Editorial
A MASTER CLASS
IN MOTION.
The art of design.
BMW believes in the potency of ideas. From high-performance
engines to advanced handling technologies, many of our greatest
concepts begin at desks, on printouts or in blueprints. But an idea
doesn’t have to start on paper to be powerful — or inspiring.
At the BMW Museum in Munich, there is a kinetic sculpture that
immediately catches the eye with its complexity and beauty. No less
than 714 metal balls continually align and then realign themselves in
ever-shifting patterns - some abstract, some in the familiar contours
of a BMW vehicle. The sculpture serves as a perfect representation
of our approach to design: it is this same fluid concept of beauty that
we apply to our vehicles, even from the earliest stages. And like the
sculpture, each component of our design concept must be in place
in order to create a cohesive, unified whole. Like a team of artists, our
designers work together to shape their vision using models, sketches
and even discussions. It’s a complex process that yields a truly unique
product: a new BMW design.
The BMW 5 Series Sedan - a winning combination of elegance,
sportiness and luxury — captures this principle beautifully. With its
timeless profile with contours that impress, the gracefully chiseled
body of the BMW 5 Series expresses the essence of BMW design.
But it is not simply a superficial attraction. You'll find equal attention to
detail has been paid to the entire vehicle. The cabin serves as a master
class in functional comfort, from the Black Panel Display technology
that awakens to glowing life at the press of the Start button, to the
Parking Assistant feature that selects and then helps pilot you into
parking spaces. Under the hood, BMW’s TwinPower Turbo engines
have become more fuel efficient, giving you even more reasons to
keep driving longer. Each of these aspects is compelling on its own.
Incorporated into a single, symphonic whole, the result is no less than
class-leading. The BMW 5 Series Sedan resets the standards. It’s a
difference that rewards drivers, passengers and onlookers alike.

BMW 5 Series Sedan design
and style: both answer any
questions about how we
see the world of automotive
beauty. From the powerful
front end, to the expressive
contours, to the signature
Hofmeister kink, each eyecatching section is also
a vital component in the
dynamic, elegant symphony
of the vehicle’s exterior. And
if your question is, does it
drive the way it looks? The
answer is a resounding yes.

BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS:
THE LANGUAGE OF BMW ENGINEERING.
BMW EfficientDynamics has kept us moving toward one constant goal: our unwavering commitment to achieving
maximum power and efficiency with minimum emissions. This compels us to create the most efficient models
possible - from powerful, lightweight engines to aerodynamic tail ends, and every part in between. For example,
our Brake Energy Regeneration technology harnesses the kinetic energy normally wasted when coasting and
stopping. This energy is stored in the vehicle’s battery, where it is available for running electrical components.
As a result, the engine does less work, saving fuel and reducing emissions. It’s just one more way BMW is moving
forward to make driving as enjoyable and efficient as possible.

heart of the issue. With no fewer than three TwinPower Turbocharged
engine choices — a four-cylinder, six-cylinder and V-8 - the BMW
5 Series Sedan offers classic pulse-raising BMW performance. A
6-speed manual and two 8-speed automatic transmissions harness
this power perfectly. Additionally, the 8-speed transmissions provide
enhanced fuel efficiency. It’s the most thrilling way to take flight.

At BMW, bold artistic statements are reinforced in even the smallest details. In this case, numerous supporting technologies help you make
the most out of every ounce of this masterpiece’s power and grace. Take, for example, BMW’s Electric Power Steering (EPS). Enhancing
both-precision-and comfort, the EPS system relies on an electric motor, as opposed to conventional mechanical systems, to provide
assistance during steering maneuvers on an as-needed basis only. Once steering wheel movement ceases, such as when cruising,
energy consumption from this innovative system is reduced to zero. So you can drive exactly as you intend — with poise and precision.

A BMW SHOULD
ALWAYS RADIATE
DYNAMISM.
Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design, invited
us to join him on an exclusive test drive. An interview with
the expert about the design of the BMW 5 Series Sedan.

gets to work on his design model.
Adrian van Hooydonk, what do you personally find so special
about the BMW 5 Series Sedan? This BMW 5 Series reveals at
a glance exactly what you can expect to experience inside. It’s the
perfect fit, like a suit that’s made to order —- and the BMW 5 Series
suits any occasion. No matter if you’re on business, on vacation or
driving around town, you're always dressed right, with a sure sense
of style.
At BMW, the 5 Series invariably has a special part to play.
How do you see the role of this series in the current BAW
portfolio? The 5 Series is the brand’s core product. The BMW
5 Series Sedan has the longest pedigree in the range and, for that
reason alone, it holds a special place in our corporate history. As
always, this BMW 5 Series demonstrates the perfect combination
of sportiness and elegance.

