The new 5 Series Sports Wagon adds yet another feature typical of BMW – flexibility – to the outstanding attributes of sporting performance, supremacy, and elegance already boasted by the new 5 Series Sedan.
The reason, quite simply, is that the new five-door model offers BMW's proverbial flexibility in everyday use in addition to the outstanding dynamics of its four-door Sedan counterpart. With its luggage compartment variable in size from 500–1650 liters the Sports Wagon caters for virtually all transport requirements.
Unique design:
The ideal blend of common sense and superior elegance.
It almost goes without saying that the new 5 Series Sports Wagon wraps this generosity in space and freedom into the most elegant and stylish body:
With its own unique line, the Sports Wagon takes up the dynamic design
elements of its Sedan counterpart, featuring the same striking front end all the way back to the B-pillars. From there the smooth transition to the D-pillars is fully integrated into the organic design of the car, not in any way creating the impression of a rear section simply grafted on. On the contrary – the Sports Wagon with its rear spoiler optically extending the roofline is almost reminiscent of a coupe, the rear view with split tail lights clearly revealing the unusual width of the car and consciously interpreting styling features of the sedan.
Making its debut with a choice of no less than four engines.
The new BMW 5 Series Sports Wagon is entering the market with four model variants: two diesels – the 525d and 530d – and two petrol models – the 525i and 545i. A new addition to the range is the 2.5-liter diesel, a straight-six featuring the latest common rail technology, four valves per cylinder and a VNT turbocharger developing maximum output of 130 kW (177 bhp) and maximum torque of 400 Newton-metres or 295 lb-ft.
