW 530e Sedan and the new BMW 550e xDrive Sedan feature an extended range of standard equipment compared to the models with 48-volt mild hybrid technology. In addition to 19-inch light alloy wheels, it also includes BMW IconicSounds Electric. In purely electric operating mode, this system provides a very special soundscape: Every movement of the accelerator pedal is accompanied by authentic acoustic feedback. The transparent and spherical sounds were developed in a cooperation between the BMW Group and the renowned film music composer Hans Zimmer.

The BMW 550e xDrive Sedan also comes as standard with Adaptive Chassis Professional, which includes electronically controlled shock absorbers and a lowered suspension as well as Integral Active Steering. It makes manoeuvring more comfortable, enhances agility at medium speeds and conveys confidence when changing lanes and cornering at higher speeds. 

The BMW Interaction Bar combines modern functionality and fascinating design as part of the ambient lighting equipment. The strikingly backlit functional unit with crystalline surface structure extends across the entire width of the instrument panel far into the door panels and includes touch-sensitive control panels for controlling ventilation and air conditioning and for activating the hazard warning lights.

Their six-cylinder and four-cylinder in-line petrol engines from the new modular generation of Efficient Dynamics units will each be combined with the latest BMW eDrive technology for plug-in hybrid systems. This will result in a notable increase in output and much sharper power delivery, while also significantly improving efficiency and electric range compared to the outgoing model generation.

The electric motor purpose-developed for the new plug-in hybrid system is integrated into the eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission together with its power electronics. The highly integrated drive unit contributes up to 145 kW/197 hp to the maximum combined output of 360 kW/489 hp in the case of the new BMW 550e xDrive Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 1.1 – 0.8 l/100 km [256.8 – 353.1 mpg imp]; electric power consumption combined: 22.5 – 20.1 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 24 – 19 g/km in WLTP cycle, provisional figures) and 220 kW/299 hp for the new BMW 530e Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 0.8 – 0.6 l/100 km [353.1 – 470.8 mpg imp]; electric power consumption combined: 21.4 – 18.9 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 19 – 14 g/km in WLTP cycle, provisional figures).

A BMW-patented innovation has been used to enhance the electric motor’s power delivery in the new plug-in hybrid models: a pre-gearing stage enables the nominal torque of 280 Nm (206 lb-ft) to be increased to effective torque of up to 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) at the transmission input for the motor. The compact electric motor is therefore able to boost torque by an amount that would normally only be possible using a larger unit and makes a clear difference both when accelerating off the line and putting in a rapid burst of speed. Electric range is now up to 79 – 90 kilometres (49 – 56 miles) in the WLTP cycle for the new BMW 550e xDrive Sedan and 87 – 101 kilometres (54 – 63 miles) in the WLTP cycle for the new BMW 530e Sedan.

The lithium-ion high-voltage battery’s space-saving positioning within the vehicle’s underbody has a beneficial effect on both the car’s centre of gravity and the capacity of its luggage compartment, which holds a total of 520 litres in the plug-in hybrid models – meaning it is just as large as that offered by their purely combustion-engined siblings. The usable energy provided by the high-voltage battery has climbed to 19.4 kWh. At the same time, maximum charging capacity has doubled compared to the outdoing models and now stands at 7.4 kW, enabling the high-voltage battery to be fully recharged from empty in 3.0 hours. When hooked up to a conventional domestic power socket, a full vehicle charge is completed in 9.8 hours.

World premiere: the BMW i7 Protection.

BMW is presenting a new generation of protection vehicles in the luxury sedan segment at the IAA Mobility 2023 show. The new BMW i7 Protection (electric power consumption combined in WLTP cycle: 30.0 kWh/100 km, provisional figure) is absolutely unique in this segment, as it is the world’s first ever certified protection sedan with an all-electric drive system. Driven by two powerful electric motors, it meets all the requirements of class VR9 protection without any limitations, as does the new V8-engined BMW 7 Series Protection (fuel consumption combined in WLTP cycle: 14.6 l/100 km [19.3 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions: 328 g/km, provisional figures).

Both models blend the integrated protection concept channelled into the development of the new BMW 7 Series range with outstanding levels of ride comfort and spaciousness, advanced equipment features and the unbeatable dynamic prowess for which BMW is renowned. The concept centres around the new and unique BMW Protection Core, which forms a self-supporting body structure made from armour steel. This is then combined with features such as additional armouring for the underbody and roof, plus armoured glass. The result is customised protection from attacks with firearms or explosives for at-risk individuals. The glass in the new protection vehicles even meets the requirements for the highest class of civilian protection, VPAM 10.

The all-electric BMW i7 Protection is equipped with one electric motor at the front axle and another at the rear. Together they generate a combined output of 400 kW/544 hp and maximum combined torque of 745 Nm (549 lb-ft), and create an electric all-wheel-drive system. The new BMW i7 Protection sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in 9.0 seconds, while top speed is electronically limited to 160 km/h (99 mph). The instantaneous, precisely orchestrated power delivery from the two motors guarantees exceptional traction and directional stability even when the car is being driven hard and performing challenging manoeuvres, such as when escaping from an attack.

Tuned and optimised specifically for this model, the chassis technology also makes allowance for the additional weight of its armouring, resulting in superbly assured performance in any situation. Another unique offering for this segment is the inclusion of Integral Active Steering as standard. This reduces the car’s turning circle, increases agility when cornering at speed and improves driving comfort for rear-seat passengers. The 20-inch light-alloy wheels are a further standout feature. The PAX tyres that also come as standard allow the car to continue its journey at up to 80 km/h (50 mph) even in the event of a total loss of pressure.

The latest generation of BMW iDrive based on BMW Operating System 8.5 is fitted, complete with the BMW Curved Display. The system is intuitive to use and operates in a way familiar to BMW drivers. The special functions relevant to occupant protection are also operated via BMW iDrive. The new protection vehicles can also be tailored precisely to any purpose, with items including a fresh-air supply system, a fire extinguishing system, flashing lights, radio transceivers and flag poles for when the car is on official duty, plus other special customer-specific options.

Trailblazing: the BMW iX5 Hydrogen.

The BMW iX5 Hydrogen presented at IAA Mobility 2023 provides further evidence of the company’s superlative innovative strength in the field of drive technology. A pilot series of the Sports Activity Vehicle with hydrogen fuel-cell drive, developed on the basis of the current BMW X5, has entered service for demonstration and test purposes with various target groups around the world. This allows selected test groups who haven’t been involved in the development process to get behind the wheel of the BMW iX5 Hydrogen and gain a direct impression of its attributes for the first time.

The BMW iX5 Hydrogen is equipped with the latest, fifth generation of BMW eDrive technology. The highly integrated drive unit at the rear axle draws its energy from a high-performance battery with li-ion technology that was specially developed for the hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle and generates maximum output of 295 kW/401 hp. The electric motor also doubles as a generator that feeds energy back into the high-performance battery on the overrun or under braking.

The model’s two 700-bar tanks made from carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) together hold six kilograms of gaseous hydrogen and can be refilled in three to four minutes. A chemical reaction takes place in the fuel cell system between the hydrogen and oxygen from the air, through which the electric power for the electric motor is generated. The BMW iX5 Hydrogen achieves a range of 504 kilometres (313 miles) in the WLTP cycle without having to refill the tanks. The hydrogen-powered SAV completes the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in under six seconds and goes on to reach a top speed in excess of 180 km/h (112 mph).

The BMW iX5 Hydrogen combines long-distance capabilities and short refuelling stops with zero tailpipe emissions and hallmark BMW driving dynamics. Its hydrogen fuel-cell technology has the potential – provided the necessary basic conditions are in place – to serve as an additional pillar in the BMW Group’s future powertrain portfolio. As part of its ongoing transformation, the BMW Group is following an approach that embraces all technologies when it comes to drive systems. The company is therefore readying itself for differing customer requirements, infrastructure standards and political and regulatory frameworks in the various regions of the world. This degree of flexibility puts the BMW Group in a position to react quickly to changing requirements in the markets in any situation and to present as many customers as possible with an appropriate model offering at all times.

Munich. Ever since the first model generation, the BMW 5 Series Sedan has been characterised by refined sportiness and high-level long-distance comfort. The new, eighth model generation of the world's most successful business sedan also highlights its dynamic performance character with its athletic proportions. The BMW M Performance Parts, which will be available in time for the market launch of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan and the all-electric BMW i5 in October 2023, specifically enhance its sporty appearance. The aerodynamic, interior and chassis parts range offers many options for high-performance customizing.

Perfectly coordinated: The M Performance Carbon parts.

The high-quality BMW M Performance aerodynamic and exterior components make the sporty, elegant business sedan look even more athletic. They have been specially developed for the new BMW 5 Series Sedan and the new BMW i5 with
M Sports Package or M Sports Package Pro and suit the geometry and design of the vehicle perfectly. Original BMW M Performance aerodynamic and exterior parts are always tested and approved according to the strict BMW Group quality guidelines. As they have already been homologated with the complete vehicle, it is not necessary to register them with the regulatory authorities.

All Carbon components are made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), sealed with clear lacquer to achieve a high-quality finish, and give the 5 Series models a sharp and sporty look from all angles. At the front and rear of the body, the four-part M Performance Carbon front attachment as well as the M Performance Carbon Pro rear spoiler and the three-part M Performance rear diffuser made of aramid fiber ensure a distinctive, racing-oriented look. A primed M Performance rear spoiler is also available as an option.

In addition to the M Performance Carbon side skirt attachments, which give the profile of the vehicle even more visual length and depth, the new M Performance accent stripes in Frozen Black emphasise the dynamically flowing lines of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan and the new BMW i5. The digitally printed accent stripes are in matt anthracite and feature the M Performance lettering.
The M Performance side skirt films, which consist of a striking curved line in matt grey, are also new to the range and highlight the vehicle’s profile even further. The films are located below the doors and provide an elegant touch of colour, especially on the black side skirts. The striking decorative stripe also harmonises perfectly with the M Performance accent stripe in Frozen Black and the
M Performance Carbon side skirt attachments.

The range of high-quality exterior parts is rounded off by the Carbon M exterior mirror caps and the M Performance Aramid antenna cover. The antenna cover made of aramid fiber-reinforced plastic is a visual and at the same time functional highlight on the vehicle roof. Aramid fiber has a similar surface appearance to carbon fiber but has a high electromagnetic permeability. The innovative material enables full functionality of the antenna in combination with a sporty look.

High-quality interior options add to the racing feel in the cockpit.

