Abstract
The BMW Group is once again laying the foundation stone for a new segment in the automotive market with the 5-Series Gran Turismo. It heralds the debut of BMW’s new six-cylinder TVDI spark-ignition engine, which combines turbocharger, fully variable valve system Valvetronic and direct injection for the very first time. The new eight-speed automatic transmission is an ideal complement to this engine. The powertrain design underlines the Gran Turismo character and permits luxurious and comfortable travelling at outstanding economy.
