subject: Bmw Dealer In Nj Is Excited To Welcome The New 5 Series Touring [print this page] A BMW dealer in NJ feels BMW has struck gold with their newest 5 Series model, the Touring. BMW crossed the front of the 5 Series sedan with a wagon back end, creating a car with the space of a sports utility vehicle that drives like a top notch sedan. Altogether, the engine, combined with superb safety features, interior comfort and exterior class, means the new 5 Series Touring is nothing short of a stroke of genius.
Starting with the most important part of the new BMW, customers will have a choice of four different engines to put under the hood of their Touring. These engines are the 520d (184HP 2.0L diesel), 530d (245HP 3.0L diesel), 523i (204HP 3.0L petrol), and 535i (306HP 3.0L turbo petrol). The 535 twin-turbo engine, thanks to 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, just happens to be the best engine in the BMW line-up. Thus, dont expect just moms and dog lovers to be driving this non-conventional, yet still fully functional wagon.
The appeal of a station wagon is often its easy to access cargo space. The BMW dealer in NJ says the 2010 5 Series Touring does not disappoint in this category. The BMW offers 560 liters of storage space when all seats are up, a 60 liter improvement from the previous model. And in case that just isnt quite enough space for you, BMW has adjusted the back seats so they can be leaned slightly forward thanks to the new Extended Storage feature. This adds an extra 30 liters of space in the trunk area while keeping the back seats fully functional.
Even more impressive, however, is what happens to the storage space when the seats are folded down: a whopping 1,670 liters (59 cubic feet) of space becomes available. The back seat can also be folded in a 40/20/40 ratio. When this feature is combined with the opening rear hatch window, load-leveling suspension, roof rails, and a luggage cover attached to the rear hatch, the possibilities for cargo carrying are endless. Now, what would you like to transport?
The 5-Series wagon also comes with Auto Start/Stop technology, a 5 Series first. This is important because the technology reduces the engine idle period when a short stop is needed, and ultimately increases fuel efficiency. Also available on this wagon are Variable Damper Control, 8-Speed Sport automatic gearbox, and Efficient Dynamics technology. This package includes Brake Energy Regeneration, Active Aerodynamics, low rolling resistance tires, and Electric Power Steering with Integral Active Steering, reducing the space needed for turning.
Altogether, the new 5 Series Touring is an exciting rework of an age-old classic design. Functional seating and the ability to increase cargo space make this sports utility vehicle great for those who need to live with their car, not just drive it. In addition, the sedan style front end and powerful engine, means no compromises of force and handling for Touring drivers. If youre currently a New Jersey BMW 7 Series driver but are looking for a change, the 5 Series Touring is sure to delight your senses and satisfy your needs.