As soon as you open the doors, the M Performance Carbon door sill plates make a striking statement and show unmistakably that the new business sedan is oriented towards dynamic performance. In addition, the M Performance velours floor mats with their synthetic leather edging and decorative stitching in contrasting colours also add a sporty touch to the footwell. The two front mats of the four-piece set also feature embroidered M Performance lettering on the fabric insert and a flag in the hallmark M colours. The velours floor mats perfectly match the existing M Performance product range and round off the high-quality appearance.

The M Performance key case also makes a clear performance-oriented statement. The perfect-fit protective cover made of high-quality nappa leather is a pleasure to hold and features carbon fiber effect embossing combined with Alcantara. The function keys can be accessed freely so that the key does not have to be taken out of its case.

The M Performance Carbon fuel filler cap is also available for the combustion engine and plug-in hybrid variants of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan. It has double-sided adhesive tape on the inside and can be attached to the existing fuel filler cap by the customer.

Light alloy wheels and sport brake system for optimised performance.

The M Performance light alloy wheels available for the new BMW 5 Series Sedan and the all-electric BMW i5 are ideally suited to a sporty driving style and make for a highly distinctive look. The range for the new BMW 5 Series Sedan and the new BMW i5 includes 19 and 21-inch wheel sets. The summer wheel with tyre set with 21-inch M Performance Cross-spoke light alloy wheels is available for all drive types in either M Bicolor Jet Black gloss finish or M Frozen Midnight Grey.

For all model variants the 19-inch M Performance light alloy wheels in Y-Spoke design in matt black are also available as a summer wheel with tyre set. With the exception of the BMW i5 M60 xDrive, the corresponding winter wheel with tyre set, which is also suitable for snow chains (power consumption combined: 20.6 - 18.2 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 0 g/km according to WLTP) is available for all drive variants of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan. Additional wheel sets are stowed in style in the M Performance tyre bags. The four-piece set is suitable for wheels sized 17 to 22 inches and features M Performance lettering.

The M Performance 20-inch brake system delivers the deceleration power required for a sporty driving style. Its red-painted brake calipers featuring the four-colour M logo look particularly distinctive in conjunction with the open rim design of the 21-inch light alloy wheels. The sport brake system uses six-piston aluminium fixed-caliper brakes at the front and single-piston fist-caliper brakes at the rear. The large-format, internally ventilated and perforated M Performance lightweight brake discs provide improved thermal load-bearing capacity and thus deliver even higher breaking power under extreme conditions, for example on the race track.

Munich. With a ten-year plan for sustainability, the BMW Group is underscoring its commitment to the goals of the Paris climate agreement, the main focus being on the expansion of electric mobility. More than 500,000 electrified vehicles were sold by the end of 2019 and this figure will most likely rise to over 1 million by the end of 2021. The BMW 5 Series makes a substantial contribution towards achieving both past and future goals. With almost 50,000 units, BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid models were the most successful electrified models in the BMW Group’s portfolio worldwide in 2019.

Extension of the BMW 5 Series to include five plug-in hybrid models.
With an increase from two to five models featuring innovative plug-in hybrid drive by November 2020, the new BMW 5 Series offers the largest range of PHEVs within one BMW Group model series.

The latest generation of BMW eDrive technology in conjunction with a four-cylinder petrol engine powers the BMW 530e plug-in hybrid models. July 2020 saw the launch of the new BMW 530e Sedan (combined fuel consumption: 1.8 – 1.7 l/100 km; combined power consumption: 14.8 – 13.7 kWh/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 42 – 39 g/km)* and the new BMW 530e xDrive Sedan (combined fuel consumption: 2.1 – 2.0 l/100 km; combined power consumption: 16.4 – 15.9 kWh/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 49 – 46 g/km)*.

In November 2020, the new BMW 530e Touring (combined fuel consumption: 2.1 – 1.9 l/100 km; combined power consumption: 15.9 – 14.9 kWh/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 47 – 43 g/km)* and the new BMW 530e xDrive Touring (combined fuel consumption: 2.3 – 2.1 l/100 km; combined power consumption: 16.9 – 15.9 kWh/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 52 – 49 g/km)* will be launched.

Top of the range model: The new BMW 545e xDrive Sedan.
The new BMW 545e xDrive Sedan (combined fuel consumption: 2.4 – 2.1 l/100 km; combined power consumption: 16.3 – 15.3 kWh/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 54 – 49 g/km)* features a synchronous electric motor delivering a maximum power output of 80 kW/109 hp, which is combined with an efficient straight six-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and 210 kW/286 hp, together generating an overall system output of 290 kW/394 hp. Power is distributed as required to all four wheels via an 8-speed Steptronic transmission and intelligent BMW xDrive four-wheel drive. Maximum system torque is 600 Nm and top speed is reached at 250 km/h, whilst a speed of 140 km/h is possible in purely electric operation. From a standstill, the new BMW 545e xDrive accelerates to a speed of 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds*. Thus, the BMW 545e xDrive clearly excels as the most dynamic of all BMW six-cylinder plug-in hybrids.

Thanks to intelligently controlled interaction between both drive systems, the new BMW 545e xDrive combines the best of two worlds. It facilitates not only purely electric driving in urban traffic and efficient commuting between home and the workplace, but also excels through dynamic performance and comfortable long-distance travel. With a purely electric range of 54–57 kilometres* and an average fuel consumption of 2.4–2.1 litres/100 km*, the new BMW 545e xDrive combines brand-typical driving dynamics and a high level of long-distance ride comfort with extremely efficient use of resources.

The latest plug-in hybrid model of the BMW 5 Series is fitted with a 400V lithium-ion battery which is positioned under the rear seat in order to save space. With a luggage volume of 410 litres, the transport capacity of the BMW 545e xDrive is only slightly smaller than of those model variants which are fitted with a conventional engine.

Different driving modes for maximum efficiency in accordance with the relevant driving style and situation.
In order to make optimum use of the combination of the straight six-cylinder engine featuring ultra-smooth running characteristics and eDrive technology in all driving situations, the BMW 545e xDrive supports the driver in numerous ways in terms of energy management. Various driving modes, some of which can be individualised in their operation, are simply selected by pressing the corresponding button on the centre console.

The HYBRID mode is the default setting, which ensures a balanced set-up and an intelligent interaction between combustion engine and electric motor. It is also possible to select ELECTRIC mode as the standard setting via the iDrive menu. In HYBRID mode, the electric motor is predominantly used. The combustion engine only kicks in at higher speeds or under intensive load conditions. Since the system is linked to the navigation system, the interaction between combustion engine and electric motor can be adapted more precisely to the route profile, topography and other driving situations in an anticipatory manner. The electric range is increased by recuperation in overrun and braking phases. The energy supply saved in this way can then be used specifically for locally emission-free driving through urban areas and the arrival at the defined destination.

By pressing the HYBRID button twice, an efficiency-optimised version of this operating mode (HYBRID ECO PRO) is activated.
The coasting function on the overrun, among other things, contributes to a further reduction in consumption. The navigation and sensor data-supported control system also optimises the effectiveness of braking energy recovery. When approaching a junction or a vehicle driving ahead, for example, infinitely adaptive recuperation can be put to particularly intensive use for the purpose of deceleration.

In SPORT mode, the electric motor supports the straight six-cylinder petrol engine when the overall system output of 290 kW/394 hp is fully needed. The set-up is designed for dynamic performance, and the gearshift program is sporty.

The ELECTRIC mode, on the other hand, enables locally purely emission-free driving up to 57 kilometres* and up to 140 km/h.

  Special sounds for a special driving experience.
The new “ready to drive sound” produced by the BMW 545e xDrive is the result of the collaboration with composer Hans Zimmer and is designed to trigger joyful anticipation of the electric drive when the driver enters the vehicle and presses the Start/Stop button.

A distinctive sound created especially for electrified BMW models is used for the purpose of acoustic pedestrian protection, emitted via a speaker system. The sound design in the low speed range of up to 30 km/h radiates a vibrant acoustic presence, though without impairing the acoustic comfort of vehicle occupants.

Likewise, via the vehicle audio system, “Active Sound Design” provides for an authentic and, in the SPORT mode of the Driving Experience Control Switch, for a particularly intense and pronounced sound.

Electric mobility meets digitalisation: Digital services for the plug-in hybrid models of the BMW 5 Series.
The BMW Group also offers innovative digital services that actively contribute towards increasing the attractiveness of electric driving even further.  

The BMW eDrive Zone service facilitates the automatic switching over of the drive system to purely electric mode when entering an urban low-emission zone and similar inner-city areas. In addition, local emission-free driving with a BMW plug-in hybrid model is rewarded through the globally unique loyalty programme BMW Points.

Apart from filling stations, the navigation system also displays public charging points. When selecting a charging station, the driver is also provided with a forecast on its occupation status as well as recommendations for nearby restaurants or cafés. Moreover, BMW enables BMW Charging customers to reserve an enabled charging station for a limited period of time.

Furthermore, other products from BMW Charging also offer the possibility of comfortable charging at home and when out and about. These also comprise various versions of the Wallbox, including installation service, individual offers for the purchase of electricity and access to the world’s largest network of public charging stations comprising more than 155,000 charging points in Europe alone.  

Preconditioning of the interior by means of auxiliary heating and air conditioning ensures optimised comfort during any season. If the preconditioning system is activated during the charging process after defining a specific departure time, the system also guarantees the full electric range in drive mode. The system is controlled either from inside the vehicle or conveniently via the My BMW app.

München. Le nekaj tednov po tem, ko je prišel na trg BMW serije 5 zadnje generacija, se bo seriji najuspešnejše poslovne limuzine na svetu pridružila še različica priključnega hibrida. BMW 530e iPerformance je športna limuzina, ki nudi dinamično vozno doživetje, značilno za blagovno znamko, skupaj z možnostjo električne vožnje brez lokalnih emisij. Njegova povprečna poraba goriva 1,9 l/100 km in ustreza emisijam CO2 le 44 g/km*. BMW 530e iPerformance je najinovativnejši model v svojem razredu in nudi širok spekter asistenčnih sistemov za voznika BMW serije 5 – v vseh načinih vožnje, tudi v eDrive. Te sisteme nadgrajujejo vse razpoložljive funkcije za povečanje udobja in odlične reference vožnje na dolge razdalje, vključno s prtljažnikom, ki lahko sprejme veliko prtljage. Kar se tiče njegovega vira moči, se pionirska tehnologija BMW eDrive združi z bencinskim motorjem BMW TwinPower Turbo, da nastane izredno ekonomičen in močan sistem priključnega hibridnega pogona, ki se odlično ujema z dinamičnim, uglajenim in učinkovitim značajem novega vozila BMW serije 5.

