BMW 5-Series Touring: a family row

A new chapter in the history of the BMW 5-series began with the unusual hatchback GT, preparing a further under Chris Bangle. At the Geneva Salon showed flagship sedan in the style of sevens. Finally his turn came up, and versatile. Machine with a factory index F11 - already the fourth generation of the Bavarian-fives estate. Like the sedan, the new product is made in a restrained, postbenglovskom style. But feed the car was interesting. First of all, thanks to a striped rear optics in the style of a sedan. Salon - both in the new seven. Wagon built on the same platform as the BMW 7-Series, the sedan. This means that it has double wishbone front suspension and rear - Five-arm with aluminum levers. For a surcharge can be put back thruster rear suspension Integral Active Steering. The main difference between touring suspension from the sedan - pnevmoelementy rear, providing a constant level of the body, regardless of load. Rudder helps turn the electric motor. A setting of "active" chassis control system Dynamic Driving Control. Wheelbase - the same as that of the sedan - 2968 mm, the largest in the classroom. Trunk volume compared to the previous station wagon has grown by 60 liters to 560. And if you fold the rear seats, you get 1,670 liters vs. 1,650 previously. In this fifth series wagon load - 650 kg. You can load the barrels. And the convenience of loading paid much attention. Small things can be put through a rising glass tailgate, a luggage rack is equipped with electric drive. For an extra fee you can electrify and tailgate. Seat backs are deflected by 11 degrees. If you put them vertically - luggage will increase to 30 liters. In addition, the backrest is in a ratio 20:40:20. That is, any of the three parts can be folded separately. But despite the longest wheelbase options luggage wagon BMW 5-series is not particularly outstanding. For example, a station wagon Mercedes-Benz E-class luggage capacity ranging from 695 to 1950 liters, while the Audi A6 Avant - from 565 to 1660 liters. Engines - the same as in the sedan, but their choice is rather modest: two gasoline inline six turbodiesel, and two, four and six cylinder. For comparison to the previous universal attached benzomotorov five and four diesel. The most accessible version of the 523i is equipped with a versatile three-liter atmosfernikom with direct injection, developing 204 hp. with. at 6100 rpm. A maximum torque of 270 Nm is available in a range of 1500-4250 rpm. This motor paired with a 6-step "mechanics" car accelerates to 100 km / h in 8.2 s, and the maximum speed is limited at around 231 km / h. The average flow rate - 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers. Second benzomotor - direct row six of the same volume, but with a turbocharger and a control system TwinScroll lifting height of the intake valves Valvetronic. Maximum power - 306 hp. with. (5800 rpm).. A maximum 400 nyutonmetrov already available from 1500 rpm. With this engine BMW 535i Touring accelerates to 100 km / h in 6 seconds and accelerate to 250 km / h will not work - will not allow electronic collar. The average consumption of a passport at the car is small - just 8.6 liters per 100 kilometers. The diesel engine fitted to the BMW 530d Touring, - also a three-liter, inline-six-cylinders. Turbochargers with variable-geometry intake tract and fuel injection system Common Rail third generation have led to an average consumption of 6.4 liters per 100 kilometers. The motor produces a maximum 245 hp. with. at 4000 rpm and 540 Nm between 1750-3000 rpm. To disperse hundreds in just 6.4 sec, and the maximum speed a little bit not up to the mark 250. The only four-cylinder engine in the lineup - a modernized version of the two-liter diesel injection system 520d CommonRail, a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. Maximum power - 184 hp. with. A torque is increased to 30 "Newton", up to 380. And is available in the area from 1750 to 2750 rpm. Acceleration up to hundreds of almost the same as that of the petrol version 523i - 8,3 sec. A maximum speed of just below - 222 km / h. And those who order five mechanics, is negligible, the base station wagons still equipped with six "pen". Fee required for each motor can be ordered 8-band "machine» ZF with gearshift paddles - the same as in the new seven. Likely range of engines in the future be added. About that, there will be "charged» M-wagon version, too early to speak. But to believe, nobody forbids.
