MUCH MORE THAN A SEDAN.
NOTHING LESS THAN A BMW.
The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo transforms traditional into modern.
The name’s homage to classic Italian grand touring cars recalls those
first cousins of high-performance sports cars — closed coupes that
offered more room, comfort and refinement for making short work of
long-distance drives. Since then, evolution in the Gran Turismo realm
focused on increasing performance and front-seat comfort. It took
until the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo to make the next leap in GT
design and capability.
The 5 Series Gran Turismo combines the elegance of a BMW Sedan
with the performance and style of a Coupe and the versatility of a
Sports Wagon. Up to five can share in the grand touring experience,
with sumptuous accommodations further personalized with Luxury
Line, Modern Line or M Sport, and cutting-edge infotainm:
The Coupe-inspired design gets a longer, lower look, with changes to
the tailgate design also adding to the generous trunk space. There’s
growth under the long hood, too, where the 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V-8
in the 550i gets a boost to a staggering 445 horsepower. Both the
V-8 and the 535i model’s 300-hp TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder come
teamed to an 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission, and both
models can be equipped with the innovative BMW xDrive intelligent
all-wheel-drive system.
The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo’s exhilarating handling will delight
the driver through every curve. And it will delight all on-board with
ride comfort well beyond that of “traditional” GTs. Credit goes to
finely tuned suspension systems crafted largely from aluminum,
along with available chassis technology exclusive to the segment,
including Integral Active Steering, Active Roll Stabilization and
Dynamic Damper Control.
Nor is there anything traditional about the connectivity and infotainment
in both seating rows. In front, anew touchpad Controller for the standard
iDrive 4.2 Navigation system works like the personal technology you
use every day. In the second row, an available DVD entertainment
system will please passengers of all ages. BMW ConnectedDrive®
caters to both business and personal needs with a suite of office apps
and Internet-based services. And optional BMW Concierge Services
can make travel arrangements and more, on the go. A vacation with the
family, a ski trip with friends, impressive comfort for clients — life’s
journeys are indeed grander when shared.

SPACE PRODIGY.
The unique dual-access tailgate on the 5 Series Gran Turismo raises luggage handling to an art. With the
rear seats in use, opening the lower lid below the rear window accesses the main trunk area, with a locking
partition shielding passengers from the elements. The 40/20/40 split-folding rear seatbacks offer more flexibility
than the more typical 60/40 split. And the rear seat can slide forward up to 2.8 inches to expand trunk space —
and still leave more legroom than in most midsize sedans. With all rear seatbacks folded, open the full tailgate
to load larger items into the cargo space.
DEEP-SEATED LUXURY.
Second-row passengers travel first-class in the 5 Series Gran Turismo. For a scenic view, they sit a
bit higher than front-seat occupants. For a relaxing ride, they can stretch out with nearly 40 inches of
legroom and recline the seatbacks by up to 33 degrees. Rear-seat passengers can set personal
temperature preferences with the four-zone climate control, while power side-window shades shield
them from sunlight and offer privacy. Add rear-seat entertainment with DVD player, dual 8-inch
screens and wireless headphones, and then get accustomed to hearing, “Are we there already?”

DRIVER ASSISTANCE FEATURES: DESIGNED TO ENHANCE
YOUR BMW DRIVING EXPERIENCE.
Driving a BMW isn’t always the thrill of taking tight corners and accelerating onto a highway. There are the more mundane tasks of, say, finding
and maneuvering into a parking space, or exiting an indoor garage onto a busy street and avoiding pedestrians you cannot see. For those times,
innovative BMW ConnectedDrive driver assistance features make every moment behind the wheel as effortless and enjoyable as possible.
HEAD-UP DISPLAY.
The BMW Head-up Display uses a multi-color TFT to project the image
toward the windshield more in your line of vision, so you can easily
keep your eyes on the road while checking important travel information,
such as your current speed, Check Control data and Navigation system
directional arrows.
PARKING ASSISTANT.
This driver-assistance system searches for suitable parking spots and
then steers your vehicle into them. Simply press the “Park Assistant”
button, then drive along potential parking spaces on either side of the
road, staying below 22 mph and no more than five feet away. Using
ultrasonic sensors integrated into the side indicators, the system
searches for and measures parking spaces. When a space at least
four feet longer than your vehicle is spotted, it is shown on your Control
Display. Shift into reverse and Parking Assistant takes control of steering
your vehicle into the selected space; you operate the accelerator and
brake pedals. The acoustic and visual warnings of Park Distance Control
provide assistance.
DRIVING ASSISTANCE FEATURES.
Numerous BMW ConnectedDrive features help enhance active safety.
For example, when your vehicle crosses over lane markings without
signaling, Lane Departure Warning, a component of Active Driving
Assistant, warns you by sending a mild vibration through the steering
wheel. Active Blind Spot Detection, activated when you use the
turn-signal indicator before changing lanes, warns if a vehicle is in your
blind spot or approaching at a high speed in the passing lane.
BMW NIGHT VISION WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION.
This feature can scan up to 900 feet ahead using an infrared camera
in the front bumper. It can detect people, as well as the direction of
their movement, up to approximately 300 feet away and displays their
presence on the iDrive screen and Head-up Display. The system gives
a visual warning when pedestrians move toward the road, alerting you
to potential dangers significantly earlier so you can react more quickly.

BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS:
MAKING A LITTLE GO A LONG WAY.
Under the umbrella of the BMW EfficientDynamics project, BMW is continuously developing innovative systems that will bring us closer to the goal of
emissions-free driving in the long term. However, we remain committed to driving pleasure, which is being pursued in different ways.
Eco-friendly technology. The development of more efficient vehicles powered by conventional gasoline and diesel engines are continuing
challenges. A comprehensive technology directive enables the reduction of fuel consumption and emissions, while at the same time increasing power
output and driving enjoyment. These advances are based on innovations such as BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, Brake Energy Regeneration,
Air Curtain front apron design, and many others.
BMW ActiveHybrid. With the BMW ActiveHybrid 7, BMW ActiveHybrid 5 and BMW ActiveHybrid 3, BMW has impressive hybrid production models
in its line. All combine outstanding efficiency with superlative dynamic ability.
BMW i. The all-new BMW i brand is launching two completely new vehicle concepts for sustainable mobility in an urban environment; both are an
important part of BMW EfficientDynamics technologies. Key features of the BMW i3 and BMW 8 include the use of lightweight materials such as
carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), electric drive systems, powerful battery technology and eco-friendly production methods.

A bmwusa.com/EfficientDynamics
THE 5 SERIES GRAN TURISMO
EFFICIENT DYNAMICS INITIATIVE AT A GLANCE.
Auto Start-Stop function.
Even when idling, such as at a stop sign, an engine burns fuel. BMW’s
Auto Start-Stop function enhances fuel efficiency by switching off the
engine. (The intelligent electronics system first checks the battery charge
level and calculates if other electric systems, like the heated rear window,
need more energy.) Once the brake pedal is released, the engine starts
up again almost instantly. A Start-Stop signal in the Display indicates the
function is active.
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
This innovative twin-scroll turbocharging technology efficiently reclaims
the energy contained in exhaust gases, using a twin-scroll charger with
a double-flow exhaust system.
High Precision Direct Injection.
In this latest-generation direct fuel injection system, the piezo injectors
are positioned very close to the spark plugs. They inject fuel at high
pressure, with extreme precision, for very efficient combustion.
Brake Energy Regeneration.
To supply a battery with electrical energy, the generator (alternator) is
usually driven using engine power, which requires fuel. With Brake
Energy Regeneration, the alternator generates electricity only when
you take your foot off the accelerator. Kinetic energy that was previously
unharnessed is transformed into electrical energy, which is then fed into
the battery. In this way, electricity is generated without consuming fuel.
Electric power steering.
Unlike conventional, hydraulic steering systems, electric power steering
draws power only during actual steering movements. When the steering
wheel position is constant, the electric motor is inactive.
ECO PRO mode.
Driving in ECO PRO mode helps customers achieve fuel savings of up
to 20 percent, depending on their individual style of driving. This mode
optimizes accelerator and transmission response as well as shift points,
and intelligently adapts the heating/air conditioning strategy. ECO PRO
tips help the driver drive even more efficiently. The bonus range shown
by the on-board computer indicates how many additional miles the driver
has gained thanks to the increased efficiency in ECO PRO mode since
the last fill-up.
8-speed Sport Automatic transmission.
The close spacing of gear ratios in the 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission makes maximum use of the optimum rev range, reducing fuel
consumption and allowing smoother shifts.
Optimized fuel efficiency.
BMW EfficientDynamics enables every BMW engine to provide maximum
power while using a minimum of fuel. In the BMW 650i Gran Coupe’s
TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine, two parallel turbochargers are positioned
between the cylinder banks. This compact design with shorter intake
paths provides power and performance at a previously unattainable level.
Not all BMW EfficientDynamics features are available on all models.
Please see your authorized BMW center for details.
BMW ENGINE TECHNOLOGY: A HERITAGE OF INNOVATION.
A FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE EXHILARATION.

