They said it
couldn't be done. How do you upgrade the finest series
of executive sedans ever? Start by providing more room -
inside the passenger compartment and the trunk. Then
make the vehicle lighter, stronger and faster.

Let's start with
the styling. The car displays a sense of agility and
power - your first hints at what is to come. From the front,
it is easy to mistake this executive class sedan as a muscular
coupe. While maintaining the BMW identity, this car
stands out from the crowd.
An all-aluminum
suspension and other weight-saving innovations have reduced
the weight from the previous version of the five series by
over 100 pounds. At the same time, both front and rear
occupants have more room, and there is increased capacity in
the trunk as well.
The weight savings
translates into greater fuel efficiency and faster
acceleration times. When combined with some incredible
new technologies, such as Adaptive Headlights, Active
Steering, Dynamic Drive Control and Active Cruise Control, you
have an automobile that surpasses every expectation.
Interior
design is also at the top of the class. Form follows
function, and this car has every control in the right place.
The most often used controls are either on the steering wheel
or the column.
A heads-up display
is available that provides important information within the
driver's line of vision while not obscuring or distracting
from the road. The driver can determine what data is
displayed, such as navigational aids or road speed.
For interior
comfort, a new Adaptive Climate Control, standard on all
models, will automatically adjust both the temperature and the
humidity inside the cabin, counteracting the annoying tendency
of auto air conditioners to dry out the interior.
As always, safety
considerations have a prominent place in the new vehicle.
Optional Adaptive headlights actually swivel with the bends in
the road, providing greater illumination. Brake Force
Display provides extra brake light area during heavy braking,
essentially adding additional lighting to the running lights
to augment the brake lights, alerting drivers behind to
dangerous conditions.
We could go on and
on, but the best way to find out about this terrific new
vehicle is to see it for yourself! It is expected to
make its debut in the U.S. in October, and as a VIP customer
at Savage BMW, you can be sure that you will be the first to
know when one is available to view! |
