The new BMW 5 Series sedan will make its debut in the Middle East with one eight-cylinder and three six-cylinder petrol engines offering outstanding performance, said a statement.

The new BMW 5 Series has been designed around BMW's successful Efficient Dynamics strategy that encompasses many technology innovations.

Some of the wide range of sophisticated driving and comfort features offered in the new BMW 5 Series include dynamic drive control with three modes: comfort, normal, sport and sport +;  comfort start; head-up display;   multi-channel audio system, rear seat entertainment;  four-zone automatic air conditioning, BMW iDrive control and parking assistant.

“The 5 Series is one of our best selling models in the Middle East, so we are looking forward to launching this new model early in 2010,” said Phil Horton, managing director of BMW Group Middle East.

“It is a totally different car from its predecessor in terms of design, comfort, technology and engineering, so we are confident that it's going to be well received and help us maintain our position at the forefront industry trends,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
