Want to know more about the BMW 5 Series Indonesia? Here we present the BMW 5 Series Latest Review:
If you think this is the same car with which we have tested, then you are not completely wrong. The shape is the same and still carrying code F10, but this car is even more interesting than the power source. The executive sedan carrying the turbo-diesel engine-powered 186 hp, with commonrail direct injection technology. Yes, BMW Indonesia back diesel engine marketing their products in the State Batik beloved.
BMW 520d is the first sedan from BMW Indonesia that carries diesel engine. Although loaded with advanced technology, but the PT. BMW Indonesia stated that the car is sold for less than one billion rupees. Precisely USD 768 million, off the road. Thus, the 520d can be regarded as the entry level model for the BMW 5-Series.
From the exterior is almost no difference. The most distinguishing symbol 520d is embedded in the trunk, but if you hear his voice, then we are aware that this sedan guzzling diesel fuel. Diusungnya diesel engine is the engine with diesel advanced concept, which is claimed to be cleaner, more efficient, but still powerful.
520d engine has a capacity of 1995 cc with a maximum power of 184 hp at 4,000 rpm. And should a diesel car, the torque produced fairly horrendous: 380 Nm at 1750 rpm will appear up to 2,750 rpm. But more interesting is, the resulting CO2 emissions only 137 g / km. This emission is the lowest when compared to other 5-Series fellow who carries the code F10. Even BMW X1 which use the same 1995 cc engine was still emitting 139 g / km.
In addition, fuel consumption is also claimed to use a combination of 19.2 kpl. Unfortunately we did not get to try the route out of the city to the test this time. But we tested it on the right track for testing the fuel in the city: the Old Town area and around North Jakarta in daylight. Traffic congestion in the area resulted in an average fuel consumption of 9.6 kpl. Figures are quite amazing considering the traffic that requires a lot of 'stop and go'.
Well, if you are wondering why the price is cheaper than other 5-Series, then the answer is a feature reduction. At 520d, no sunroof, paddle shift gearbox, even setting the position of the steering was done manually. Although the interior is still using leather that feels quality, seats with electric adjustment, cruise control, and air conditioning is still with dual zone feature. In addition, as 'brother' others, there is also a 7-inch display, as well as the iDrive features.
Features that are part of the BMW EfficientDynamics concept is still maintained, including Brake Energy Regeneration system. Safety features can still be considered qualified by the presence of airbags in front, side, curtain airbags, as well as supporting the stability of the car.
Driving feels almost the same as the 535i. Unfortunately, there is no regulatory dynamics of the chassis (Dynamic Drive) on the 520d. As a result, the suspension can not be adjusted to the rider desires. When we try to go fast, swinging suspension is quite soft. Bumpy road absorbed by the chassis and not feel excessive shock though the tires are used are the type of run-flat tire supplied by Pirelli.
Turbo-diesel engine was quiet and calm despite being forced to accelerate. 8-speed Steptronic transmission now has a ratio of more tightly and make noticeably faster gearshift. Unfortunately there are certain times of transmission was kicked. But on the whole engine and transmission feels good.
As the engine that bears the 'status' Euro3, then the diesel fuel can not be arbitrary. BMW Indonesia recommend Pertamina DEX, Shell Diesel, Diesel Dynamic Petronas and Total Performance is a diesel fuel that is right for this car. In other words, do not queue up in line of subsidized diesel.