Din gain
Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design,
describes the BMW 5 Series Sedan.
Were these the two primary characteristics you were after in
your design? Let's say that’s why the design of the BMW 5 Series
features very dynamic lines at the front and rear, while the side view
has a stretched and timeless look to it.
The way we see it, you’ve implemented three design concepts
in a single car. Would you agree? The observer always sees a car
as a whole. Every BMW expresses a high degree of sportiness and
elegance, with the mixture varying from one series to the next. For
me, the BMW 5 Series is the epitome of the sporty business sedan.
While it clearly belongs to the large sedan class, at thesame time it
has its own distinctive looks, based on the three primary characteris+
tics that you referred to: the charismatic appeal of the front end, the
stylish elegance of the side view, and the natural, authentic sportiness
of the rear. Those were indeed the specifications for this model, and
I'd say they're all readily identifiable in the finished product.
att ’
Interior designer Oliver Heilmer checking the lines and
dimensions of the body on the clay model.
You put great emphasis on the dynamism of this model. But
how sporty can a BMW 5 Series Sedan be? A BMW must always
be an expression of dynamics and motion! The 5 Series in particular
appeals to customers who love driving, including long distances, and
really appreciate the typical driving dynamics of a BMW. The proportions are clearly defined by the heritage of BMW sedans: short overhangs, long wheelbase, a long hood and the cockpit set well back.
It seems you like working with lines. The door handles, for
example, meld into the seam lines. The primary measures of
BMW’s design language are proportion and volume. It’s only at
second glance that the lines that delineate the spaces become visible.
Inside, you’ve opted, in general, for clearly defined spaces,
with clean lines and no unnecessary frills. What’s the reasoning behind that? The interior, too, has to speak of dynamics and
elegance. Our idea was to express this through smoothly flowing
lines across the instrument panel and doors.
How do you manage to create an interior with such a modern
atmosphere? First and foremost, by ensuring that the exterior and
interior form a harmonious whole — and just like on the outside, the
closer you look inside the BMW 5 Series, the more innovations you
discover. For example, there’s the momentum of the two lines on
the instrument panel that’s carried over onto the passenger side —
something that only strikes you at second glance. Or the way the
trim panel transitions from the instrument panel to the door, with a
chrome-color highlight. It’s the sum of these detailed refinements
that explains the appeal of the BMW 5 Series interior.
The headlights are capped with a strip of frosted glass that
looks like an eyebrow, while the taillights have a pronounced
L-shape. Why did you go for these visuals? Our “night design,”
as we Call it, ensures that the BMW 5 Series can be clearly identified
as a BMW even in the dark. That's why, at the front, we chose to
have the “eyebrows” lend a slightly angular look to the round twin
headlights. The L-shape of the taillights builds a bridge between
tradition and progress. The Corona headlight-rings are also available
with state-of-the-art LED technology.
Were there any areas where you deliberately wanted to set this
model apart from its predecessor? This time around, we have
designed a very upright kidney grille. In fact, we’ve gone back to giving
it a slight forward angle. This shows, on the one hand, how firmly rooted
we are in our own design history. On the other hand, it underpins the
sporty character of this model. Overall, the latest BMW 5 Series Sedan
looks a touch lower and wider than its predecessor — which means it
looks even more dynamic.
The kidney grille is particularly wide and striking in this model.
Why is that? Well, of course the kidney grille is not just a design
element, it’s also an important air inlet. But in the current BMW
5 Series the design of the kidney grille has one primary purpose.
It says, “This is one sporty sedan!”
Thank you very much for this exclusive interview! It was a
pleasure talking to you.

Driven to innovate, BMW imbued the 5 Series Sedan
with a range of cutting-edge technologies that elevate
the entire driving experience. But this is not technology
for its own sake. Each groundbreaking feature is seamlessly designed and integrated for maximum operating
efficiency and user-friendliness. Only in this way can
we increase the thrill of The Ultimate Driving Machine®
without losing its signature driving feel.

BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS:
VEHICLES THAT REQUIRE LITTLE AND GIVE ALOT.
BMW was one of the first automotive manufacturers to pursue efficient driving technologies — one part of our award-winning sustainability strategy.
Our commitment to EfficientDynamics means we are continuously developing innovative systems that bring us closer to our long-term goal of
emissions-free mobility. However, we remain equally committed to driving pleasure, which is being pursued in different ways. First, there is the
continuing optimization of conventional diesel- and gasoline-powered models. Second, BMW hybrid vehicles are already on the road. Third, the
first 100% electrically powered BMW - the BMW ActiveE - is being distributed in a field trial to customers. And fourth, the fleet of BMW Hydrogen 7
vehicles impressively demonstrated the potential for combining hydrogen drive with a combustion engine.
Since 1995 BMW has been able to reduce the CO emissions of its entire fleet by approximately 30 percent. BMW has rolled out more than
two million vehicles equipped with EfficientDynamics: 31 models already produce less than 225g of CO> per mile, and BMW intends to achieve a
further 25 percent reduction by 2020. BMW EfficientDynamics represents the most comprehensive package of innovative technologies currently
in production, for reducing fuel consumption and emissions while simultaneously creating The Ultimate Driving Machine®
Different paths to the same destination: unmistakable BMW driving pleasure.
In early 2010 BMW launched its first production models with hybrid drive: the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 and the BMW ActiveHybrid X6. Both models
offer an unparalleled combination of increased fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and thrilling performance. The BMW ActiveE, with its innovative
100% electric drive system, introduces a whole new form of dynamic performance, paving the way for the future of emissions-free mobility. Finally,
a completely new vehicle concept targeted at meeting the need for sustainable mobility in fast-growing metropolitan areas will soon become reality:
the BMWi3.
BMW Vision EfficientDynamics: Vision becomes reality.
In 2014 BMW plans to debut the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics
test model - a 2+2 sports car featuring groundbreaking plug-in
hybrid technology that combines sports-car performance with
compact-class consumption. Powered by the latest-generation,
full-hybrid system, the vehicle — in concept form — generates a total
of 328 hp through a 161-hp, three-cylinder turbo diesel engine with
214 lb-ft of torque, as well as a hybrid synchronous engine on the
front axle and fully hybrid drive system on the rear axle. With a range
of up to 435 miles, its ratio of performance to fuel consumption is
without equal, positioning BMW as the world’s leading manufacturer
of exceptionally efficient, sporty vehicles.

EFFICIENT DYNAMICS INITIATIVE AT A GLANCE.
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.
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
This innovative turbocharging technology efficiently reclaims the energy
contained in exhaust gases, using two turbochargers (550i and 550i xDrive)
or using a twin-scroll charger (528i, 528i xDrive, 535i and 535i xDrive).
Valvetronic.
BMW’s Valvetronic valve control system improves engine response and
refinement, while also helping to reduce fuel consumption. The system
helps the engine “breathe” better by providing fully variable lift adjustment
of the inlet valves.
8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission.
The close spacing of gear ratios in this 8-speed automatic transmission
makes maximum use of the optimum rev range, reducing fuel consumption and allowing smoother shifts.
Not all BMW EfficientDynamics features are available on all models.
Please see your authorized BMW center for details.
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 windshield, 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.
Brake Energy Regeneration.
In vehicles with Brake Energy Regeneration, the alternator generates
electricity only when the driver takes his or her foot off the accelerator.
Kinetic energy that was previously unharnessed is transformed into
electrical energy, 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.
BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.

THREE ADVANCED ENGINES. ONE GREAT VEHICLE.
THE BMW 5 SERIES SEDAN.
Engines that power innovation. Year after year, BMW engines have garnered accolades for their output, refinement and high-rewving ability.
Beneath the long hoods of the 5 Series Sedans are three of the world’s most sophisticated engines. All are designed to deliver on BMW's
EfficientDynamics philosophy: increased power with decreased fuel consumption and emissions. Whichever engine you select, you'll enjoy
the thrill of BMW performance while helping to protect the environment every day.
BMW 550i and 550i xDrive.
BMW’s 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V-8 is the essence of an iron fist in
a velvet glove. Calling on two parallel turbochargers, its robust 400 hp
accelerates the 550i smoothly from 0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds; while
the boost from 450 Ib-ft of peak torque is sustained from 1750 all the
way to 4500 rpm. Thanks to High Precision Direct Injection, this V-8 is
also extremely fuel efficient.
BMW 535i and 535i xDrive.
This unique engine combines a twin-scroll TwinPower Turbo,
High Precision Direct Injection, and - in a first for turbocharged
engines — BMW’s Valvetronic variable intake technology that helps
the engine “breathe” better. The result: turbo lag is virtually eliminated,
while posting one of the most fuel-efficient ratings in its class. The 535i
and 535i xDrive TwinPower Turbo develops maximum output of 300 hp
at 5800 rpm, redlining at 7000 rpm. Peak torque of 300 Ib-ft kicks in
almost immediately at 1300 rpm. It continues to push you back in your
seat all the way to 5000 rpm. In just 5.7 seconds? you're easily passing
60 mph in the 535i — and just as easily surpassing all expectations.