Certifikat ISO potrjuje zgleden vpliv na okolje.
Označba iPerformance, ki je označuje vse priključno-hibridne modele BMW, priča o prenosu strokovnega znanja od BMW i na avtomobile glavne blagovne znamke. BMW 530e iPerformance je šesti član rastočega portfelja modelov iPerformance, ki so se izkazali za prave uspešnice. Tehnična nadzorna služba TÜV je s podelitvijo certifikata ISO potrdila njegov zgleden vpliv na okolje. Pri ugotavljanju njegovega vpliva na okolje, to je “njegov potencial globalnega segrevanja”, je bil upoštevan celoten življenjski cikel vozila, od pridobivanja surovin in proizvodnega procesa do faze uporabe in recikliranja – v enakovredni obliki CO2, to je CO2e. Ta neodvisna certifikacija v skladu s standardoma ISO 14040 in ISO 14044 dokazuje, da je potencial globalnega segrevanja BMW 530e iPerformance 15 odstotkov nižji kot pri BMW 530i, saj ga poganja izključno motor z notranjim zgorevanjem. Če se za napajanje visokonapetostne baterije uporablja le obnovljivo proizvedena energija, se vpliv na okolje priključnega hibridnega modela zniža celo za 47 odstotkov.

Razvoj moči na ravni visokozmogljivega motorja z notranjim zgorevanjem.

Najsodobnejši elektromotor sistema BMW eDrive ima največjo moč 83 kW/113 KM in razvije največji navor 250 Nm, medtem ko 2,0-litrski štirivaljni motor z notranjim zgorevanjem proizvede 135 kW/184 KM moči in 320 Nm navora. Kombinacija motorja in elektromotorja zadrži emisije CO2 modela BMW 530e iPerformance na le 44 g/km. Skupna sistemska moč 185 kW/252 KM in kombiniran največji navor 420 Nm pospešita BMW 530e iPerformance od 0 do 100 km/h v 6,2 sekunde in mu omogočata, da doseže največjo hitrost 235 km/h. BMW 530e iPerformance ima v praksi doseg do 650 kilometrov, medtem ko lahko izključno na elektriko prevozi razdalje do 50 kilometrov pri največji hitrosti 140 km/h. Elektromotor in motor z notranjim zgorevanjem usmerita moč na zadnji kolesi limuzine prek standardnega 8-stopenjskega menjalnika Steptronic. Ker je elektromotor nameščen pred menjalnikom, se lahko njegova prestavna razmerja uporabljajo tudi v povsem električnem režimu vožnje. S tem se odpravlja potreba za pretvornikom vrtilnega momenta, kar hkrati pomeni kompenziranje preobilne mase dodatne pogonske enote.

Edinstveni inovaciji za polnjenje visokonapetostne baterije: BMW Digital  Charging Service in BMW Wireless Charging.

Visokonapetostna baterija, ki vključuje litij-ionske celice s kapaciteto 9,2 kWh, je nameščena na mestu z varčno izrabo prostora pod zadnjim sedežem in obsega učinkovito hlajenje hladila z visoko integriranim nizkotemperaturnim obtokom. Zahvaljujoč dobro premišljeni namestitvi nudi BMW 530e iPerformance 410 litrov prtljažne prostornine in ravno dno v prtljažniku. Visokonapetostna baterija vozila BMW 530e iPerformance se lahko v celoti napolni v manj kot petih urah prek standardne gospodinjske vtičnice in v manj kot treh urah s pomočjo polnilne postaje BMW i Wallbox (polnilna moč 3,7 kW).

S svojo inovacijo BMW Digital Charging Service je BMW prvi avtomobilski proizvajalec na svetu, ki nudi proaktivno, udobno in stroškovno učinkovito polnjenje, izpopolnjeno za uporabo zelene energije. Postopek polnjenja se upravlja ob vsaki priložnosti, tako da ima vozilo ob določenem času odhoda vedno na voljo polno kapaciteto baterije – po želji pa se lahko predhodno nastavi tudi temperatura v notranjosti.

BMW Digital Charging Service temelji na dveh glavnih funkcijah: optimizacija polnjenja baterije v smislu cene elektrike in uporabe sončne energije. Z optimalnim polnjenjem po ugodni tarifi, storitev prilagodi načrt polnjenja vozila po tarifi električne energije uporabnika, tako da se postopek izvaja s čim nižjimi stroški elektrike. Če ima stranka doma polnilno postajo BMW Wallbox Connect, se lahko proizvedena sončna energija prek domačega solarnega sistema prednostno uporablja za polnjenje vozila. Izhodni podatki sistema in zadnja vremenska napoved se uporabijo, da se predvidi razpoložljiva količina lokalno proizvedene sončne energije. Ob namestitvi potrebne merilne opreme imajo uporabniki tudi informacijo, kolikšen delež sončne energije ni bil uporabljen za gospodinjske odjemalce v času proizvodnje in se lahko zato preusmeri za zagotavljanje mobilnosti, ki je skoraj brez emisij. S tem se lahko vozila s popolnoma ali delno električnimi pogonskimi enotami čim učinkoviteje vključijo v domače okolje in individualno električno omrežje stranke.

Storitev BMW Wireless Charging za visokonapetostno baterijo bo za BMW 530e iPerformance na voljo v ponudbi dodatne opreme od leta 2018. Ta tehnologija omogoča prenos energije brez uporabe kabelske napeljave. V obliki prototipa, ki ga je predstavil BMW, je sistem sestavljen iz osnovne plošče z integrirano glavno tuljavo, ki se lahko namesti npr. v garaži, pa tudi na odprtem prostoru, ter sekundarne tuljave, vgrajene na spodnji strani vozila. Med tuljavama se ustvari izmenično magnetno polje, s pomočjo katerega se prenaša elektrika brez kabla ali stika z močjo do 3,2 kW. Ta oblika oskrbe visokonapetostne baterije z električnim tokom je zelo udobna za stranke, medtem ko se lahko prazna baterija napolni v pribl. treh urah in pol.

Diskretno vizualno razlikovanje zunaj in znotraj.
Vrsta nevsiljivih vizualnih poudarkov razkriva znake visokotehnološke pogonske tehnologije pod sprednjim pokrovom novega BMW 530e iPerformance. Modre prečke ledvičke, modri pokrovi kolesnih pest, polnilna vtičnica med sprednjim kolotekom in A-stebričkom na voznikovi strani, emblema “eDrive” na C-stebričkih in, seveda, označba “530e” na pokrovu prtljažnika so najbolj opazne prepoznavne značilnosti priključne hibridne različice. Ko potniki odprejo vrata, jih pozdravijo osvetljene vstopne letve z napisom “eDrive” in notranjost, ki odraža športno eleganco oblikovanja zunanjosti, enako kot pri vseh preostalih različicah poslovne limuzine. Vozilo BMW 530e iPerformance je dodatno na voljo z gumbom eDrive na sredinski konzoli, skupaj s posebej oblikovanimi prikazi za kombinirani instrument pred voznikom in na osrednjem informacijskem prikazovalniku.

BMW eDrive se prilagodi in predvideva.

Poleg stikala za uravnavanje vozne dinamike, ki vključuje nastavitve SPORT, COMFORT in ECO PRO, imajo vozniki na voljo tudi gumb eDrive, s pomočjo katerega lahko še bolj natančno prilagodijo delovanje sistema BMW eDrive potovanju – prek treh načinov vožnje: AUTO eDRIVE, MAX eDRIVE in BATTERY CONTROL.

AUTO eDRIVE zagotavlja, da bencinski motor in elektromotor delujeta med seboj z optimalnim učinkom v vseh voznih razmerah in omogoča največjo hitrost 90 km/h v povsem električnem režimu vožnje. Ta način se samodejno aktivira kot privzeta nastavitev pri vsakem zagonu vozila. Če je izbran način MAX eDRIVE, obratuje BMW 530e iPerformance izključno na električno energijo. Pri tem uporablja polno moč električnega pogona in lahko doseže največjo hitrost 140 km/h. Vendar se v primeru, če je pedal za plin pritisnjen do dna (položaj kickdown) vklopi tudi bencinski motor, kar je zelo priročno, če obstaja želja po dodatni potisni sili, npr. pri prehitevanju.

Način BATTERY CONTROL omogoča voznikom, da ročno nastavijo stopnjo napolnjenosti za visokonapetostno baterijo. Ciljna vrednost se lahko prilagodi vrednosti med 30 in 100 odstotki največje napolnjenosti, s čimer se ta delež kapacitete baterije rezervira za povsem električno vožnjo v nadaljevanju potovanja. Inteligentno upravljanje baterije v BMW 530e iPerformance bodisi vzdržuje napolnjenost visokonapetostne baterije na izbrani stopnji ali pa jo poveča na predhodno izbrano vrednost, pri čemer deluje elektromotor kot generator. S tem lahko način BATTERY CONTROL vzdržuje ali celo poveča rezerve električne energije, npr. med vožnjo na avtocesti, da zagotovi, da se bo prihajajoči odsek skozi urbano območje lahko prevozil brez lokalnih emisij.

iDrive najnovejše generacije za še bolj intuitivno upravljanje.

Tako kot pri vseh ostalih modelih nove BMW serije 5, se navigacija, telefonija, razvedrilo in funkcije vozila, združene znotraj dodatnega visokoločljivega 10,25-palčnega prikazovalnika, lahko upravljajo ne le prek upravljalnika iDrive, ampak tudi z enostavnim pritiskom gumbov na zaslonu. Upravljanje s kretnjami BMW, ki se odziva na enostavna premikanja roke ali prstov, nudi uporabnikom nadaljnjo možnost upravljanja omenjenih funkcij.

Na voljo so vsi asistenčni sistemi za voznika in možnosti opreme.         

Novi BMW 530e iPerformance ne postavlja nikakršnih omejitev izbire možnosti opreme, kar pomeni, da lahko podpira voznika z obsežno ponudbo asistenčnih sistemov, ki se lahko uporabljajo tudi v načinu eDrive. Sistemi obsegajo pomoč pri izogibanju, opozorilo pred prečnim prometom, asistenta pri menjavi voznega pasu (storitev in aktivno opozorilo pri menjavi voznega pasu, ki posega v krmilni mehanizem vozila, da prepreči neizogibno trčenje)**. Dodatni možnosti opreme, to sta aktivni asistent za uravnavanje hitrosti (ACC) in asistent pri ohranjanju voznega pasu, sta odslej na voljo z novimi funkcijami. Te vključujejo uvoz omejitev hitrosti, ki jih asistent za omejitev hitrosti posreduje aktivnemu asistentu za uravnavanje hitrosti, medtem ko ima voznik prav tako možnost, da nastavi stopnjo odstopanja v višini +/– 15 km/h. Ta novost pripelje BMW 530e iPerformance korak bližje avtomatizirani vožnji, enako kot asistent pri krmiljenju in ohranjanju vozila na voznem pasu – z njegovo pomočjo vozilo pomaga vozniku vzdrževati varno razdaljo, pospeševati, zavirati in ostati na svojem voznem pasu pri potovalnih hitrostih med 0 in 210 km/h.

