BMW EfficientDynamics Less emissions. More driving pleasure. Exterior | Driving experience 04 | 05 The 5 Series Sedan has established a reputation for sophistication and powerfully realized ideas, with a sublime exterior designed for motion, and an interior that carries you with sleek comfort. But the real revelation comes when you press the accelerator and feel the horses. The internationally acclaimed inline six-cylinder engines of the 528i and 535i models pull with unprecedented power. And the 550i’s fire-breathing V-8 escalates the driving excitement, especially when it’s equipped with the optional M Sport Package. Revolutionary performance and surpassing style. Above. Beyond. Ahead. Exterior | Driving experience 06 | 07 The 2010 BMW 5 Series engines deliver what you want: power, efficiently. In the 535i and 535i xDrive, a twin-turbocharged inline six with fuelefficient piezo direct fuel injection delivers 300 horses and 300 lb-ft of torque, taking the 535i from 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.1 The 230-hp composite magnesium/aluminum inline six in the 528i models furnishes 200 lb-ft of torque for smooth, quick acceleration. And BMW’s 360-hp 4.8-liter V-8 powers the 550i from 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds.2 1 Manual transmission; 5.7 seconds, STEPTRONIC automatic. BMW AG test results. BMW urges you to obey all posted speed laws and always wear safety belts. 2 Manual transmission; 5.5 seconds, STEPTRONIC automatic. BMW AG test results. BMW urges you to obey all posted speed laws and always wear safety belts. Powerfully moving ideas. Think fast. Exterior | Driving experience 08 | 09 Manual, STEPTRONIC automatic, or Sport Automatic 6-speed transmission? Choice driving. You have your own ideas about driving, which is why, unlike most other automakers, BMW offers a choice of transmissions. Hands-on enthusiasts can select the slick-shifting 6-speed manual, offered standard in the 5 Series. If you’d like the freedom to alternate between Automatic, Sport and clutch-free manual modes, choose the acclaimed STEPTRONIC automatic. For the height of motorsports performance, 535i and 550i drivers can enjoy the best of both worlds with a 6-speed Sport Automatic transmission that features paddle shifters for faster upshifting, downshifting, and throttle blipping. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. Exterior | Driving experience 10 | 11 When it comes to power and response, sometimes less is more. We’ve thought things out. Things that work against efficiency – like excess pounds, and uneven weight distribution – don’t belong in a nimble, responsive, fuel-efficient car. BMW’s lightweight construction starts with an all-aluminum suspension; a front end that incorporates aluminum components; and engines made of materials that are remarkably light in weight, yet able to withstand the stresses of running at high rpms. Sometimes the difference in weight may be small – but when made in a critical area, like an engine part, it can have a major impact in performance. Decreased weight also enhances fuel efficiency. The combined effects of BMW’s lightweight construction and near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution can be felt in the 5 Series’ heightened steering response and agile handling – the very qualities that give it that “BMW feel.” Exterior | Driving experience 12 | 13 Color, upholstery and comfort features are only the beginning. Personalized performance. The BMW 5 Series offers a wealth of choices to personalize your driving enjoyment. Active Steering actually alters your steering ratio as you drive: it’s more direct at lower speeds for tight cornering and enhanced agility, and higher at highway speeds for increased directional stability. Active Roll Stabilization, which is included in the Sport Package, reduces body roll to give you more confidence when cornering. And BMW’s xDrive all-wheeldrive system automatically redistributes power to the wheels with the most traction for a more secure grip on the road in the toughest, slipperiest driving conditions. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. Exterior | Driving experience 14 | 15 Bad situations can happen. But BMW’s Advanced Safety System is engineered to respond quickly and strategically. In mere hundredths of a second after a severe impact, the system deploys an optimal combination of passive safety restraints – such as latch pretensioners, airbags, Advanced Head Protection System airbags, and Active Head Restraints, to help protect against whiplash in case of a rear impact. A host of other protective features also help you during and after an accident. But more importantly, the 5 Series’ active safety features – its quick acceleration, powerful brakes and tight steering – are designed to keep you from knowing any of these features even exist. Safety engineering that’s ready for anything. The best worst-case scenario. Exterior | Driving experience 16 | 17 Active safety features give you a better idea of your surroundings. Remarkable looking technology. The 5 Series inspires confidence by giving you better views of what’s happening on the road. The infrared technology of Night Vision1 helps you see pedestrians or animals in the dark up to 1640 feet ahead. Head-up Display projects essential driving information onto the windshield, helping you keep your eye on the road. Lane Departure Warning feature2 minds your lane-changing manners. And when the ultrasonic sensors of Park Distance Control (PDC) detect you’re getting too close to other cars or anything else while parking, the system beeps with increasing urgency. 1 Under optimal road conditions. Night Vision performance is also limited by rain, fog, humidity and other weather conditions. 2 Requires clearly definable lane markings that are not obscured by rain, snow, etc. Lane Departure Warning feature is not a substitute for the driver’s own responsibility in maintaining safe control of the vehicle. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. Exterior | Driving experience 18 | 19 Award-winning performance that holds up. A truly valuable idea. The 5 Series embodies all that is BMW. Its vibrant styling and formidable power set it apart as a perennial favorite. And the protection of BMW Ultimate Service™1 – a suite of premium warranties and services, including the no-cost BMW Maintenance Program for four years/ 50,000 miles – ensures your fiscal peace of mind.

