Entering the 2006 model year, BMW is continuing its full-scale model
initiative with the same unlimited momentum. The Company is introducing
new models with high-performance and, at the same time, highly
efficient engines in nearly all model series. The range of new models
and features extends from new entry-level engines in the 3 and 5 Series
- the 318i, 318d, and 520d - all the way to the new V8 power units in
the 550i and 650i developing 270 kW/ 367 hp together with muscular
torque of no less than 490 Nm or 361 lb-ft. A further highlight is the
long-wheelbase version of the BMW 7 Series now available for the first
time in the guise of the 730Ld and boasting a very powerful and
economical straight-six diesel. The BMW 745d now has an upgraded engine
with even more power and torque (242 kW/330 hp and, respectively,
750Nm/553 lb-ft). New colours, a wide range of new features and
attractive M sports packages offer the customer an even wider range of
choice in fulfilling his - or her - individual wishes and requests.
BMW's innovative xDrive all-wheel-drive system helps to meet growing
demand for models with all-wheel drive for superior handling and
behaviour on the road. Featured not only in the X3 and X5, xDrive
offers a supreme standard of driving dynamics, traction and active
safety all in one. This technology is featured both in the
all-wheel-drive models of the new 3 Series as well as the BMW 5 Series
now also comprising the 530xd. BMW is widely acknowledged as the
benchmark in diesel engine technology. Indeed, BMW's extremely dynamic
diesel engines excel through their high standard of power and
performance, exemplary running smoothness, and all-round economy. And
now BMW is becoming one of the first manufacturers to offer a
maintenance-and additive-free particle filter throughout almost its
entire range of diesel models. To reflect its status as the leader in
technology, BMW is also introducing BMW Night Vision and BMW High-Beam
Assist, two new driver assistance systems further enhancing active
safety to an even higher standard than before. Additional innovations
now entering series production include special comfort and safety
functions incorporated in BMW's superior DSC Dynamic Stability Control System.