BMW Connected Onboard: prilagojen začetni zaslon.

Z uvedbo BMW Connected v ZDA in Evropi tekom leta 2016, je BMW predstavil vseobsegajoč digitalni koncept, ki je namenjen podpori osebne mobilnosti. Z uporabo fleksibilne platforme imenovane Open Mobility Cloud kot osnove, BMW Connected brezhibno vključi vozilo v digitalno življenje uporabnika prek različnih stičnih točk, kot je iPhone, Apple Watch, pametni telefon (Android) ali pametna ura (Android). Preostale novosti so predstavljene v novem vozilu BMW serije 5 Limuzina. Mednje sodi npr. BMW Connected Onboard**, ki omogoča, da se prilagojene informacije, kot so naslednji navigacijski cilj, predviden čas prihoda in trenutne vremenske razmere na cilju, prikažejo na nadzornem prikazovalniku vozila. Poleg tega lahko BMW Connected prenaša dnevni red osebne mobilnosti uporabnika iz njegovega pametnega telefona naravnost v njegovo vozilo.

Surround View in 3D View nudita duševni mir vsem tistim, ki se pogosto znajdejo v nerodnih prometnih situacijah v mestnih središčih, s tem da jim kadar koli omogočata pregled nad neposredno okolico njihovih vozil BMW serije 5. Sistem prikaže pogled voznikovega vozila iz ptičje perspektive in tridimenzionalno sliko prometnih razmer. S tehnologijo Remote 3D View**, ki je vključena v BMW Connected, se lahko sedaj dostopa do tridimenzionalnih pogledov neposredne okolice vozila tudi prek pametnih telefonov, kar omogoča lastnikom hitro preverjanje stanja parkiranega vozila ne glede na oddaljenost. Slikovni podatki se na mobilno napravo prenesejo prek omrežja mobilne telefonije.

Enostavno parkiranje: ParkNow in On-Street Parking Information**.

Vozniki novega BMW 530e iPerformance bodo imeli dostop do storitev, kot sta ParkNow za digitalno rezervacijo parkirišča in plačevanje parkirnine ter On-Street Parking Information, ki se premierno predstavlja v novem vozilu BMW serije 5. Sistem uporablja model lokalne napovedi, da preračuna verjetne možnosti za parkiranje v določenem delu mesta in jih prikaže vozniku na prikazovalniku.

Dostop do elektronske pošte z Microsoft Exchange.

BMW je danes prvi avtomobilski proizvajalec, ki nudi uporabnikom računa Microsoft Office 365 varno strežniško povezavo za izmenjavo in urejanje elektronske pošte, koledarskih vnosov in kontaktnih podatkov - zahvaljujoč funkciji Microsoft Exchange, vgrajeni v vozilu. Brezhibna integracija omogoča uporabnikom, da ostanejo produktivni tudi med vožnjo. Naslovni podatki sestankov se lahko uvozijo naravnost v navigacijski sistem, medtem ko se lahko telefonske številke pokličejo neposredno prek povezanega telefona.

Šesti model z oznako iPerformance.

Podobno kot predstavlja M Performance vez med glavno blagovno znamko BMW in njeno podznamko BMW M, BMW poudarja prenos strokovnega znanja od BMW i na vozila glavne blagovne znamke, s tem da doda oznako iPerformance k označbam vseh priključnih hibridnih vozil BMW. Seznam inovativnih modelov, na katerem se bo po novem znašel tudi BMW 530e iPerformance vključuje še BMW 225xe iPerformance, BMW 330e iPerformance, BMW X5 xDrive40e iPerformance in BMW 740e/740Le iPerformance. iPerformance seznam vključuje tudi vozilo BMW X1 xDrive 25Le iPerformance, ki pa se prodaja samo na kitajskem trgu. Široka izbira BMW iPerformance modelov sega od kompaktnega do luksuznega razreda. Novi BMW 530e iPerformance prinaša šesti model v portfelj izdelkov, medtem ko bodo kmalu sledile nove dopolnitve.

München. Le nekaj tednov po tem, ko je prišel na trg BMW serije 5 zadnje generacija, se bo seriji najuspešnejše poslovne limuzine na svetu pridružila še različica priključnega hibrida. BMW 530e iPerformance je športna limuzina, ki nudi dinamično vozno doživetje, značilno za blagovno znamko, skupaj z možnostjo električne vožnje brez lokalnih emisij. Njegova povprečna poraba goriva 1,9 l/100 km in ustreza emisijam CO2 le 44 g/km*. BMW 530e iPerformance je najinovativnejši model v svojem razredu in nudi širok spekter asistenčnih sistemov za voznika BMW serije 5 – v vseh načinih vožnje, tudi v eDrive. Te sisteme nadgrajujejo vse razpoložljive funkcije za povečanje udobja in odlične reference vožnje na dolge razdalje, vključno s prtljažnikom, ki lahko sprejme veliko prtljage. Kar se tiče njegovega vira moči, se pionirska tehnologija BMW eDrive združi z bencinskim motorjem BMW TwinPower Turbo, da nastane izredno ekonomičen in močan sistem priključnega hibridnega pogona, ki se odlično ujema z dinamičnim, uglajenim in učinkovitim značajem novega vozila BMW serije 5.

Certifikat ISO potrjuje zgleden vpliv na okolje.
Označba iPerformance, ki je označuje vse priključno-hibridne modele BMW, priča o prenosu strokovnega znanja od BMW i na avtomobile glavne blagovne znamke. BMW 530e iPerformance je šesti član rastočega portfelja modelov iPerformance, ki so se izkazali za prave uspešnice. Tehnična nadzorna služba TÜV je s podelitvijo certifikata ISO potrdila njegov zgleden vpliv na okolje. Pri ugotavljanju njegovega vpliva na okolje, to je “njegov potencial globalnega segrevanja”, je bil upoštevan celoten življenjski cikel vozila, od pridobivanja surovin in proizvodnega procesa do faze uporabe in recikliranja – v enakovredni obliki CO2, to je CO2e. Ta neodvisna certifikacija v skladu s standardoma ISO 14040 in ISO 14044 dokazuje, da je potencial globalnega segrevanja BMW 530e iPerformance 15 odstotkov nižji kot pri BMW 530i, saj ga poganja izključno motor z notranjim zgorevanjem. Če se za napajanje visokonapetostne baterije uporablja le obnovljivo proizvedena energija, se vpliv na okolje priključnega hibridnega modela zniža celo za 47 odstotkov.

Razvoj moči na ravni visokozmogljivega motorja z notranjim zgorevanjem.

Najsodobnejši elektromotor sistema BMW eDrive ima največjo moč 83 kW/113 KM in razvije največji navor 250 Nm, medtem ko 2,0-litrski štirivaljni motor z notranjim zgorevanjem proizvede 135 kW/184 KM moči in 320 Nm navora. Kombinacija motorja in elektromotorja zadrži emisije CO2 modela BMW 530e iPerformance na le 44 g/km. Skupna sistemska moč 185 kW/252 KM in kombiniran največji navor 420 Nm pospešita BMW 530e iPerformance od 0 do 100 km/h v 6,2 sekunde in mu omogočata, da doseže največjo hitrost 235 km/h. BMW 530e iPerformance ima v praksi doseg do 650 kilometrov, medtem ko lahko izključno na elektriko prevozi razdalje do 50 kilometrov pri največji hitrosti 140 km/h. Elektromotor in motor z notranjim zgorevanjem usmerita moč na zadnji kolesi limuzine prek standardnega 8-stopenjskega menjalnika Steptronic. Ker je elektromotor nameščen pred menjalnikom, se lahko njegova prestavna razmerja uporabljajo tudi v povsem električnem režimu vožnje. S tem se odpravlja potreba za pretvornikom vrtilnega momenta, kar hkrati pomeni kompenziranje preobilne mase dodatne pogonske enote.

Edinstveni inovaciji za polnjenje visokonapetostne baterije: BMW Digital  Charging Service in BMW Wireless Charging.

Visokonapetostna baterija, ki vključuje litij-ionske celice s kapaciteto 9,2 kWh, je nameščena na mestu z varčno izrabo prostora pod zadnjim sedežem in obsega učinkovito hlajenje hladila z visoko integriranim nizkotemperaturnim obtokom. Zahvaljujoč dobro premišljeni namestitvi nudi BMW 530e iPerformance 410 litrov prtljažne prostornine in ravno dno v prtljažniku. Visokonapetostna baterija vozila BMW 530e iPerformance se lahko v celoti napolni v manj kot petih urah prek standardne gospodinjske vtičnice in v manj kot treh urah s pomočjo polnilne postaje BMW i Wallbox (polnilna moč 3,7 kW).

S svojo inovacijo BMW Digital Charging Service je BMW prvi avtomobilski proizvajalec na svetu, ki nudi proaktivno, udobno in stroškovno učinkovito polnjenje, izpopolnjeno za uporabo zelene energije. Postopek polnjenja se upravlja ob vsaki priložnosti, tako da ima vozilo ob določenem času odhoda vedno na voljo polno kapaciteto baterije – po želji pa se lahko predhodno nastavi tudi temperatura v notranjosti.

BMW Digital Charging Service temelji na dveh glavnih funkcijah: optimizacija polnjenja baterije v smislu cene elektrike in uporabe sončne energije. Z optimalnim polnjenjem po ugodni tarifi, storitev prilagodi načrt polnjenja vozila po tarifi električne energije uporabnika, tako da se postopek izvaja s čim nižjimi stroški elektrike. Če ima stranka doma polnilno postajo BMW Wallbox Connect, se lahko proizvedena sončna energija prek domačega solarnega sistema prednostno uporablja za polnjenje vozila. Izhodni podatki sistema in zadnja vremenska napoved se uporabijo, da se predvidi razpoložljiva količina lokalno proizvedene sončne energije. Ob namestitvi potrebne merilne opreme imajo uporabniki tudi informacijo, kolikšen delež sončne energije ni bil uporabljen za gospodinjske odjemalce v času proizvodnje in se lahko zato preusmeri za zagotavljanje mobilnosti, ki je skoraj brez emisij. S tem se lahko vozila s popolnoma ali delno električnimi pogonskimi enotami čim učinkoviteje vključijo v domače okolje in individualno električno omrežje stranke.