THE BEST FOUNDATION FOR DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE:
A SUPERIOR CHASSIS.
The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo can be equipped with a whole host of innovative technologies to help you get the most out of each drive.
Many of these systems are intelligently networked with each other, maximizing your active safety quotient — and your driving pleasure.
Integral Active Steering. In rear-wheeldrive vehicles with Integral Active Steering,
at speeds of up to 30 mph, a small turn of the
steering wheel yields a greater turn of the front
wheels for more direct response. This feature
also steers the rear wheels up to 2.5 degrees
in the opposite direction, giving the effect of a
shortened wheelbase for enhanced maneuverability. When changing lanes at speeds over
50 mph, both front and rear wheels turn in the
same direction, giving the feel of an extended
wheelbase.
With Driving Dynamics Control including
ECO PRO mode you can adjust the driving
characteristics of the 5 Series Gran Turismo
by simply pressing a button. To change enginethrottle response, transmission shift characteristics
and power-steering assist, choose from four
settings: COMFORT, SPORT, SPORT+ or ECO PRO
mode. In addition, the traction control feature can
be disengaged when driving on sand, gravel,
or deep or packed snow.
Adaptive Drive combines two active chassis
control systems, Active Roll Stabilization and
Dynamic Damper Control. Adaptive Drive
minimizes the tendency of the body to roll,
enhancing passenger ride comfort and vehicle
agility during sporty driving maneuvers. In
constant operation while the vehicle is in
motion, it includes Dynamic Drive, an active
chassis control system that uses active
stabilizers on front and rear axles to counteract
body roll when cornering, especially at higher
speeds. This helps ensure precise steering and
balanced reactions to load changes. Rideenhancing Dynamic Damper Control instantly
adjusts shock absorbers from the softest to
the firmest settings. The result is exceptional
ride comfort and fluid handling at all times -
during changes in vehicle speed, load, or
road and driving conditions.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) helps to
stabilize the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo in just
milliseconds when it senses an impending skid.
Whenever the system senses over- or understeer, it modulates engine power and can apply
brakes individually to each wheel to help keep
the vehicle under control and going in the
intended direction. For sportier driving or in deep
snow, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)
allows increased wheelslip.
In the event of a collision, the 5 Series
Gran Turismo’s passive safety system
determines which of six airbags to deploy for
optimal protection. An extremely rigid steel
“safety cage” surrounds the cabin, with
deformable crush tubes front and rear. Ina
severe crash, impact energy is routed around
the cabin and absorbed by the safety cage.
In a severe side impact, a reinforcing bar hooks
the door to the body, locking them together to
make a more rigid passenger cell. When the
pressure is released, the system is then
designed to snap back so that the doors
can open.
HIGH-TECH BODYGUARDS: ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SAFETY.
The 5 Series Gran Turismo is designed with BMW’s full range of standard state-of-the-art active and passive safety technologies. Active safety
features, such as Xenon Adaptive Headlights, powerful engines and large brakes, help you see and respond to potentially dangerous situations.
Should an accident prove unavoidable, passive safety features, such as airbags and reinforcing bars that hook the doors to the body, are designed
to help protect you and your passengers. After a severe impact, a host of features spring into action: the doors automatically unlock, headlights
and taillights flash, the starter cable is disconnected from the battery and the fuel supply is cut off. Should any airbags deploy, BMW Assist eCall™
response specialists are automatically alerted and notified of your location.
Adaptive Headlights for low and high beams enhance illumination of
the road ahead at night or in poor visibility. Four LED Corona headlightrings, which can be used as Daytime Running Lights, also serve as
parking lights. Adaptive Headlights provide optimum illumination of the
road ahead when the car enters a turn. Light distribution is automatically
adapted to the road speed and steering angle. Cornering Lights, which
are positioned in the two inner headlights, are automatically activated by
using the turn indicator or changing the steering wheel angle, even when
the vehicle is at rest.
Airbags. In the event of a collision, BMW’s supplemental restraint system
(SRS) determines which airbag(s) to deploy for optimal protection. When
a safety belt is used, airbags deploy only at a higher crash severity; the
force of the deployment depends upon the severity of the impact. Driver
and front passenger airbags, the Curtain System with head airbags and
front seatback-integrated side airbags provide effective protection for
you and your passengers in the event of a collision.
Note: These pictures of airbags are for illustrative purposes only. Depending upon the type of
accident, none, some or all airbags may deploy.
32 33 Chassis and safety features
xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system provides maximum
traction, even in the most slippery conditions. The system monitors
data such as engine speed, steering angle, wheel speeds and
accel-eration. On smooth, dry roads, more power is normally sent
to the rear axle, giving vehicles with xDrive the feel of their rear-wheeldrive counterparts. But hit a wet uphill curve, for instance, and even
before wheelspin can occur, the system immediately recognizes any
need for a change in power distribution. Using a controlled clutch, it
sends more torque to the front axle to enhance stability and achieve
greater traction.
“y
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) sensors constantly monitor driving
status and, as necessary, modify directional stability and traction by
intervening in the engine and brake management systems. This makes it
easier to handle the vehicle, even in difficult road conditions, and actively
enhances driving safety and therefore driving pleasure.
BMW restraint system for driver and front passenger combines threepoint safety belts, automatic safety-belt pretensioners, and seat bolsters
that help prevent occupants from sliding forward. Active Head Restraints
in the front seats reduce the risk of whiplash or neck/head/spine injury.
When sensors detect a rear-end collision, the headrests automatically
and rapidly pivot forward, supporting the occupant’s heads.
Run-flat tires. Thanks to reinforced sidewalls, run-flat tires maintain
their shape and rim position even after suffering a complete loss of tire
pressure. They allow you to continue driving at a reduced speed until
you reach a safe area to change a tire or wait for Roadside Assistance.
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you when there is a sudden and
irregular drop in tire pressure. Should the target pressure of a tire fall
below 25 percent, both a warning light and acoustic alarm are triggered.
Active Head Restraints in the front seats reduce the risk of whiplash
or neck/head/spine injury. When sensors detect a rear-end collision, the
headrests rapidly and automatically pivot forward, supporting the driver's
and front-seat occupant’s heads.
Body stiffness. The intelligent use of high-strength multi-phase steel
and aluminum provides a high degree of body stiffness and crash resistance. Components, such as the A-pillars and windshield frame, include
special reinforcements to provide optimum occupant protection.

