BMW 5 Series VS BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo br BMW 5 Series 2018 VS BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo 2018 br 2018 BMW 5 Series VS 2018 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo br br 2018 BMW 5 Series 530e iPerformance: br Power delivery on a par with a high-displacement combustion engine: The BMW eDrive system's state-of-the-art electric motor has an output of 83 kW113 hp and places maximum torque of 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) on tap, while the four-cylinder combustion engine with its 2.0-litre displacement generates 135 kW184 hp and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque. The combination of motor and engine keeps the CO2 emissions of the BMW 530e iPerformance very low at just 44 gkm. The overall system output of 185 kW252 hp and combined peak torque of 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) propel the BMW 530e iPerformance from 0 to 100 kmh (62 mph) in 6.2 seconds and enable it to reach a top speed of 235 kmh (146 mph). The BMW 530e iPerformance has a range of up to 650 kilometres (404 miles) in real-world driving and is capable of covering distances of up to 50 kilometres (31 miles) purely on electric power at a maximum speed of 140 kmh (87 mph). The electric motor and combustion engine direct their power to the sedan's rear wheels via the standard eight-speed Steptronic transmission. Positioning the electric motor upstream from the transmission allows the transmission's ratios to be used in all-electric mode too. This dispenses with the need for a torque converter, something that goes a long way towards offsetting the weight penalty of the additional drive unit. Unique charging innovations for the high-voltage battery: the BMW Digital Charging Service and BMW Wireless Charging. The high-voltage battery pack consisting of lithium-ion cells with a total capacity of 9.2 kWh has been placed in a space-saving location underneath the rear seat and includes efficient refrigerant cooling with a highly integrated low-temperature circuit. Thanks to the battery's neat installation, the BMW 530e iPerformance offers 410 litres of boot capacity and a flat load compartment floor. The high-voltage battery of the BMW 530e iPerformance can be fully charged in under five hours from a standard domestic power socket and in under three hours if it is hooked up to a BMW i Wallbox (3.7 kW charging capacity)... br br br 2018 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo: br The new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo combines the long-distance comfort of a luxury sedan with the aesthetic appeal of a coupe. Its design embodies a rigorous process of development which has elevated both the functional strengths of this body concept and the car's sense of sporting elegance to new heights. A generously-sized, flexible-use interior, striking looks, supreme ride comfort and a luxurious feeling of space are among the features that made the BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo - the new car's predecessor and the first of its kind - unique. These attributes have been honed to a new level for the new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo and are complemented by stretched proportions, significantly more dynamic lines and a muscular surface treatment. The car's new model designation reflects this progress. "The new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo is geared towards discerning customers who place great importance on individuality. It is an eye-catching statement, packaged into a flowing, sculptural design language which gives the car a modern and sporty feel. The raised seating position ensures an imperious brand of driving pleasure, and the luxurious levels of space provide everything you need for a relaxing journey," says Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. Dynamically stretched proportions are a passport to sporting elegance: An exterior length of 5,091 millimetres (an increase of 87 millimetres on its predecessor), an unchanged width of 1,902 millimetres and a reduction in height of 21 millimetres (to 1,538 millimetres) give the new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo dynamically stretched proportions. In combination with a roofline that flows deep into the rear end, they ensure an elegantly sporty appearance. Thanks to exhaustive optimisation of the cabin's packaging, the interior actually offers greater headroom despite the lower vehicle height. Among the other characteristic features of the new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo are its long bonnet, the set-back positioning of the cabin, a wheelbase of 3,070 millimetres, doors with frameless windows, and a slim window graphic extending well into the rear end...