Many other automotive brands offer powerful engines, advanced electronics and luxurious appointments. So why does BMW continue to stir the blood and the imaginations of automotive enthusiasts worldwide? How can a relatively small automotive company remain America’s number-one choice in luxury autos year after year? Consistently produce one award-winner after another, decade after decade? And remain the benchmark that all others continually aspire to? This feat is possible only by an independent company where ideas are everything. At BMW, we answer to no parent corporation. Our designers and engineers have the freedom to explore the most inventive thinking, unencumbered by layers of management urging them to compromise. Working together from the birth of a concept to its appearance in BMW showrooms, they are free to pursue their goal: to make sure great ideas live on to become Ultimate Driving Machines.® BMW EfficientDynamics 28 | 29 This is how much has gone in. And this is what comes out. At BMW, we create dynamic vehicles that thrill you with quick acceleration, predictable handling and unshakable control. We are also busy finding ways to sustain this level of performance while incorporating innovative fuels and technologies to help preserve the environment. This is what we refer to as “EfficientDynamics.” This goal has led to the visionary CleanEnergy hydrogen-powered engine, which is currently used in the BMW Hydrogen 7 Sedan. BMW Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance, which offers diesel power with quick acceleration, increased fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, was introduced to the U.S. in early 2009. In fact, every BMW on the road today comes standard with technology that boosts performance while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Double-VANOS VANOS is BMW’s valve timing system that can “steplessly” vary the points in the combustion cycle when valves open and close. Double-VANOS refers to the fact that it operates on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. Electronically controlled in response to engine speed, load and temperature, VANOS reduces emissions, and enhances low- to mediumspeed torque, as well as fuel efficiency. Valvetronic Instead of using a traditional throttle, Valvetronic technology in the 528i and 550i lets the engine breathe more easily by varying the lift height of the valves to regulate air intake. The result: improved cold starts, smoother running, and a significant drop in fuel consumption. Using revolutionary technology such as this, BMW has improved its overall average fuel economy more than any other manufacturer. Efficient transmissions The 5 Series Sedan offers a choice of three 6-speed transmissions: a smooth-shifting manual, and two fuel-efficient automatics – the STEPTRONIC automatic and the Sport Automatic. Lightweight construction Our engineers use lightweight aluminum throughout our vehicles – in the front section, for example, or for the suspension. BMW’s inline six-cylinder twin-turbo engine is all aluminum; the naturally aspirated inline six is an aluminum/magnesium composite – the lightest in its class. Taken together, these weight savings lead to lower fuel consumption and better axle load distribution for more agility – especially in curves. BMW models have low CO2 emissions today. But that’s just for starters. We’re carrying on our research in the quest to bring you greater driving pleasure, with fewer emissions and decreased fuel consumption. Twin-turbocharged engine Benefiting from BMW’s twin-turbocharging technology, the 300-hp 535i delivers quick acceleration without any “turbo-lag.” Fuel economy is strong, as well, thanks to precise piezo direct fuel injection. BMW EfficientDynamics Less emissions. More driving pleasure. Engines 30 | 31 354.0 322 324.5 295 295.0 268 265.5 