The new BMW 5 series sedan is now available in Bangladesh, BMW Asia and Executive Motors Limited announced on Tuesday.

Director of Operations M Shamsul Arefeen said the BMW 5 series has been the world’s most successful premium executive model by far, for many years running.

The BMW 530e plug-in hybrid electric sedan is a particularly sporty, efficient and progressive addition to the premium end of the executive class, reads a press release.

He further added that more than 600,000 units of the BMW 5 series have now been sold worldwide since the current generation was launched.

The series starts at Tk1.18 crore with five years of free parts and service warranty up to 60,000 km. The car is now available for viewing and test drives at Executive Motors Limited.

The New BMW 5 series sedan is produced at the BMW plant in Germany.

This new design contains BMW’s patented kidney grille and full LED headlights.

The headlights are seamlessly connected with the kidney grille and presence that is maintained through to the free-form tailpipes in the rear apron.

Additionally, the car contains L-shaped daytime driving lights and a trapezoidal tailpipe.

Another new feature is the live cockpit professional 10.25-inch display. Apart from this, the buyer can choose the 12.3-inch display as an option.

This live cockpit professional display has newly designed controls on the centre console. The standard sports leather steering wheel with newly arranged multifunction buttons headline an interior brimming with detail refinements.

Standard equipment for the new BMW 5 series now also includes automatic climate control with extended features.

The new BMW 530e sedan combines the latest-generation eDrive technology with a four-cylinder petrol engine. The newly improved 184 horsepower four-cylinder petrol engine is partnered by an electric drive unit — producing a maximum output of 80 kW/109 hp — that is integrated into the eight-speed Steptronic transmission.

The Parking Assistant Plus package takes over control of the accelerator, brakes, steering, and gearshifts. 

The package also features Park View, Panorama View and 3D Top View — these combine to create a 360° image of the vehicle and its surroundings from different perspectives in the Control Display.

The innovative Reversing Assistant is an extremely convenient option to reverse the vehicle for distances up to 50 metres by steering it along automatically.

The Advanced Smartphone Integration Enhanced system hosts Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly, allowing drivers to access a large number of digital services from the car in the same way as on a smartphone.