(ARS) twists special two-piece
anti-roll bars to generate stronger
resistance to body roll, keeping
the vehicle more level and providing maximum stability and agility.
Dynamic Damping Control (DDC),
on the other hand, 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.
Driving Dynamics Control.
When equipped with the 8-speed
Sport Automatic transmission, you
can adjust the 5 Series Sedan’s
driving characteristics by pressing
a button. Choose from three settings: NORMAL, SPORT and SPORT+,
to adjust engine-throttle response,
transmission shift characteristics
and power-steering assist. In addition, the traction control feature
can be disengaged when driving
on sand, gravel, or deep or packed
snow.
BMW xDRIVE INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL DRIVE:
THE POWER TO MASTER ANYTHING
THAT CROSSES YOUR PATH.
xDrive intelligent
all-wheel-drive system.
The BMW 550i xDrive, 535i xDrive
and 528i xDrive all deliver maximum
traction, even in the most slippery
road conditions. BMW’s xDrive
intelligent all-wheel-drive system
monitors data such as engine
speed, steering angle, wheel
speeds and acceleration. On
smooth, dry roads, more power
is normally sent to the rear axle,
giving vehicles with xDrive the feel
of their rear-wheel-drive 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.
8-speed Sport Automatic
transmission.
Enjoy quick, comfortable gear shifts,
using the gear selector lever or
steering wheel-mounted gear shift
paddles. The close spacing of the
eight gears optimizes acceleration
while improving efficiency and
shift comfort.
Dynamic Stability Control
(DSC).
DSC helps to stabilize the BMW
5 Series Sedan 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.
Passive safety.
In the event of a collision, the
Sedan’s 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. In a 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 designed
to snap back so that the doors
can open.

Every minute, it seems, technological advances allow
greater connectivity and interactivity between vehicles,
consumer electronics, the internet and the driver.
At BMW, electronic systems will never replace the thrill
of driving — but they do enhance the driving experience.

Automatic high beams let you enjoy the convenience of switching
between high and low beams automatically. When the Automatic high
beams system is activated, an image sensor at the back of the rear-view
mirror monitors oncoming traffic and lighting conditions. Based on this
data, the system decides whether or not the high beams should be
switched on. When it detects vehicles ahead, or the sensor indicates that
ambient light is sufficient, the high beams are automatically switched off.
BMW’s on-board Navigation system uses Global Positioning System
(GPS) satellites and data stored on an internal hard drive to guide you
to your destination, which is displayed on a 10.2-inch high-resolution
screen. Features include 3-D daytime and nighttime maps, zoom,
travel planner, and an Assistance Window. The system also offers
Voice command for convenient, hands-free operation, and 12 GB of
storage for your favorite media files. Online Information Services include
MyInfo, which allows Google Maps™ destinations to be sent to your
vehicle, as well as BMW Online when your vehicle is also equipped
with BMW Assist Convenience Services.
Real Time Traffic Information is a valuable feature, included with the
Navigation system, that makes you aware of traffic congestion in most
large cities before you encounter it. This feature displays and describes
current local traffic information on your Control Display; in case of delays
greater than five minutes, it suggests alternate routes.
BMW Night Vision’ with Pedestrian Detection helps you avoid
dangerous situations by recognizing them sooner. With this feature,
an infrared camera in the front bumper scans up to 900 feet ahead,
detecting people and animals — and the direction of their movement,
up to 300 feet away. The camera images are shown in the Control
Display and, if so equipped, on the Head-up Display. Pedestrian
Detection also gives a visual warning to indicate any people or animals
that are moving close to the road.
‘ Night Vision performance is limited by rain, fog, humidity and other weather conditions.