241 236.0 215 206.5 188 177.0 161 147.5 134 118.0 107 88.5 Power output (horsepower) Torque (lb-ft) Torque (lb-ft) 80 59.0 53 Power output (horsepower) 29.5 26 0 0 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 Engine speed (rpm) Fast buildup of pressure: the two parallel turbochargers (shown in blue) make a key contribution to the outstanding responsiveness of the 535i models’ inline six-cylinder engine. Portrait of a masterpiece: the 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine produces 300 horsepower at 5800 rpm, and quickly develops 300 lb-ft of torque at 1400 rpm, which continues without fading through to the 5000 rpm range. With such a broad range of powerful torque, you can enjoy smooth, robust acceleration in any gear, at any speed. Ideas that drive better engine design. Like sheer power and torque. Decreased 0-60 times. Improved efficiency. Engines are our passion. That’s why a BMW engine does not just deliver power and performance – it does so with smoothness and efficiency. Our ongoing challenge: to improve each of these characteristics with the introduction of every engine. And in the 5 Series, we have definitely achieved this goal. Beneath the long hoods of the 5 Series Sedans lie three of the world’s most sophisticated engines. Generating 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, the revolutionary twin-turbo (shown at left) in the 535i and 535i xDrive accelerates with a force that throws you back in your seat and doesn’t stop until redline. Turbo lag is a thing of the past. Thanks to BMW’s inspired use of two turbochargers, all you experience is strong, quick acceleration on demand, with the 535i reaching 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds.1 BMW engineers have also overcome the traditionally poor gas mileage of turbocharging. By using a high-precision piezo fuel-injection system, every ounce of fuel is maximized. The lightweight aluminum engine block, extra-light camshafts, and BMW’s DoubleVANOS technology further enhance its smooth power delivery and lowered emissions. And with the engine’s inline configuration, it runs with a smoothness not possible in a V-6. Hit the accelerator of the 528i, and in 6.5 seconds,2 you’ve reached 60 mph, thanks to its potent 230-horsepower engine. The lightweight composite magnesium/aluminum engine block adds to the spirited acceleration and nimble handling of both the 528i and 528i xDrive. And with 200 lb-ft of torque, the power pours on early and strong, and continues throughout the powerband. BMW EfficientDynamics Less emissions. More driving pleasure. Refined power and unmatched performance: the hallmark of the 550i Sedan, courtesy of its mighty 4.8-liter V-8 powerplant that produces 360 horsepower at 6300 rpm and 360 lb-ft of torque at just 3400 rpm. Another power-increasing feature is a two-stage intake manifold that provides two different intake lengths: one for low to medium speeds, and the other for high engine speeds. In the 528i models and 550i, BMW’s revolutionary Valvetronic electronic valve control system provides fully variable valve lift control to help the engine “breathe” more easily. You enjoy greater power, higher torque, quicker engine response, a smoother idle, and optimized fuel efficiency. Another inspired technology incorporated into all BMW engines is Double-VANOS, an engine management system that allows the engine to “steplessly” choose the valve timings for both intake and exhaust camshafts. The 2010 5 Series channels power through a choice of 6-speed transmissions: the smooth-shifting manual transmission; the STEPTRONIC automatic, with its ergonomically designed electronic shift knob; and the Sport Automatic, with both a different gear shifter and shift paddles on the steering wheel, available in the 535i and 550i. 1 Manual transmission; 5.7 seconds, STEPTRONIC automatic.

BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system takes all-road traction to new heights, while maintaining the 5 Series’ legendary agility. On smooth, dry roads, the 528i xDrive and 535i xDrive have the feel of their rear-wheel-drive counterparts. But hit a wet uphill curve, for instance, and even before wheelspin can occur, the xDrive all-wheel-drive system immediately recognizes any need for a change in power distribution. Almost instantaneously, xDrive can send more torque to the front axle in order to achieve optimal stability. Should one wheel on an axle spin faster than the other, the brakes automatically engage, as needed, to bring all wheels back in sync. At any given moment, xDrive is working hard, shifting drive power, reducing over- or understeer, enhancing agility, and providing the best possible traction. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. Hill Descent Control (HDC) in the xDrive models helps you drive down steep hills without having to ride the brake. Simply press the HDC button and the vehicle’s speed is kept under control automatically. By using readings from the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) sensors and the gas pedal, BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system continually monitors the vehicle’s driving condition. This data is then used to vary power distribution between the two axles, ensuring agile, neutral and forgiving handling at all times. Active Steering | Active Roll Stabilization | Lane Departure Warning feature 34 | 35 BMW Active Steering: The idea is better handling and stability, whatever your speed. On the level: Active Roll Stabilization does you a good turn. A convenient way to avoid inconvenient surprises. BMW’s innovative Active Steering enhances the driving experience by varying the steering ratio based on vehicle speed. When driving quickly around a corner, the laws of physics dictate that a vehicle will lean away from the curve. Active Roll Stabilization is an active suspension control system designed to reduce body roll, or lean, in cornering. BMW’s Lane Departure Warning feature1 alerts the driver during an improper lane-changing maneuver. Invaluable when driving long distances – especially at night, when drowsiness can set in – the system uses a camera to detect painted lines in the road. Whenever you change lanes or drift across the roadway without first using your directional signal, the system discreetly vibrates the steering wheel. At low and medium speeds, the steering is more direct. The car is more agile and nimble, especially on twisty roads. As you increase speed, the steering ratio gradually changes, providing greater directional stability. Active Steering is a feature you’ll thoroughly enjoy at any speed. If you wanted to turn the front wheels two degrees, for example, at 60 mph you would need to turn the steering wheel more than you would at 25 mph. This helps make both highway lane changes and tricky parking maneuvers far easier. The core element of the Active Steering system in the BMW 5 Series is a planetary gear set integrated into the steering column. This enables an electric motor to decrease or increase the steering angle in relation to vehicle speed. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. 1 Lane Departure Warning feature requires clearly definable lane markings that are not obscured by rain, snow, etc., and is not a substitute for the driver’s own responsibility in maintaining safe control of the vehicle. Without Active Roll Stabilization With Active Roll Stabilization Greater agility at low and medium speeds: A small turn of the steering wheel translates into a big turn of the front wheels. At higher speeds, greater stability: A bigger turn of the steering wheel is needed to turn the front wheels. The Lane Departure Warning feature vibrates the steering wheel when your BMW crosses a line without first signaling. iDrive 36 | 37 Rotating the Controller allows you to scroll through the vertically listed menu items.

BMW Head-up Display. Taking your eyes off the road – even if it’s only to quickly check the speedometer – can be distracting. That’s why BMW instrumentation is designed to give you important driving information at a glance. Taking this convenience one step further, BMW offers Head-up Display, which projects important travel data onto the windshield. Stay informed of everything, from your speed to Check Control warnings, while concentrating on the road. Use the Head-up Display to view directional arrows We envisioned a new way of seeing 500 yards ahead on an unlit road. from the Navigation system, and check the Lane Departure Warning system and Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go feature. The display is designed to appear along your line of sight, so you can navigate traffic while staying informed. You can also adjust the display for brightness, or turn it off. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. Night Vision is BMW’s amazing system that helps detect pedestrians or animals in the dark – up to 1640 feet1 ahead. Using long-distance infrared technology and a camera mounted on the front of the vehicle, potential road hazards are displayed on the Navigation system monitor, helping you notice them well before they are visible to the naked eye. If you drive along poorly lit roads, this feature will make night driving far more pleasurable and minimize your worries. 1 Under optimal road conditions. Night Vision performance is also limited by rain, fog, humidity and other weather conditions. BMW’s Head-up Display projects driving-related information directly in your line of sight, so you can concentrate fully on the road ahead. Adaptive Headlights create cones of light that follow the direction of the headlights. Cornering Lights illuminate the side of the road when turning, helping to reveal obstacles, cyclists and pedestrians. Xenon low beams provide improved illumination of the road, while Corona headlightrings act as parking lights. High beams increase the range of visibility. High-beam Assistant turns them on when needed, then off. See nighttime driving in a new light. The 5 Series headlight cluster assists the driver in many ways. Low- and high-beam Xenon headlights illuminate the road ahead with near-daylight brilliance and clarity; an auto-leveling feature helps keep headlight glare out of the eyes of oncoming drivers. The Adaptive Headlights feature automatically swivels the lights to follow the curves of the road, using data from on-board sensors and the steering wheel angle to determine the vehicle’s direction. Give your right foot a break in traffic jams. Distinctive Corona headlight-rings circle the low beams, and also act as parking lights. Cornering Lights illuminate the side of the road up to 90 degrees, while a new option, High-beam Assistant, automatically turns high beams on or off, as needed. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. Few things can put a damper on the joy of driving like stop-and-go traffic. But Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go,1 lets you put an end to the endless shuffle between the accelerator and brake pedal. When you engage Active Cruise Control, it keeps you at your desired preset speed; when you encounter slower-moving vehicles, it slows you down to maintain a preset distance. The Stop & Go feature goes one step further by bringing your BMW to a complete stop if traffic calls for it. Then, when you press the accelerator, Active Cruise Control accelerates your vehicle until it reaches a speed to maintain your preset following distance – or, if the road ahead is clear, your preset speed. 1 Active Cruise Control is not a substitute for the driver’s own responsibility in adjusting speed and otherwise controlling the vehicle. After evaluating road, traffic and visibility conditions, the driver must determine whether and how the system is used. Safety features 44 | 45 Smart braking features designed to give you a driving edge. Passive safety features that are always on active duty. The hallmark of a BMW – the quality that sets it apart from other makes – is the intuitive connection it forms with the driver. A BMW’s remarkably responsive performance infuses every mile with driving pleasure. Just as important, it helps you brake and maneuver around potentially dangerous traffic situations, a feature referred to as “active safety.” Not all collisions can be avoided. That’s why every BMW is designed to help minimize the impact on you, your passengers, and those around you. Take, for example, the large ventilated anti-lock brakes. On the 535i, 535i xDrive and 550i models, the 13.7" front/13.6" rear brakes deliver sports-car-caliber stopping. All 5 Series Sedans enjoy the enhanced braking capabilities of BMW’s Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system: 1-Brake Stand-by: When you suddenly remove your foot from the throttle, the system anticipates you’re going to stop quickly. It pretenses the brake calipers for quicker action when you step on the brake pedal. 2-Brake Drying: When a sensor detects that it is raining, it reacts by periodically bringing the brake pads into contact with the rotors just enough to eliminate the accumulated moisture and help dry them. 3-Start-off Assistant: The system helps prevent your vehicle from rolling backwards when you’re stopped on a hill. It even holds your car momentarily when you release the brake to start moving again. 4-Brake Fade Compensation: Brakes heat up due to continuous or repeated braking (like when you’re descending a winding mountain road), so the same pedal action results in less braking power. The system senses and compensates for this by applying the brakes with more force while using the same pedal pressure. A BMW’s protection starts with its extremely rigid body. At speeds up to nine mph, impacts are absorbed by bumpers and compressible crush tubes front and rear. At higher speeds, the body is designed to deform in a predetermined pattern, routing impact energy around the passenger cell. The 5 Series is equipped with BMW’s Advanced Safety System. During a crash, various sensors assess the situation and determine the best deployment strategy for safety restraints throughout the vehicle. The system helps provide the most effective and efficient use of devices, such as front-impact airbags and front-door-mounted side-impact airbags. During side-impact collisions, BMW’s awardwinning Head Protection System (HPS) helps cushion and shield front and rear passengers’ heads. Optional rear-seat side-impact airbags are also available. Whenever the 5 Series is involved in a serious accident, the BMW Assist™ system automatically transmits your vehicle’s location to a response specialist, who then speaks with you.1 Even if you cannot respond, they coordinate the dispatch of emergency services. And after any severe impact, a BMW’s hazard lights flash, the interior lights come on and the doors unlock to allow emergency assistance. 1 For details on BMW Assist Safety and Convenience Services, see page 74 or visit bmwassist.com. Under the surface of the 5 Series Sedan is a comprehensive array of passive safety features. The extremely rigid body routes impact forces around the passenger cell. In the event of a side impact, the interlocking door anchoring system offers added protection. Not shown: A full complement of airbags – four in front, optional side-impact airbags at the rear – includes Head Protection System, which helps cushion and protect the heads of occupants seated by the doors. Please note: Depending upon the type of accident, none, some or all airbags may deploy. Interior trims | Combinations 48 | 49 Recommended color combinations Leatherette1 Materials Dakota Leather 2 Beige Black Cream Beige Gray Natural Brown Black 300 Alpine White Non-metallic p p p p p p 668 Jet Black Non-metallic p p p p p p Upholstery colors3 Exterior color 4 354 Titanium Silver Metallic p p p A68 Platinum Gray Metallic p p p A52 Space Gray Metallic p p p A53 Platinum Bronze Metallic 5 p p p p p p A76 Deep Sea Blue Metallic p p p p p p A35 Monaco Blue Metallic 5 p p p p p p A43 Deep Green Metallic 5 p p p p p p p p p p p p p p 416 Carbon Black Metallic6 475 Black Sapphire Metallic 5 p p Interior trims 438 Dark Poplar Wood7 437 Light Poplar Wood8 4BY Bamboo Anthracite Wood8 4MS Pentan Aluminum 9 1 Standard in 528i, 528i xDrive, 535i, 535i xDrive. 2 Standard in 550i; optional in 528i, 528i xDrive, 535i, 535i xDrive and included in Premium Package.

