Among the new models, the jewel in the crown of the BMW 1-Series, the BMW 130i, offers the most powerful engine ever to appear in a production compact segment car and the world’s lightest six-cylinder petrol engine.
The 3-Series continues to be the benchmark that defines BMW and the new Saloon and Touring models are now even further ahead of their competition than their E46 predecessors. From performance through to day-to-day cost of ownership, the new Touring continues what the saloon has established as segment leader. The new BMW 318d, 318i and 330d Saloons join the very successful 320i, 325i, 330i and 320d models in the 3 Series range.
In the 5-Series range, the V8-powered BMW 540i and 550i are both introduced at the same time as the 367hp 4.8-litre V8 engine also debuts in the 650i Coupé and Convertible. Sport variants of the 6-Series also appear for the first time as a dynamic offer between Standard and the high performance M6 of the range. A new long-wheelbase diesel-powered 7-Series, accompanied with a host of technical innovations for the BMW flagship range, plus new 2.0-litre petrol and 3.0-litre diesel-powered X3 models complete the wave of new product launched by BMW today.
