Today you can watch videos of both the new BMW 535i and BMW 530d from the Lisbon presentation. The 2011 BMW 5-Series is based on a all-new architecture also featured in the 5-Series GT as well as the 7 Series luxury sedan.
The 2011 BMW 530d is powered by a 3.0-liter turbo diesel with 245hp and 540Nm of peak torque that propels the car from standstill to 100km/h in 6.3 seconds and on to an electronically-limited top speed of 250km/h.
BMW claims that the 530d model returns a combined fuel economy in the EU cycle of 6.3lt/100km or 37.3 mpg US.
The new 535i gets a new 3.0-liter straight-six with a single, twin-scroll turbocharger pushing out 306HP and 400Nm of torque for a zero to 100km/h sprint time of 6.0 seconds and an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h or 155mph.
The petrol model returns a combined fuel economy of 8.5lt/100km or 27.7mpg US.
In Europe, the 2011 BMW 5-Series will also be available with two more diesels, a 184HP 2.0-liter 4-cylinder unit (520d) and a 204HP 3.0-liter inline six (525d) as well as three more petrol engines.