Due to low-profile tires, please note: Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as
well as debris, curbs and other obstacles, can cause serious damage to wheels, tires
and suspension parts. This is more likely to occur with low-profile tires, which provide
less cushioning between the wheel and the road. Be careful to avoid road hazards and
reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low-profile tires.
3Performance tires are not recommended for driving in ice and snow conditions.

BMW Assist eCall,° a safety feature
of BMW ConnectedDrive, lets you
enjoy peace of mind knowing that a
friendly response specialist is there
to help you, 24/7, at just the push of
a button. This includes Emergency
Request (SOS button), Automatic
Collision Notification, and Customer
Relations. BMW TeleService® continually monitors specific vehicle parts
that are subject to wear and tear, as
well as services that require attention
at regular intervals, such as vehicle
service inspections. This data is automatically transmitted to your authorized
BMW center, which informs a BMW
Service Advisor to call and schedule a
convenient service appointment. You
don’t have to keep track of when your
vehicle requires routine maintenance.
An added benefit: any needed maintenance service parts will already be on
hand, so your BMW is serviced and
returned to you as quickly as possible.
And because they use only Original
BMW Parts, you can rely on expert fit
and long-lasting BMW quality.

measures the condition of key parts that are subject to wear and tear.
It also tracks fluid levels and monitors your BMW’s time- and mileagedependent service requirements. Using this data, the Info Display in the
cockpit automatically alerts you in advance whenever any part of your
vehicle will require servicing — so there are no surprises ahead.

BMW and the environment.
BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. We launched
BMW EfficientDynamics back in 2000 - the philosophy of providing greater power with
increased efficiency and fewer emissions. This has resulted in significant benefits today —
for our customers, the climate and the environment.
That year, ecological sustainability was also declared one of BMW’s core strategic principles;
it is now firmly anchored in our entire production chain. It starts with the development of
fuel-saving and alternative vehicle concepts, continues with environmentally friendly
production processes, and ends with innovative recycling methods. This effort has been
recognized worldwide; in 1999, BMW AG - the parent company of BMW of North America
and BMW Manufacturing Co. in Spartanburg, SC - was the first automotive company to be
represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index. It has remained on the Index ever
since; moreover, since 2005, BMW has been voted the world’s most sustainable automobile
manufacturer. At BMW, we strive for and achieve high performance in all we do.