When | am in the middle of rush-hour traffic,
| don’t want to take my eyes off the road, even
for a second. Luckily, | don’t have to. The Headup Display projects Navigation instructions and

While Active Steering varies just front-wheel

Active Steering handles a lot of the work for you.
Active Ventilated Seats.
| drive long distances on my job. My BMW client
advisor said that getting Active Ventilated Seats
in my 5 Series Sedan would make a huge difference in how | felt. What do they do?
Active Ventilated Seats are constructed with
two hollow cavities in the seat bottom. These
are alternately filled and emptied with liquid.
This slow, gentle process raises and lowers the
cushion’s left and right halves by about half an
inch. Although the movement is imperceptible,
it acts to move your muscles, increasing blood
flow. During long trips, this helps relieve fatigue.
With the ventilation feature, multiple fans inside
each front seat blow air upward through the
perforated leather, helping to keep you feeling
fresh and your clothes free of perspiration.
Active Cruise Control.
My friend has a5 Series Sedan that is equipped
with Active Cruise Control. How is this different
from regular cruise control?
Let’s say you're on a congested highway —
slow-moving traffic that’s more stop than go.
It’s a situation no driver relishes. But with Active
Cruise Control, it’s a whole different story. As
soon as the vehicle ahead of you stops, your
BMW also comes to a smooth, controlled halt.
Once traffic starts moving again, so does your
BMW, as if it had eyes of its own. And it does:
a radar sensor monitors the area in front of the
car. Its visual range extends from just in front of
the bumper to 500 feet ahead — more than one
and one-half football fields - because Active
Cruise Control is not just for slow traffic. It also
works at higher speeds, up to 110 mph! The
system also includes the Forward Collision
Warning feature, which uses two warning levels
to alert you of a potential collision.
‘BMW urges you to obey all posted speed laws and always'wear,
safety belts.
iPhone® and Bluetooth® connectivity.
After taking delivery of my BMW 5 Series
Sedan, | got in, pressed the Start button, and
heard my favorite song playing through the

Once they are connected, or “paired,” the
5 Series Sedan communicates perfectly with
your iPhone or any other BMW-approved,
Bluetooth capable mobile phone. Your address
book and the music library are also automatically
available. It’s all thanks to Bluetooth wireless
technology and the hands-free equipment in
your BMW. You can access phone numbers
stored in your mobile phone via the iDrive
Controller or the buttons on the steering wheel.
To start a hands-free call, simply press a button.
BMW Parking Assistant.
Every evening it’s always the same: searching
for a parking space. | waste so much time and
energy trying to squeeze into spots that are
too short. My client advisor told me that the
5 Series Sedan has a Parking Assistant feature
that can not only find parking spaces, it can
even help me park. How does it do that?
When you press the “Parking Assistant”
button, drive under 22 mph and keep within
five feet of the row of parked cars — on the
left or the right - ultrasonic sensors integrated
into the side indicators measure the size of all
parking spaces. If you pass a space that’s at
least four feet longer than your vehicle, a green
light will come on, and it will appear on your
Control Display. Put your vehicle in reverse
gear, take your hands off the steering wheel,
and press the accelerator or brake pedal.
The 5 Series Sedan takes care of everything
else. Park Distance Control or the Rear-view
Camera will always let you know how close
you are to other parked vehicles.

2 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.

worldwide. It’s a unique place where BMW enthusiasts can spend days
—or, in the surrounding area, an entire vacation.
Whether you’ve been driving for decades or just got your learner's permit,
we can help take your driving skills to the next level. Behind the wheel of
our new BMWs and under the expert guidance of professional driving
instructors, you'll hone your driving skills on a versatile driving course —
1.7 miles of asphalt that can be configured in a multitude of ways. In
One- and Two-Day Schools you can tackle the skid pad, slalom course
and water walls. The BMW Performance Driving School is about control
and pushing a BMW to its limits — and yours.
You'll always remember the fun of taking delivery of your new BMW —
with BMW Performance Center Delivery. After enjoying dinner and an
overnight stay at a first-class hotel, we'll take you and your companion
to the Performance Center where a Product Specialist will give you an
in-depth introduction to your new BMW. Then at the Performance
Driving School, you'll get tips from a professional driving instructor as
you explore the dynamic capabilities of a similar model. It’s exciting, it’s
enlightening — and it’s all compliments of BMW with your new vehicle.