Storitev BMW Wireless Charging za visokonapetostno baterijo bo za BMW 530e iPerformance na voljo v ponudbi dodatne opreme od leta 2018. Ta tehnologija omogoča prenos energije brez uporabe kabelske napeljave. V obliki prototipa, ki ga je predstavil BMW, je sistem sestavljen iz osnovne plošče z integrirano glavno tuljavo, ki se lahko namesti npr. v garaži, pa tudi na odprtem prostoru, ter sekundarne tuljave, vgrajene na spodnji strani vozila. Med tuljavama se ustvari izmenično magnetno polje, s pomočjo katerega se prenaša elektrika brez kabla ali stika z močjo do 3,2 kW. Ta oblika oskrbe visokonapetostne baterije z električnim tokom je zelo udobna za stranke, medtem ko se lahko prazna baterija napolni v pribl. treh urah in pol.

Diskretno vizualno razlikovanje zunaj in znotraj.
Vrsta nevsiljivih vizualnih poudarkov razkriva znake visokotehnološke pogonske tehnologije pod sprednjim pokrovom novega BMW 530e iPerformance. Modre prečke ledvičke, modri pokrovi kolesnih pest, polnilna vtičnica med sprednjim kolotekom in A-stebričkom na voznikovi strani, emblema “eDrive” na C-stebričkih in, seveda, označba “530e” na pokrovu prtljažnika so najbolj opazne prepoznavne značilnosti priključne hibridne različice. Ko potniki odprejo vrata, jih pozdravijo osvetljene vstopne letve z napisom “eDrive” in notranjost, ki odraža športno eleganco oblikovanja zunanjosti, enako kot pri vseh preostalih različicah poslovne limuzine. Vozilo BMW 530e iPerformance je dodatno na voljo z gumbom eDrive na sredinski konzoli, skupaj s posebej oblikovanimi prikazi za kombinirani instrument pred voznikom in na osrednjem informacijskem prikazovalniku.

BMW eDrive se prilagodi in predvideva.

Poleg stikala za uravnavanje vozne dinamike, ki vključuje nastavitve SPORT, COMFORT in ECO PRO, imajo vozniki na voljo tudi gumb eDrive, s pomočjo katerega lahko še bolj natančno prilagodijo delovanje sistema BMW eDrive potovanju – prek treh načinov vožnje: AUTO eDRIVE, MAX eDRIVE in BATTERY CONTROL.

AUTO eDRIVE zagotavlja, da bencinski motor in elektromotor delujeta med seboj z optimalnim učinkom v vseh voznih razmerah in omogoča največjo hitrost 90 km/h v povsem električnem režimu vožnje. Ta način se samodejno aktivira kot privzeta nastavitev pri vsakem zagonu vozila. Če je izbran način MAX eDRIVE, obratuje BMW 530e iPerformance izključno na električno energijo. Pri tem uporablja polno moč električnega pogona in lahko doseže največjo hitrost 140 km/h. Vendar se v primeru, če je pedal za plin pritisnjen do dna (položaj kickdown) vklopi tudi bencinski motor, kar je zelo priročno, če obstaja želja po dodatni potisni sili, npr. pri prehitevanju.

Način BATTERY CONTROL omogoča voznikom, da ročno nastavijo stopnjo napolnjenosti za visokonapetostno baterijo. Ciljna vrednost se lahko prilagodi vrednosti med 30 in 100 odstotki največje napolnjenosti, s čimer se ta delež kapacitete baterije rezervira za povsem električno vožnjo v nadaljevanju potovanja. Inteligentno upravljanje baterije v BMW 530e iPerformance bodisi vzdržuje napolnjenost visokonapetostne baterije na izbrani stopnji ali pa jo poveča na predhodno izbrano vrednost, pri čemer deluje elektromotor kot generator. S tem lahko način BATTERY CONTROL vzdržuje ali celo poveča rezerve električne energije, npr. med vožnjo na avtocesti, da zagotovi, da se bo prihajajoči odsek skozi urbano območje lahko prevozil brez lokalnih emisij.

iDrive najnovejše generacije za še bolj intuitivno upravljanje.

Tako kot pri vseh ostalih modelih nove BMW serije 5, se navigacija, telefonija, razvedrilo in funkcije vozila, združene znotraj dodatnega visokoločljivega 10,25-palčnega prikazovalnika, lahko upravljajo ne le prek upravljalnika iDrive, ampak tudi z enostavnim pritiskom gumbov na zaslonu. Upravljanje s kretnjami BMW, ki se odziva na enostavna premikanja roke ali prstov, nudi uporabnikom nadaljnjo možnost upravljanja omenjenih funkcij.

Na voljo so vsi asistenčni sistemi za voznika in možnosti opreme.         

Novi BMW 530e iPerformance ne postavlja nikakršnih omejitev izbire možnosti opreme, kar pomeni, da lahko podpira voznika z obsežno ponudbo asistenčnih sistemov, ki se lahko uporabljajo tudi v načinu eDrive. Sistemi obsegajo pomoč pri izogibanju, opozorilo pred prečnim prometom, asistenta pri menjavi voznega pasu (storitev in aktivno opozorilo pri menjavi voznega pasu, ki posega v krmilni mehanizem vozila, da prepreči neizogibno trčenje)**. Dodatni možnosti opreme, to sta aktivni asistent za uravnavanje hitrosti (ACC) in asistent pri ohranjanju voznega pasu, sta odslej na voljo z novimi funkcijami. Te vključujejo uvoz omejitev hitrosti, ki jih asistent za omejitev hitrosti posreduje aktivnemu asistentu za uravnavanje hitrosti, medtem ko ima voznik prav tako možnost, da nastavi stopnjo odstopanja v višini +/– 15 km/h. Ta novost pripelje BMW 530e iPerformance korak bližje avtomatizirani vožnji, enako kot asistent pri krmiljenju in ohranjanju vozila na voznem pasu – z njegovo pomočjo vozilo pomaga vozniku vzdrževati varno razdaljo, pospeševati, zavirati in ostati na svojem voznem pasu pri potovalnih hitrostih med 0 in 210 km/h.

BMW Connected Onboard: prilagojen začetni zaslon.

Z uvedbo BMW Connected v ZDA in Evropi tekom leta 2016, je BMW predstavil vseobsegajoč digitalni koncept, ki je namenjen podpori osebne mobilnosti. Z uporabo fleksibilne platforme imenovane Open Mobility Cloud kot osnove, BMW Connected brezhibno vključi vozilo v digitalno življenje uporabnika prek različnih stičnih točk, kot je iPhone, Apple Watch, pametni telefon (Android) ali pametna ura (Android). Preostale novosti so predstavljene v novem vozilu BMW serije 5 Limuzina. Mednje sodi npr. BMW Connected Onboard**, ki omogoča, da se prilagojene informacije, kot so naslednji navigacijski cilj, predviden čas prihoda in trenutne vremenske razmere na cilju, prikažejo na nadzornem prikazovalniku vozila. Poleg tega lahko BMW Connected prenaša dnevni red osebne mobilnosti uporabnika iz njegovega pametnega telefona naravnost v njegovo vozilo.

Surround View in 3D View nudita duševni mir vsem tistim, ki se pogosto znajdejo v nerodnih prometnih situacijah v mestnih središčih, s tem da jim kadar koli omogočata pregled nad neposredno okolico njihovih vozil BMW serije 5. Sistem prikaže pogled voznikovega vozila iz ptičje perspektive in tridimenzionalno sliko prometnih razmer. S tehnologijo Remote 3D View**, ki je vključena v BMW Connected, se lahko sedaj dostopa do tridimenzionalnih pogledov neposredne okolice vozila tudi prek pametnih telefonov, kar omogoča lastnikom hitro preverjanje stanja parkiranega vozila ne glede na oddaljenost. Slikovni podatki se na mobilno napravo prenesejo prek omrežja mobilne telefonije.

Enostavno parkiranje: ParkNow in On-Street Parking Information**.

Vozniki novega BMW 530e iPerformance bodo imeli dostop do storitev, kot sta ParkNow za digitalno rezervacijo parkirišča in plačevanje parkirnine ter On-Street Parking Information, ki se premierno predstavlja v novem vozilu BMW serije 5. Sistem uporablja model lokalne napovedi, da preračuna verjetne možnosti za parkiranje v določenem delu mesta in jih prikaže vozniku na prikazovalniku.

Dostop do elektronske pošte z Microsoft Exchange.

BMW je danes prvi avtomobilski proizvajalec, ki nudi uporabnikom računa Microsoft Office 365 varno strežniško povezavo za izmenjavo in urejanje elektronske pošte, koledarskih vnosov in kontaktnih podatkov - zahvaljujoč funkciji Microsoft Exchange, vgrajeni v vozilu. Brezhibna integracija omogoča uporabnikom, da ostanejo produktivni tudi med vožnjo. Naslovni podatki sestankov se lahko uvozijo naravnost v navigacijski sistem, medtem ko se lahko telefonske številke pokličejo neposredno prek povezanega telefona.

Šesti model z oznako iPerformance.

Podobno kot predstavlja M Performance vez med glavno blagovno znamko BMW in njeno podznamko BMW M, BMW poudarja prenos strokovnega znanja od BMW i na vozila glavne blagovne znamke, s tem da doda oznako iPerformance k označbam vseh priključnih hibridnih vozil BMW. Seznam inovativnih modelov, na katerem se bo po novem znašel tudi BMW 530e iPerformance vključuje še BMW 225xe iPerformance, BMW 330e iPerformance, BMW X5 xDrive40e iPerformance in BMW 740e/740Le iPerformance. iPerformance seznam vključuje tudi vozilo BMW X1 xDrive 25Le iPerformance, ki pa se prodaja samo na kitajskem trgu. Široka izbira BMW iPerformance modelov sega od kompaktnega do luksuznega razreda. Novi BMW 530e iPerformance prinaša šesti model v portfelj izdelkov, medtem ko bodo kmalu sledile nove dopolnitve.

