BMW 520d EfficientDynamics
Saloon
The BMW 5 Series has proved to be one of the most successful cars in
history with nearly 6,000,000 models sold over the last four
decades. In the process it has defined the executive saloon sector,
offering sporty handling and performance combined with elegance and
luxury.

Now in its
sixth iteration, the BMW 5 Series has upped the ante again by being
offered with a class-leading diesel engine that records some impressive
emissions and fuel consumption figures, while still being able to offer
a driver the behind-the-wheel experience you would expect from the
marque. Not only was the new BMW
5 Series Saloon setting new ground in the sector when it launched in
2010 by being the first to feature Auto Start-Stop, an eight-speed
automatic transmission and a double-wishbone front suspension, but it is
now also capable of a sub 120g/km figure and fuel consumption figure of
62.8mpg.

The BMW Z4 sDrive20i and
BMW sDrive28i
There might be 80 years separating
them but BMW’s first roadster was also a four-cylinder affair –
albeit it with slightly less horsepower, unrecorded emissions and
without the sheer driving dynamics of modern car that now presents
itself. But the 3/15 PA Wartburg Roadster of 1930 was memorable for
some of the design language it started for BMW – namely a setback
glasshouse, front engine rear-wheel-drive configuration with the two
seats positioned close to the rear axle.
The Wartburg Roadster was named
after the castle that towered over the company’s Eisenach plant and
was an open two-seater featuring a folding windscreen, low doors and
an 18bhp 748 cc engine. By comparison the latest roadster from BMW
comes with a choice of four petrol engine variants with the new
sDrive20i and sDrive28i heralding a new entry-level to two-seat
sports car ownership of BMWs for some.

The BMW 6 Series Coupé
Now in its third generation, the new BMW 6 Series Coupé takes the
luxury 2+2 concept a step further by matching enhanced comfort and
elegant design with sporting performance on a even higher level. The
BMW 6 Series Coupé features a sweeping coupé roofline while the long
bonnet, short over-hangs, set-back passenger compartment with
Hofmeister kink, long wheelbase and flat waistline embody the
typical proportions of a BMW coupé more than any other model.
Two exceptional BMW turbocharged
petrol engines and a twin turbocharged diesel powerplant, a newly
developed chassis and a host of class-leading driver assistance
technology ensure that the new BMW 6 Series Coupé is full of
substance, while interior space and comfort have been enhanced.

The BMW 1 Series
The all-new, second generation BMW 1 Series occupies a distinctive
niche within its segment, offering a unique and rewarding
combination of agile, precise handling, improved aesthetics and
innovative technology. It remains the only rear-wheel drive car in
its class and, with a range of advanced TwinPower petrol and diesel
engines, offers a sporty but fuel-efficient proposition boosted by
BMW’s EfficientDynamics technologies fitted as standard.
The previous generation BMW 1
Series has had enormous success selling more than 2.2 million units
globally, as well as being the first car in the premium compact
segment.
The elegant and dynamic styling of
the new BMW 1 Series clothes a car that’s 83mm longer, 14mm wider
and 30mm longer in the wheelbase than its predecessor. These
dimensions create a car with increased cabin dimensions and, thus,
greater interior comfort.
The new BMW 1 Series goes on sale
in the UK on 17 September 2011, with a choice of three diesel and
two petrol engines. Prices start at £19,375 otr for a BMW 116i ES.
