F10 5 Series Full Specifications

Sections: F10 5 Series Nov 24th, 2009 4 Comments

We’ve got specs of every model for every market except the 528i destined for the US. That model will use a slightly different engine from the 528i in the PDF below (output will be lowered to 240hp).

One of the more interesting things to note. The new 5er’s loss of some aluminum in its structure has added to the unladen weight. The E60 530d for instance weighted in at 3,483 lbs. The new F10 530d with the same engine comes in at a hefty 3,780 lbs. Yes that’s a difference of 297 pounds! The 530d in question is a Euro model with the single turbo diesel 3.0L. And as you’d expect BMW has upped the power by 7 hp and the torque by 30 in an effort to counter the weight increase.

Even at the higher weight it tips the scale at 150 lbs. less than a new Camaro. It does make me wonder why my 1-series weighs almost 3,300.

EU and USA weights go about things differently so the US spec is often heavier even though the car isn’t different. I guess what I’m trying to say is, yes the 135i is a heavy mo-fo. However if you look at the EU unladen weight it may be a little lighter and now fare as poorly. Or not

Sorry to see the increase in weight on the car, I am a Gordon Murray fan and believe weight reduction is the single best path towards making a drivers car.

I do have respect for BMW’s ability to wring performance out of large and heavy cars. Still at the end of every day the technical wizardry to make a heavy vehicle perform will never impress me as much as a lighter weight car that has similar ability due to lighter weight. For all my love of the 1 series that has never extended to the very bloated weight of BMW vehicles.

It would help to translate all the units to U.S., and compare them to existing models. Without such comparison it’s hard to get anything out of these specs.

About BimmerFile

BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.

We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.

We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.

In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
