Newbold BMW Offers 2012 BMW 5 Series

Online, July 18, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Newbold BMW in O'Fallon, IL is pleased to announce that they have new 2012 BMW 5 Series vehicles currently available. The BMW 5 Series line-up of vehicles presents a top choice in the midsize luxury sedan segment. The 5 Series offers capable handling, top safety scores, turbocharged engines, and plenty of high-tech features. The 5 Series is offered in both Sedan and Gran Turismo models.

The 2012 BMW 5 Series Sedan was named an IIHS Top Safety Pick, which means it received top scores in crash tests. Additional safety features include a heads-up display, active cruise control, passive safety features (which includes the ConnectedDrive system automatically calling the BMW Call Center in the event of an accident), active blind spot detection, and BMW Night Vision (which detects approaching danger outside the range of the headlights).

On the 5 Series Sedans, there are 3 options for engines: a 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder, and 8-cylinder. The 4-cylinder engine is new for the 2012 model year. It actually offers the same horsepower (240) as the previous model year's inline-6, along with 255 pound-feet of torque (30 more than the previous year). This actually provides quicker acceleration and can achieve up to 23 mpg city and 34 mpg highway.

The new 2012 Gran Turismo models offer a more spacious and comfortable ride than previous model years. Dakota leather upholstery and trim come standard on the 535i models. Also standard are front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, multi-contour power front seats, and a navigation system with a larger iDrive screen.