Munich. To coincide with the premiere of the new BMW 5 Series range, BMW M GmbH is bringing out a sporty BMW M Performance version of the world’s most successful business sedan. For the time being at least, the new BMW M550i xDrive will assume the status of range-topper in the new BMW 5 Series line-up. Boasting a mighty M Performance TwinPower Turbo engine, BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive with rear-wheel bias and a bespoke M Performance chassis set-up, the new BMW M550i xDrive can be classed as both a four-door sports car and the most dynamic business sedan around. With its abundant torque reserves and high-revving characteristics, the V8 power unit serves up a matchless blend of supreme performance, wonderfully precise driving dynamics and uncompromised everyday usability. This all helps the new BMW M550i xDrive to set the pace in its segment and turn each and every drive into an exhilarating experience.

State-of-the-art high-performance engine melds power with efficiency.

The new BMW M550i xDrive is the first BMW 5 Series M Performance model to be powered by a petrol engine, namely a specifically modified M Performance TwinPower Turbo eight-cylinder unit with a displacement of 4.4 litres. The V8 is equipped with two twin-scroll turbochargers and features the High Precision Injection direct injection system, Valvetronic fully variable valve timing and Double-VANOS variable camshaft control. This all adds up to an output of 340 kW/462 hp* at 5,500 rpm* (fuel consumption combined: 8.9 l/100 km [31.7 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 204 g/km)** and peak torque of 650 Nm (479 lb‑ft)* that can be summoned from just 1,800 rpm*.

The state-of-the-art, high-performance engine comes with all the dynamic credentials expected of a BMW M Performance Automobile, propelling the BMW M550i xDrive from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.0 seconds, then on to an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). At the same time, the new V8 engine also demonstrates the exceptional efficiency of the M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology. The new BMW M550i xDrive already complies with the exacting EU6c emissions standard.

Steptronic Sport transmission and BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive.

Drive transfer in the most powerful BMW 5 Series Sedan is, at present, handled by the standard-fit Steptronic Sport eight-speed transmission, which plays a significant role in the superb dynamics of the BMW M550i xDrive. The M Performance configuration of the shift modes has been tailored to the characteristics of the V8 engine, with distinctly sporty gear changes and more instantaneous downshifts across the entire rev range, and serves to enrich the thrilling driving experience. For an even sharper sporting edge, the eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission can also be operated using the shift paddles on the steering wheel. The transmission itself helps to cut fuel consumption and emissions thanks to its compact design, low weight and optimised efficiency.

The BMW xDrive all-wheel-drive system in the BMW M550i xDrive splits drive power between all four wheels as the situation demands – intelligently and with a rear-wheel bias. BMW xDrive is thereby key to delivering two intrinsic elements of the trademark M Performance driving experience under all conditions: superlative driving performance and extremely precise handling. And when the adaptive M Sport suspension (lowered by 10 millimetres) is added to the equation, along with either the standard 19-inch M light-alloy wheels in Cerium Grey metallic matt or the optional*** 20-inch light-alloy wheels (in an exclusive design, also painted in the Cerium Grey metallic matt finish), the result is tremendous handling stability and optimum traction, come what may.

In addition, the power steering with M-specific responses in the SPORT and SPORT+ settings serves to highlight the crisp handling and precise driving properties of the sportiest representative yet of the new-generation BMW 5 Series. Steering commands are executed with pinpoint accuracy and the driver receives the sort of feedback that guarantees immense driving pleasure when powering along twisty sections of road. The performance-enhancing specification of the BMW M550i xDrive is completed to perfection by the

M Sport brakes with brake callipers in Blue metallic and M badging, which combine outstanding stopping power with excellent feel.

Sporty looks with exclusive M Performance equipment features.

The exterior of the new BMW M550i xDrive boldly expresses the sedan’s dynamic performance capabilities, while also underlining its status as the flagship model in the new BMW 5 Series range. The M aerodynamic package, including an M rear spoiler with Gurney flap on the boot lid, accentuates the sporty, dynamic lines of the new BMW 5 Series, at the same time as optimising the airflow around and over the car. The exterior mirror caps, the kidney grille surround, the special M Performance bars on the front air intake and the two Air Breathers at the sides all sport the exclusive Cerium Grey metallic finish, while the high-gloss Shadow Line trim around the windows gives added impact to the dynamic business sedan’s undeniably sporty appearance. An M sports exhaust system – with exclusive tailpipe embellishers in Black chrome on the left and right – is responsible for producing the unmistakable and rousing BMW M soundtrack.

Illuminated door sills bearing the inscription “M550i xDrive” beckon passengers into the interior, where M sports seats upholstered in Black Dakota leather with blue contrast stitching, the latest version of the M sports steering wheel, M design floor mats and special interior trim strips and pedals made from aluminium combine to create the aura of sporting exclusivity that is a hallmark of all BMW M Performance Automobiles.

Driver assistance systems take the hard work out of routine tasks.

Just like the other models in the latest-generation BMW 5 Series line-up, the BMW M550i xDrive also offers an even wider choice of assistance systems to help the driver, if desired. These include an evasion aid, crossing traffic warning system and active Lane Change Warning, which uses steering inputs to avert an impending collision. The optionally available Active Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping Assistant now feature extended functionality. And Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, which allows speed limits to be automatically imported into the cruise control system, likewise represents another step along the road to automated driving for the BMW M550i xDrive.

Forging an even closer link between man, machine and the outside world.

The latest generation of the BMW 5 Series enables close-knit connectivity between the driver, vehicle and outside world thanks to BMW Connected. This new system links up devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, computers and tablets, as well as the vehicle’s navigation system, via the BMW servers. This, then, is highly intelligent technology. Indeed, it is capable of identifying movement patterns as well as personal preferences, turning it into a de facto personal mobility manager that helps users to overcome with ease the increasingly complex challenges of day-to-day mobility. Before the journey has even started, BMW Connected automatically factors in Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) for route-planning purposes, and recommends departing earlier if a detour has to be made due to traffic hold-ups. And although BMW Connected uses the vehicle’s location as the basis for calculating the route in the usual way, it takes the BMW driver’s whereabouts into account too. The new system also merges the functions and services of the familiar BMW Remote app and BMW Connected app. Plus, users are able to access products such as ParkNow for digitised reservation and payment of parking spaces, not to mention the intelligent On-Street Parking Information feature, which identifies the areas of a town where drivers are most likely to find a free parking spot. And if the optional Remote Parking system is specified, the BMW 5 Series Sedan can be manoeuvred into even the tightest spaces from outside the vehicle with the help of the car key. Last but not least, once the car has been parked, BMW Connected helps to guide users to their final destination on foot.

Sportiness and everyday usability in perfect harmony.

The BMW M Performance Automobiles are exclusive products from BMW M GmbH and slot in between the top-of-the-range standard BMW models and the core M models built for maximum performance. “We develop the BMW M Performance Automobiles for customers who are seeking very sporty driving characteristics yet do not wish to sacrifice any of their BMW’s everyday practicality,” explains Frank van Meel, CEO of BMW M GmbH. “The experience and expertise garnered by BMW M in the world of motor sport and the development of high-performance sports cars are also channelled into the development of our BMW M Performance Automobiles. The sales success clearly demonstrates that we are on the right track. When you take a look at the BMW AG model portfolio, you will notice that not every model series includes a BMW M Performance Automobile. We will expand our product range wisely and close any gaps in the line-up strategically.”

The model portfolio currently comprises the 3-door BMW M140i, 3-door BMW M140i xDrive, 5-door BMW M140i, 5-door BMW M140i xDrive, BMW M240i Coupe, BMW M240i xDrive Coupe, BMW M240i Convertible, BMW M240i xDrive Convertible, BMW M550d xDrive Touring, BMW X4 M40i, BMW X5 M50d, BMW X6 M50d and BMW M760Li xDrive.

The new BMW M550i xDrive is scheduled to join the existing model line-up in March 2017.

Munich. In March 2017, just a few weeks after the latest generation of the BMW 5 Series is launched, a plug-in hybrid variant will join the ranks of the world’s most successful business sedan. The BMW 530e iPerformance is a sporty sedan that serves up the dynamic driving experience for which the brand is renowned, combined with the possibility of electric driving with zero local emissions. Its fuel consumption of 1.9 l/100 km (148.7 mpg imp) equates to CO2 emissions of just 44 g/km*. The BMW 530e iPerformance is the most innovative model in its class and offers the full wealth of BMW 5 Series driver assistance systems – in all modes, including eDrive. These systems are complemented by all the available comfort-enhancing features and excellent long-distance driving credentials, including a boot that can hold ample luggage for trips away. As for its power source, trailblazing BMW eDrive technology teams up with a BMW TwinPower Turbo petrol engine to create an exceptionally economical and powerful plug-in hybrid drive system that fits perfectly with the dynamic, smooth and efficient character profile of the new BMW 5 Series. The iPerformance tag attached to all of BMW’s plug-in hybrid models bears testimony to the transfer of know-how from BMW i to the core brand’s cars. The BMW 530e iPerformance is the sixth member of a growing portfolio of iPerformance models that have proved a hit with customers.

Power delivery on a par with a high-displacement combustion engine.
The BMW eDrive system’s state-of-the-art electric motor has an output of 70 kW/95 hp and places maximum torque of 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) on tap, while the four-cylinder combustion engine with its 2.0-litre displacement generates 135 kW/184 hp and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque. The combination of motor and engine keeps the CO2 emissions of the BMW 530e iPerformance very low at just 44 g/km. The overall system output of 185 kW/252 hp and combined peak torque of 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) propel the BMW 530e iPerformance from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.2 seconds and enable it to reach a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph). The BMW 530e iPerformance has a range of up to 650 kilometres (404 miles) in real-world driving and is capable of covering distances of up to 50 kilometres (31 miles) purely on electric power at a maximum speed of 140 km/h (87 mph). The electric motor and combustion engine direct their power to the sedan’s rear wheels via the standard eight-speed Steptronic transmission. Positioning the electric motor upstream from the transmission allows the transmission’s ratios to be used in all-electric mode too. This dispenses with the need for a torque converter, something that goes a long way towards offsetting the weight penalty of the additional drive unit.

The high-voltage battery pack consisting of lithium-ion cells with a total capacity of 9.2 kWh has been placed in a space-saving location underneath the rear seat and includes efficient refrigerant cooling with a highly integrated low-temperature circuit. Thanks to the battery’s neat installation, the BMW 530e iPerformance offers 410 litres of boot capacity and a flat load compartment floor. The high-voltage battery of the BMW 530e iPerformance can be fully charged in under five hours from a standard domestic power socket and in under three hours if it is hooked up to a BMW i Wallbox (3.7 kW charging capacity).

