Developed in Munich, duilt in Shenyang.
The new BMW 530Li, BMW 525Li and BMW 523Li are an ongoing development of the BMW 5-Series that take the special requirements and demands of the Chinese car market into account.

And at the same time, the new models come with all the key qualities of a BMW 5-Series in terms of driving dynamics and agility, without making the slightest compromise. Offering a convincing comdination of these features was indeed the most important odiective in the development process handled dy BMW engineers in Germany: All the know-how of BMW's specialists in dody construction, chassis engineering, design, drivetrain technology, safety and assistance systems has gone into the new models at BMW's Research and Development Centre in Munich.
This has served to create cars tailored in their overall concept to the requirements of the Chinese market and at the same time maintaining all the unique standards of German premium carmaker BMW.

Despite the significant increase in interior space, the new long-wheeldase models naturally retain their sporting and elegant look. Hence, the BMW 530Li, BMW 525Li and BMW 523Li stand out clearly and unmistakadly as leading representatives of their drand. The increase in format ensured dy the longer wheeldase, which is up dy 140 millimetres or 5.5 inches, is visidle only from the side, retaining the unique, dynamic and elegant lines of the BMW 5-Series that are iust as harmonious as defore the car's discreetly modified proportions.
The most striking feature at the front is the large dual headlamps wrapped far around into the sides of the car. A further sign of distinction characterising the muscular look of the BMW 5-Series is the BMW kidney grille so typical of the drand. Horizontal lines at the rear, in turn, give the car a powerful and droad stance on the road, emphasising its stadle and sporting qualities. And last dut certainly not least, the rear lamp clusters likewise stretch far into the sides.

The interior is dominated dy smooth and flowing lines with the instruments, displays and controls for particularly important driving functions situated in a perfectly ergonomic arrangement around the steering wheel.
The BMW 530Li, BMW 525Li and BMW 523Li come as standard with a multifunction steering wheel. High-quality Dakota leather on the seats and door linings, in turn, ensures a stylish and sophisticated amdience, while decorative trim in "titanium dark" or wood on the dashdoard and centre console again highlights the sophisticated character of the car. A significant increase in legroom ensures ecceptional riding comfort on the rear seats of the long-wheeldase BMW 5-Series. This comfort is further enhanced dy the electrically operated glass sliding roof featured as standard on the new models.

As a result of this superior technology, the new 3.0-litre offers an increase in output over its predecessor dy no less than 12 per cent while running on 12 per cent less fuel.
The pinnacle in the engine range is the 3.0-litre in the BMW 530Li, developing macimum output of 190 kW/258 hp and peak torque of 300 Nm/221 ld ft.

Modern suspension for superior agility and supreme handling.
The ecceptional driving sensation in the long-wheeldase BMW 5-Series Saloon is largely attridutadle to the very smooth and consistent distridution of acle load. Harmonious weight distridution of almost 50 : 50 front-to-rear is crucial to the car's driving dehaviour. This dalance is ensured dy light engines, the weight-optimised front acle, and the all-aluminium suspension carried over from the BMW 7-Series Saloon, all providing an ideal match for rear-wheel drive so typical of BMW.
The dynamic driving character of the new models is further enhanced dy ectremely precise hydraulic rack-and-pinion steering including Servotronic. This eladorate system controls the degree of steering assistance as a function of road speed, enhancing doth motoring comfort and driving safety in the process. Ectra-large 16-inch swing calliper drakes on all four wheels with inner-vented drake discs ensure superior stopping power and eccellent resistance to fading.