Benefit from innovative solutions combining unique ideas, stunning design and supreme functionality. Discover the wide range of Original BMW Accessories s/o Xenon Adaptive Headlights automatically swivel to follow the curves of the road. The system uses data from on-board sensors and the steering wheel angle to determine the car’s direction, then adjusts the headlights accordingly. The system offers outstanding nighttime visibility. s In the event of a collision, BMW’s Advanced Safety System determines which airbags to deploy. These include driver’s and passenger’s front airbags with advanced technology; frontdoor-mounted side-impact airbags; and HPS (Head Protection System), which is designed to help protect passengers in both front and rear compartments. Rear-seat side-impact airbags are available as an option.1 s Tire Pressure Monitor is an electronic control system designed to warn the driver if there is a sudden and irregular loss of tire pressure. Should the target pressure of a tire fall below 25%, a warning light alerts the driver. s Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) helps to stabilize the 5 Series Sedan in just milliseconds when it senses an impending skid. If the system senses over- or understeer, it modulates engine power and can apply brakes individually 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. s Impact-absorbing bumpers and compressible “crush tubes” front and rear help absorb the force of impact in collisions up to nine mph, minimizing damage to the vehicle’s body and simplifying repairs. Only at higher impact speeds do structural supports begin to deform, dissipating impact energy to help protect occupants. s BMW restraint system for the driver and front passenger combines three-point safety belts, automatic safety-belt pretensioners, and head restraints. This system helps provide optimum restraint in a collision. s Battery Safety Terminal, in a serious collision, disconnects the starter cable from the battery in milliseconds, minimizing the risk of an electrical fire. Additionally, the fuel supply is automatically cut off. However, warning flashers, interior lights and power windows remain connected. s xDrive is BMW’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system. xDrive continually monitors the vehicle’s driving condition by using readings from the Dynamic Stability Control sensors and the gas pedal. This data is then used to vary power distribution between the front and rear axles, ensuring agile, neutral and forgiving handling. (528i xDrive and 535i xDrive only) s Hill Descent Control (HDC) helps the models with xDrive drive down steep hills without having to “ride the brake.” By pressing the HDC button, the system keeps their speed under control automatically. 1 Please note: These pictures of airbags are for illustrative purposes only.

This data is automatically transmitted to your BMW center, which will then call you to schedule a service appointment. You don’t have to keep track of when your car requires routine maintenance.

BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. It is important to manage the earth’s resources responsibly, and not jeopardize the needs of future generations. That is why BMW makes vehicles that minimize adverse environmental impact, from production (pollution prevention and waste minimization at the plant) through owner use (low emissions) to eventual disposal (easy drainability of all fluid-related components and easy neutralization of all pyrotechnic devices). This effort has been recognized worldwide and, as a result, we are pleased to have received numerous environmental honors. In the U.S., for example, the Environmental Protection Agency accepted BMW’s Spartanburg, SC production and manufacturing facility as a charter member of the agency’s National Environmental Performance Track. Internationally, BMW AG – the parent company of both BMW of North America and BMW Manufacturing Co., Spartanburg, SC – was the first automotive company to be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index, and has remained on the Index ever since. At BMW, we strive for high performance in everything we do. U.S. Importer: BMW of North America, LLC, Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677.
