The 5 Series Touring is offered in two models. The entry-level 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel 520d Touring priced at $92,800. While the high-performance, 3-litre TwinPower Turbo straight six cylinder petrol engine – the top-of-the-range 535i Touring – is priced from $138,900.
Both models feature an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard. In the case of the 535i Touring, this takes the form of an eight-speed sports automatic transmission.
“With the longest wheelbase in its class measuring 2968mm and an overall length of 4907mm, the BMW 5 Series Touring offers a vast amount of interior space with flexible seating for five occupants and a large carpeted rear luggage space,” BMW claims.
In order to offer versatility in its carrying capacity, the rear seat back splits and folds individually in three 40/20/40 sections providing a luggage capacity that ranges from 560 litres to 1670 litres.
The rear seat backs can also be adjusted through 11 degrees in seven separate increments, which increases luggage capacity by 30 litres. While the rear tailgate with its low-loading sill offers a separately opening rear window to allow quick and easy access to the luggage compartment.
The window and tailgate can both be opened using the remote control and on the 535i Touring, the tailgate is fully electrically operated.
The 5 Series Touring is available in Black or Alpine White or a choice of 11 other metallic exterior colours (non-cost option for 535i).
Inside, the leather interior upholstery is offered in a choice of six colours, with the optional Nappa leather with extended contents available in a choice of Black or Oyster/Black.
