2008 BMW 5-Series Touring E61
More convincingly than any other car in its class, the BMW 5-Series combines supreme style and presence with sporting power and performance. And now the design, driving experience and superior comfort offered by the 5-Series reach a new standard of perfection. Highly attractive refinements to the exterior and significant, visible and tangible enhancement of style and sophistication in the interior accentuate the sporting, elegant character of the BMW 5-Series Sedan and BMW 5-Series Touring. The premium ambience within the car’s interior is borne out by sophisticated materials, attractive colors and re-designed interior elements and controls.
Power units more muscular than before and with exceptional all-round efficiency raise the line-up of engines in the 5-Series to a higher standard. Benefiting from this kind of power, the BMW 5-Series is entering a new dimension of Efficient Dynamics attributable to a wide range of enhancements on and around the engine for maximum fuel economy and minimum emissions. A particular highlight is BMW’s innovative High Precision Injection direct fuel injection technology featured on the twin turbo straight-six power unit in the 535i models. Other new drivetrain developments are the updated, quick and precise six-speed automatic transmission as well as BMW’s unique optional Automatic Sports Transmission with shift paddles.
Two engine variants on the new BMW 5-Series are available with BMW xDrive permanent and variable all-wheel-drive technology. In this intelligent all-wheel-drive system, optimized control and management electronics ensure spontaneous and precise response to changes in driving conditions.