Discreet visual differentiation inside and out.
A series of understated visual highlights provide tell-tale signs of the cutting-edge drive technology under the bonnet of the new BMW 530e iPerformance. Blue kidney grille slats, blue wheel hub covers, the charging socket located between the front wheel arch and the A-pillar on the driver’s side, the “eDrive” emblems on the C‑pillars and, of course, the “530e” badge on the boot lid are the most noticeable identifying features of the plug-in hybrid variant. When passengers open the doors, they are welcomed by illuminated sill panels bearing “eDrive” lettering and an interior that mirrors the sporty elegance of the exterior design, just as it does on all variants of the business sedan. The BMW 530e iPerformance additionally comes with an eDrive button on the centre console, along with specially designed displays for both the instrument cluster in front of the driver and the central information screen.

BMW eDrive adapts and anticipates.
As well as the Driving Experience Control switch, with its SPORT, COMFORT and ECO PRO settings, drivers will also find an eDrive button at their disposal, which lets them tailor the BMW eDrive system’s operation even more precisely to the journey ahead through three driving modes: AUTO eDRIVE, MAX eDRIVE and BATTERY CONTROL.

AUTO eDRIVE ensures that the engine and electric motor interact to optimum effect in all driving situations and allows an all-electric top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph). This mode is automatically activated as the default setting every time the vehicle is started. When MAX eDRIVE mode is selected, the BMW 530e iPerformance drives on electric power alone. To do so, it uses the electric drive’s full power and can attain a maximum speed of 140 km/h (87 mph). However, if the accelerator is pressed through to kickdown the engine will cut in, which is handy should an extra boost of power be desired – when overtaking, for example.

BATTERY CONTROL mode lets the driver set the charge level for the high-voltage battery manually. The target value can be adjusted to between 30 and 100 per cent of maximum charge, allowing that proportion of the battery’s capacity to be reserved for all-electric driving at a later point in the journey. The intelligent battery management of the BMW 530e iPerformance either keeps the high-voltage battery’s charge constant at the selected level or increases it to the pre-set value, with the electric motor acting as a generator. In this way, BATTERY CONTROL mode makes it possible to conserve or even increase the reserves of electric power while travelling on the motorway, for example, in order to ensure that an upcoming section through an urban area can be covered with zero local emissions.

Latest-generation iDrive for even more intuitive operation.
As in all the other models in the new BMW 5 Series line-up, the navigation, telephone, entertainment and vehicle functions grouped within the optional high-resolution 10.25-inch display can be controlled not only using the iDrive Controller, but also by simply touching the buttons on the display or with the help of the Intelligent Voice Assistant. BMW gesture control, which reacts to simple movements of the hand or fingers, offers users another option when it comes to operating these functions.

All driver assistance systems and equipment features are available.
The new BMW 530e iPerformance does not impose any restrictions when it comes to the choice of equipment options, meaning that it is able to support the driver with an extensive range of assistance systems, if desired – and these can also be used in eDrive mode. The systems comprise the evasion aid, crossing traffic warning, the Lane Change Assistant and active Lane Change Warning, which intervenes in the vehicle’s steering to avert an impending collision. The optional Active Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping Assistant now come with new functions. These include importing the speed limits relayed by Speed Limit Assist to the Active Cruise Control system, with the driver also having the option of setting a margin of variation of +/– 15 km/h (+/– 9 mph). This feature brings the BMW 530e iPerformance a step closer to automated driving, as does the Steering and lane control assistant; with this system, the vehicle helps the driver maintain a safe distance, accelerate, brake and stay in lane when travelling at speeds between 0 and 210 km/h (0 – 130 mph).

BMW Connected Onboard: the personalised start screen.
With the launch of BMW Connected in the USA and Europe in 2016, BMW has introduced an all-encompassing digital concept designed to aid personal mobility. Using a flexible platform called the Open Mobility Cloud as a basis, BMW Connected seamlessly integrates the vehicle into the user’s digital life via multiple touchpoints, such as an iPhone, Apple Watch, Android smartphone or smartwatch. Further new functions have been introduced in the new BMW 5 Series Sedan, for example BMW Connected Onboard, which allows personalised information such as the next navigation destination, estimated arrival time and current weather conditions at the destination to be shown on the car’s display. BMW Connected is additionally able to transfer the user’s personal mobility agenda from their smartphone straight to their car.

Surround View and 3D View offer peace of mind to anyone who frequently finds themselves manoeuvring in awkward traffic situations in city centres by allowing them to keep an eye on the area surrounding their BMW 5 Series at all times. The system shows a bird’s-eye view of the driver’s car as well as a three-dimensional image of the traffic situation. With the Remote 3D View technology integrated into BMW Connected, these three-dimensional views of the vehicle’s surrounding area can now be accessed from smartphones too, allowing owners to quickly check on their parked car no matter how far away it is. The image data is transmitted over the mobile phone network to the mobile device.

Parking with ease: ParkNow and On-Street Parking Information.
Drivers of the new BMW 530e iPerformance will be able to access products such as ParkNow for digitised reservation and payment of parking spaces, as well as the On-Street Parking Information technology making its debut in the new BMW 5 Series. This system uses a local prediction model to compute probable parking options in a particular part of town and shows them to the driver on the display.

Email access with Microsoft Exchange.
BMW is now the first carmaker to offer Microsoft Office 365 users a secure server connection for exchanging and editing emails, calendar entries and contact details thanks to the car’s built-in Microsoft Exchange function. This seamless integration enables users to stay productive while on the road. Addresses from appointments can be imported straight into the navigation system and telephone numbers can be dialled directly from a linked phone.

Sixth model to carry the iPerformance tag.
In the same way that M Performance is a nod to the link between the BMW core brand and BMW M, BMW highlights the transfer of know-how from BMW i to the core brand’s cars by adding the iPerformance tag to the designations of all plug-in hybrid BMWs. The list of groundbreaking models in whose tyre tracks the BMW 530e iPerformance will follow includes the BMW 225xe iPerformance, BMW 330e iPerformance, BMW X5 40e iPerformance and BMW 740e/740Le iPerformance, plus the BMW X1 xDrive 25Le iPerformance sold exclusively in China. BMW therefore offers an extremely wide selection of iPerformance models, ranging from compact to luxury-class. The new BMW 530e iPerformance brings a sixth model to the portfolio, with further additions set to follow.

BMW, eden izmed svetovno najuspešnejših proizvajalcev premium avtomobilov se prav tako ponaša z izvrstnim položajem na trgu štirikolesnega pogona, segmentu, kamor je prvič vstopil pred 30 leti. Približno vsako tretje prodano vozilo BMW po vsem svetu je danes opremljeno z inteligentnim sistemom štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive. Uspešnost znamke BMW v tem segmentu ni le rezultat priljubljenih modelov BMW X, ampak tudi štirikolesnih modelov drugih modelnih serij, od BMW serije 1 do BMW serije 7. Vzdolž teh modelnih serij je na voljo široka izbira modelov s štirikolesnim pogonom za zelo različne verzije motorjev. Hkrati pa BMW nadaljuje z razvojem štirikolesne tehnologije in jo nenehno izpopolnjuje. Z nudenjem BMW xDrive v kombinaciji s hibridnim pogonom in platformo podvozja s sprednjim pogonom, proizvajalec vedno znova dokazuje svojo usposobljenost na tem področju, ki mu bo zagotovila vodilni položaj v tem segmentu tudi v prihodnje. BMW nudi danes več kot 110 modelov – s katerimkoli tipom menjalnika – z BMW xDrive v 12 različnih modelnih serijah, prav tako pa je ta oprema na voljo tudi pri priključnem hibridu BMW i8 in kompaktnem BMW 225xe z električnim pogonom.

Žarišče od prvega dne naprej: trakcija in dinamika.
Prvi naskok znamke BMW na trg štirikolesnega pogona se je zgodil z razkritjem BMW 325i “Allrad” na mednarodnem avtomobilskem salonu v Frankfurtu leta 1985. Novinec navzven ni takoj razkril svojih notranjih kvalitet, zato je imela njegova predstava, ko so ga novinarji odpeljali na testno vožnjo še toliko večji “vau” efekt. Prvi sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW ni izboljšal le trakcije izven urejenih cest in v neugodnih vremenskih razmerah, ampak je omogočal tudi bolj dinamično vožnjo skozi zavoje. “Novi BMW je nov šampion, ko gre za obnašanje vozila med vožnjo,” se je glasila soglasna sodba testnih voznikov nemške avtomobilistične revije Auto Zeitung kmalu po prvem razkritju.

Današnji inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive pomika značilno vozno dinamiko BMW na novo raven. Aktualna generacija tega sistema je krmiljena s pomočjo integriranega upravljanja šasije (ICM), ki zagotavlja, da se xDrive vedno odzove ustrezno in v najbolj zgodnjem možnem trenutku, ki se določi na osnovi zanesljivega zaznavanja in nadzorovanja trenutne vozne situacije. Posegi se lahko izvajajo bodisi izključno z BMW xDrive bodisi z xDrive v kombinaciji z dinamičnim nadzorom stabilnosti (DSC) ali dinamičnim nadzorom zmogljivosti (DPC). Hiter in natančen nadzor porazdelitve pogonskega momenta zagotavlja značilne vozne lastnosti BMW tudi pri ekstremno dinamični vožnji skozi zavoj.

S tem je sistem štirikolesnega pogona natančno prilagojen tipičnim lastnostim pogona BMW na vsa štiri kolesa. To pomeni, da se pri modelih s štirikolesnim pogonom večji delež pogonskega momenta posreduje na zadnji kolesi, če vožnja poteka v normalnih voznih razmerah. Na ta način se ohrani natančna povratna informacija krmiljenja BMW, ki praktično odpravi navor krmiljenja. Za natančno zavijanje in visoko stabilnost ohranjanje smeri vožnje, najnovejša generacija sistema BMW xDrive povečuje količino moči na zadnji kolesni par, kakor hitro vozilo vstopi v zavoj, kar še izboljša užitek v vožnji, ki je sinonim za BMW.

Tehnologija štirikolesnega pogona BMW: neprekinjena evolucija od leta 1985.
Stalni sistem štirikolesnega pogona, ki je vgrajen v BMW 325i “Allrad” iz leta 1985, porazdeli pogonski moment med sprednjo in zadnjo premo v razmerju 37 : 63. Kot odgovor na razlike pri vrtilni frekvenci koles sta viskozna sklopka v razdelilnem gonilu in zadnji diferencial lahko zagotovila praktično togo povezavo med sprednjo in zadnjo premo, da bi se izboljšala trakcija in stabilnost. Ime modela se je kmalu preimenovalo v BMW 325iX, od leta 1988 pa je bil na voljo tudi v različici “touring” (mala začetnica v veljavi do in vključno s serijo E46).

