The BMW Group at the NAIAS 2017 in Detroit

The seventh generation of the #bmw 5 Series Sedan will cut a sporty, elegant and stylish figure when it hits the roads in markets around the world in February 2017. Further enhanced dynamics, an unbeatable line-up of assistance systems, an unmatched degree of connectivity and a new and innovative operating system are the most important new features. The new #bmw 5 Series Sedan therefore has all the tools it needs to continue the remarkable success recorded by its predecessors; around 7.9 million #bmw 5 Series cars were sold across its first six generations. “The seventh generation of the #bmw 5 Series points the way into the future, as we have defined it with our NUMBER ONE > NEXT strategy. We see technological leadership, emotionally rich products and digitalisation as essential factors in achieving success. With the expansion of our model portfolio in the large- vehicle classes, we are satisfying the wishes of many customers. I’m in no doubt that the new #bmw 5 Series will set new benchmarks technologically, but also have huge emotional appeal. It remains the epitome of the business sedan,” says Harald Krüger, Chairman of the Board of Management at #bmw AG. Superior driving pleasure and unsurpassed aerodynamics. Rigorous application of the #bmw EfficientLightweight lightweight design #concept, with increased use of aluminium and high-strength steels, reduces the weight of the 5 Series Sedan by up to 100 kilograms from that of its predecessor. The newly designed chassis, a low centre of gravity, BMW’s hallmark even weight distribution and a lightweight body offering exceptional torsional stiffness combine a wonderfully dynamic driving experience with the long-distance comfort for which the #bmw 5 Series is renowned. Various chassis options such as Integral Active Steering, which can now be teamed with xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive, add further talents to a dynamics- focused overall package designed to ensure the #bmw 5 Series once again stands at the top of its class. The drag coefficient of the new, 4,935 millimetre-long #bmw 5 Series Sedan (Cd = 0.22 at its most efficient) sets the benchmark in its class.
