BMW 5 SERIES

With roots dating back to 1972, the BMW 5-Series is one of BMW's most historic and sophisticated vehicles. Designed with the intention of combining aesthetic athleticism with comfort and performance, the all-new 2020 5-Series goes above and beyond. It is the sportiest business sedan in its class. The technology that it contains is state of the art, and the feel of the vehicle is unparalleled. Without any further ado, here is all that you need to know about the all- new 2020 BMW 5-Series.

Looks That Could Kill

The exterior on the 5-Series is one that will leave you in awe. It is the perfect combination of dynamic athleticism and elegance.

Starting at the front, the headlights received a redesign by integrating them directly into the kidney grill for the first time ever in a 5-Series. The front end has a pop-up feature, lifting the hood slightly while driving to improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. To increase performance even further, the exterior is made of lightweight materials, shedding off up to over 220 pounds from its predecessor.

Venturing around the side, beautiful contours encompass the side panels, giving it that athletic look that we love so much all the way up to the iconic Hofmeister kink.

Continuing around the back you'll find a classic rear with stylishly contoured brake lights. The rear of the car displays a sporty, sturdy look to those trailing behind. The 5-Series' performance and agility is obvious after a quick glance at the exterior. Being behind the wheel of this bad boy will give you the confidence you need on the Bay Area roads, and help you live the life style you've always wanted.

Under the Hood

You can't have a car that looks as good as the 5-Series does without the performance to back it up. Of a few engine choices, the one that will maximize performance and driving pleasure is the M550i. This beast under the hood packs a thunderous V8 engine, capable of going from 0-60 in just 4.6 seconds. This blazing fast speed is thanks to 523 horsepower. That's a lot of ponies.

The 5-Series is also a plug-in hybrid, allowing industry leading fuel efficiency and the opportunity to benefit from both electric power and forceful torque. Whether you're taking a joy ride exploring beautiful Northern California, or late to an important business meeting, you won't have to worry about the 5-Series holding you back.

Driver Focused Technology Integration

To complete this ultimate driving machine, we included state of the art technology that vastly enhances the driving experience. This technology not only has safety features that will save your life, it has the add-ons that you've always longed for.

Let's start with the fun stuff. The all-new 5-Series features BMW Connected, allowing you to seamlessly integrate the functions of your smartphone with your vehicle. Connecting automatically through Bluetooth as you enter the car, BMW Connected is your personal mobility companion. As you utilize the responsive touch-screen dashboard monitor, you'll be able to flip through all of the important information such as your calendar, the weather, any notifications, music, and navigation. This feature allows for a fully hands-free driving experience, and even features gesture controls. To help you navigate all of these features, the BMW Voice Assistant possesses the highest level of speech command. Controlling your BMW by voice has never been easier. Leave your smartphone in the wireless charger, and control everything you need with BMW Connected.

We like to switch things up, and we know you do too. That's why instead of only having our 3 core driving modes (Sport, Eco Pro, Comfort), we added another. Adaptive is the newest addition to our driving modes, utilizing intelligent technology for your BMW to learn your driving preferences. Taking in information such as steering wheel movement and velocity, this mode adapts to your personalized driving style allowing the perfect combination between sport and comfort.

But wait, there's more! The advanced technology continues all the way to the key. This key does more than start the ignition, it also features a touch screen display on it. This gives you the ability to benefit from remote control parking, so you can let the car do the work for you while trying to park into a tight garage space. You just press forward or back on the touch screen key, and the car does the rest. There's no need to worry about going too far forward or back, your BMW will automatically stop if it gets too close to something. From the moment you first interact with your 5-Series, the technology is magical.

Inside the vehicle you'll find an interior manufactured at the highest quality. The ambient light package is so comforting while driving, you might not want to get out when you've reached your destination. If it's too relaxing however, we've got you covered and have a preset in place to wake you back up. We wouldn't want your music sounding muffled of course, so we give you the option between two premium sound systems. The choice between Harman Kardon and Bowers & Wilkins isn't an easy one, but you can't really go wrong either way.

In addition to an advanced driving experience, the safety features included give you a sense of security and comfort. The Driving Assistant Plus allows help with things like Steering and Lane Change Assistant, dubbing the 5-Series a semi-autonomous driving car. Also built in is Crossroads Warning, notifying you of a potentially dangerous intersection and stopping the car before it's too late. The Integral Active Steering allows for more handling in action, better steering while changing lanes, and a smaller turn radius. This is due to combining rear wheel steering with the steering angle of the front axle. These driving features keep you safe while allowing amazing, responsive performance.