1991: BMW 525iX.
Tri leta pozneje je BMW vpeljal štirikolesni pogon tudi v BMW serije 5. Prvič je bila porazdelitev moči uravnavana elektronsko. Prenovljen sistem je vključeval lamelne sklopke, ki so omogočale, da se je standardna porazdelitev moči med sprednjo in zadnjo premo v razmerju 36 : 64 spreminjala brezstopenjsko in avtomatsko v skladu z voznimi razmerami. Najprej se je hidravlično krmiljena lamelna sklopka uporabljala na zadnji premi, vendar je bila ta pozneje zamenjana z elektronsko krmiljenim selektivnim zavornim posegom. Sistem, ki je nadzoroval vozno situacijo prek signalov vrtilne frekvence koles iz ABS, je bil dopolnjen z dodatnimi informacijami o stanju zavor, vrtilni frekvenci motorja in položaju dušilne lopute.

Sistem štirikolesnega pogona v BMW 525iX je bil od vsega začetka razred zase. Elektronski nadzorni sistem je posredoval zelo hitro in natančno povratno informacijo, kar je pomenilo varno in nevtralno obnašanje vozila med vožnjo tudi v zahtevnih voznih razmerah, kot so mokre ali zasnežene ceste. Tudi pri BMW serije 5 so bili prvi modeli s štirikolesnim pogonom na voljo kot Limuzina ali Touring.

1999: Športno terensko vozilo (SAV) odpira novo poglavje.
Na uvodu v novo tisočletje je senzacionalno debitiral zelo inovativen koncept vozila znamke BMW. BMW X5, prvo športno terensko vozilo (SAV), je kupce navdušil z vozno dinamiko, ki je bila brez primere med ostalimi terenskimi vozili tistega časa. Izvrsten sistem štirikolesnega pogona je pri tem odigral pomembno vlogo. Planetno gonilo je porazdelilo pogonski moment med sprednjo in zadnjo premo v razmerju 38 : 62, medtem ko so elektronski nadzorni sistemi, kot npr. DSC (dinamični nadzor stabilnosti), ADB-X (avtomatska diferencialna zavora) in HDC (pomoč pri spuščanju po klancu), zagotavljali, da je bil novi BMW X5 športen na cesti in opremljen za premagovanje zahtevnih razmer izven utrjenih poti.

V letih, ki so sledila uspešnemu lansiranju koncepta SAV na trg, ni bilo pri BMW nobenega popuščanja v hitrem tempu razvoja štirikolesnega pogona. Leta 2000 je za model specifična različica tehnologije štirikolesnega pogona BMW X5 postala na voljo za četrto generacijo BMW serije 3.

2003: BMW xDrive debitira v BMW X3 in BMW X5.
Štiri leta od prihoda na trg BMW X5, je BMW nadaljeval s svojo dinamiko z lansiranjem koncepta SAV v novem segmentu vozil. Novi BMW X3 je bil kompaktnejši od BMW X5 in je nudil še bolj agilne vozne lastnosti. Postavil je nove mejnike in v naslednjih letih ostal edini premium model v svojem razredu.

Prenovljen sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive, ki je bil istega leta vpeljan v BMW X3 in BMW X5, je kmalu povečal vodilni položaj znamke BMW v segmentu štirikolesnega pogona. Na osnovi ekstremno hitro delujoče elektronske lamelne sklopke v razdelilnem gonilu, je xDrive deloval v tandemu z dinamičnim nadzorom stabilnosti (DSC), ki sta porazdelitev pogonskega momenta stalno prilagajala aktualni vozni situaciji. Poleg vrtilne frekvence koles je elektronski nadzorni sistem prvič upošteval tudi podatke dinamičnega nadzora stabilnosti (DSC), kot so npr. krmilni kot, položaj pedala za plin in bočni pospešek. Zato je BMW xDrive prvi svetovni, in še vedno edini, “inteligentni” sistem štirikolesnega pogona. V nasprotju s konvencionalnimi sistemi štirikolesnega pogona, ki se odzovejo, ko se vsaj eno kolo že vrti v prazno, lahko xDrive zazna nevarnost prekrmiljenja ali podkrmiljenja že ob prvih znakih in proaktivno posreduje s preusmeritvijo toka pogonskega momenta.

Inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive v naslednjih letih ni bil vgrajen le v modele BMW X, ampak tudi v različice xDrive modelov BMW serije 3 in serije 5 obeh karoserijskih izvedb (Limuzina in Touring). Do prihoda na trg BMW X3 druge generacije v letu 2010, je bilo po vsem svetu prodanih več kot 600.000 vozil te serije. Nekoliko prej je prodaja BMW X5 – ki je s svojo drugo generacijo prišel na trg v letu 2006 – presegla znamko enega milijona.

2008: SAC z dinamičnim nadzorom zmogljivosti (DPC) in hibridnim pogonom.
Z dvema močno uveljavljenima karoserijskima izvedenkama SAV v svojih segmentih, je BMW leta 2007 javnosti predstavil prvo svetovno športno terensko vozilo s silhueto kupeja (SAC). Popolnoma novi BMW X6, ki je bil razkrit na mednarodnem avtomobilskem salonu v Frankfurtu, je dvignil značilen dinamičen značaj modelov BMW X na novo raven intenzivnosti. Inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona je bil prvič kombiniran z dinamičnim nadzorom zmogljivosti (DPC), ki spreminja porazdelitev pogonskega momenta med zadnjima kolesoma pri vožnji skozi zavoj, kar zagotavlja neprekosljivo agilnost in stabilnost tudi pri nenadnih spremembah hitrosti ali prehitevanju. Leta 2009 je BMW Active Hybrid X6 demonstriral naslednjo odlično kombinacijo – med BMW xDrive in hibridnim pogonom. Medtem je oddelek BMW M GmbH istega leta k svoji ponudbi športnih vozil z visoko zmogljivostjo dodal dva zelo posebna modela. Z M uglašenim sistemom BMW xDrive, vključno z dinamičnim nadzorom zmogljivosti (DPC), sta BMW X5 M in BMW X6 M pokazala zmogljivost, ki doslej v segmentu vsekolesnega pogona ni bila poznana.

Leto 2009 je bilo premierno še za en novi model z oznako X, to je BMW X1. V naslednjih letih je BMW X1 ostal edino vozilo svoje vrste v premium kompaktnem segmentu. Njegov inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive, enak kot v novem BMW X3 (2010), je bil prav tako združljiv z nadzorom zmogljivosti. Slednji selektivno zavira kolo na notranji strani zavoja, medtem ko sočasno povečuje moč motorja, kar zagotavlja hitro in precizno vožnjo skozi zavoje in dviguje agilne vozne lastnosti obeh modelov na novo raven.

BMW xDrive na voljo tudi za ostale modelne serije.
Nenehen napredek modelov BMW X je spremljala rast števila različic xDrive, ki so bile na voljo tudi pri ostalih modelnih serijah BMW. BMW xDrive, ki je bil konstruiran za izboljšanje agilnosti pri vožnji skozi zavoj in večjo natančnost, omogoča izpopolnjeno vozno doživetje in optimalno kombinacijo dinamike ter udobja. Zato je bilo le še vprašanje časa, kdaj bo ta inteligentna pogonska tehnologija doživela svoj prvenec tudi v BMW serije 7 (leta 2009). Spomladi leta 2012 sta bila prva modela Coupé in Cabrio s štirikolesnim pogonom na voljo tudi v športnem BMW serije 6. BMW xDrive se lahko naroči pri aktualnih BMW serije 3 in serije 5 ter, od leta 2013, v modelih Cabrio, Coupé in Gran Coupé novega BMW serije 4.

Nenehno spodbujanje napredka.
Z lansiranjem novega BMW X4 v letu 2014 je BMW naredil nov korak v premium segmentu srednje velikih vozil. Nova izvedenka SAC nudi edinstveno kombinacijo užitka v vožnji, prefinjenega sloga in moderne praktičnosti. Model X4 ima tehnologijo BMW xDrive na voljo že v osnovni opremi in je razpoložljiv s širokim spektrom različic motorjev. Istega leta je BMW prav tako predstavil modele BMW X5 tretje generacije, BMW X6 druge generacije in M športni različici obeh modelov. BMW xDrive je debitiral še v novem BMW serije 2 Active Tourer. To je bil nekoliko drugačen prvenec, saj je BMW svoj inteligentni sistem štirikolesnega pogona prvič kombiniral s popolnoma novo platformo podvozja s sprednjim pogonom.

Z BMW i8, ki je bil javnosti predstavljen leta 2014, je BMW Group pogumno zakorakal v novo smer, ki je vključevala tudi sistem štirikolesnega pogona. Ta športni model s konceptom sedežev 2 + 2 poganja zelo napreden priključni hibridni sistem, ki združuje motor z notranjim zgorevanjem na zadnji in elektromotor z visoko učinkovitostjo na sprednji premi.

Osredotočen na prihodnost: BMW xDrive sreča BMW eDrive.
Najnovejši modeli BMW s štirikolesnim pogonom prinašajo tehnološki napredek, ki je močno vpet v mobilnost prihodnosti. Vozilu BMW i8 je sledil mednarodni prihod na trg prvega proizvodnega priključnega hibrida iz jedrne blagovne znamke, in sicer BMW X5 xDrive40e. Po zaslugi stalnega sistema štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive in tehnologije eDrive BMW EfficientDynamics, združuje to športno terensko vozilo (SAV) vznemirljivo športno zmogljivost z izvrstno učinkovitostjo. Inteligentno upravljanje moči hibrida sinhronizira obratovanje motorja z notranjim zgorevanjem in elektromotorja, da v vsakem trenutku poveča učinkovitost, medtem ko se odlično odziva na voznikove zahteve. Pogonski moment iz obeh pogonskih enot se prenaša na cesto s pomočjo stalnega inteligentnega sistema štirikolesnega pogona BMW xDrive.

BMW serije 7: integralno aktivno krmiljenje združljivo z BMW xDrive.
V mesecu septembru 2015 je na mednarodnem avtomobilskem salonu v Frankfurtu svojo svetovno premiero doživela šesta generacija BMW serije 7. Najbolj luksuzna limuzina BMW, ki prinaša revolucionarne inovacije na vseh področjih, je z BMW xDrive na voljo od svojega prihoda na trg (oktober 2015). Nova luksuzna limuzina bo prav tako prvi model, ki bo omogočal kombinacijo inteligentnega sistema štirikolesnega pogona z integralnim aktivnim krmiljenjem, kar pomeni –pasivno krmiljenjem zadnjega kolesnega para.
