My Ride: 545i Mystic Blue/Black Leather Type 124 Wheels
Translated by google:
With three new models, revised engines, more equipment as well as new colors and extras the upper middle class of BMW starts well prepared in new model year. The model pallet of the BMWS of ?r row covers 13 sedan and ten starting from autumn 2005 then altogether Touring models, which fulfill all the editions of the European Union 4-Abgasnorm.
All Diesel models are equipped with a maintenance-free particle filter. The product spectrum is enough from the 520d with four-cylinder turbo-Diesel engine (120 kW/163 HP) up to the four-door reinrassigen sports car M5 with V10-Motor (373 kW/507 HP). New model: The 540i sedan with V8-Motor. The driving strength in the 540i is the smaller of the two V8-Triebwerke with VALVETRONIC and double VANOS, which were used for the first time in the spring 2005 in the BMW 7er.
It develops capacity 225 kW/306 HP, which maximum torque of 390 Nm reached with 3,500 min-1 from 4,000 cm?. The new 540i accelerated with the standard six-course hand transmission in 6.2 seconds on 100 km/h, the maximum speed amounts to 250 km/h. Consumption is at 11,0 Liter/100 km in the European Union cycle, a moderate value for a sporty V8-Limousine in this performance class. The equipment corresponds to the BMW 535d.
Topmodell 550i with revised V8-Motor replaces 54?. The V8-Triebwerk of the new 550i has a capacity of 4,799 cm? and carries out 270 kW/367 HP, bullige 490 Nm stands with 3 for,400 min-1 ready. In sporty 5.5 seconds the 550i in the hand switching version reaches the 100 km/h mark, which Sprint of 80 to 120 km/h in the fourth course into straight times 5.2 seconds completed. The maximum speed amounts to for sedan and Touring 250 km/h (abgeregelt). Despite the salient rise of performance data the consumption of the 550i remained approximate with 11,1 Liter/100 km (European Union entire) on the level of the predecessor. At the same time it succeeded to high-gradate the waste gas emission classification according to the US criteria of LEV on ULEV II (EU4 for Europe).
Starting from at the beginning of of 2006 optionally also a six-course automatic transmission with Steptronic is intended. To the basic equipment among other things ABS, DSC with DTC and DBC, flat tyre announcement, to eight Airbags, belongs air conditioning system, electrical window lifters in front and in the back as well as a CD radio. The basic equipment corresponds as far as possible to the BMW 52?. More standards for more ?r. The BMWS more ?r the model year course 2006 are to be recognized among other things by the new iDrive CONTROLLER, which is provided with a black leather employment now.
The trunk flap of the sedan can be opened now also from the driver's seat on push of a button electrically. Over it now more ?r the engine asynchronous operation function holds by depressing the key at the instrument panel the introduction also in. The additional safety and comfort functions of the DSC of the newest generation belong starting from autumn 2005 to the standard of all BMWS ?r (see also chapter 3,7).
New colors, new optics, new equipments. The metal IC external colors Monaco-blue, low-green and Barberarot replace Orientblau, Oxfordgruen and Chiarettarot. The six cylinder models present themselves now with chromium-plated kidney staffs. The standard seats receive the new material Design "Linea". A new wheel Design in the parallel styling gives it for the 18-Zoll-Mischbereifung to the ?r sedan and the normal 18-Zoll-Bereifung of the ?r Touring. ISO-fixed the child seat attachment - inclusive deactivation possibility of the front seat passenger Airbags - gives it now also for the passenger seat. As special equipment in more ?r the comfort entrance is offered, which permits an opening and a closing of the vehicle as well as in connection with the starting/stop key starting and turning the engine off, without having to use the carried key. The optional high beam assistant (see chapter 3,7) increases additionally active security and the control comfort.
For the BMW of ?r Touring the M sport chassis is available as a component of the M of sport package starting from autumn in addition.

Both the BMW 540i and the BMW 550i is in series equipped with a manual six-course transmission. When desired a six-course automatic transmission with Steptronic is available. For the BMW 550i optionally also the six-course mg transmission is offered. The offer of a hand switching version provides thereby an however position for BMW opposite its main competitors. 530d: Smaller consumption despite noticeable achievement increase. The new row six cylinder diesel engine in the BMW 530d (Limousine/Touring) with full aluminum crank case and Common-Rail-3 with Piezo Einspritztechnik works already for spring 2005 in the 7er. With 170 kW/231 HP with 4,000 min-1 and 500 Nm from 1750 to 3,000 min-1 he has the highest power density and the highest torque for Diesel models in the segment of the BMW more ?r. The new engine accelerates the 530d sedan in only 6.8 seconds on 100 km/h, the maximum speed amounts to 250 km/h. Despite the increase in output around 10 kW/13 HP with flatter torque process the fuel consumption could be lowered with identical capacity on 6,7 Liter/100 km in the European Union cycle. The requirements of the EU4-Abgasnorm are fulfilled as with all BMWS of ?r Diesel models with a standard, maintenance-free Diesel particle filter. 530xd Limousine/Touring: First ?r Diesel with all-wheel drive. The new 530xd is the first BMW of ?r Diesels with all-wheel drive.
The BMW all wheel system xDrive provides for outstanding all wheel driving dynamics and Agilitaet. In fractions of a second over an electronically regulated multiple disk clutch the force river between the two axles is optimally distributed. The parameters for the force flow control supply the chassis monitoring system DSC and the motor control xDrive can thereby the drive moment for optimum driving stability and traction between front and rear axle optimally distribute. The 530xd accelerates in only 6.6 seconds on 100 km/h and reaches a maximum speed of 242 km/h. The average consumption in the European Union cycle amounts to 7.6 l/100 km. 520d: Strong four-cylinder Diesel for the BMWS Business Class.
With distance strongest 2.0 litre four-cylinder diesel engine (120 kW/163 HP, 340 Nm) at the market ensures starting from autumn also in the BMW more ?r for particularly efficient dynamics. The 520d sedan with the standard six-course hand transmission accelerates in only 8.6 seconds on 100 km/h and reaches a top speed of 223 km/h.

Starting from autumn 2005 the models of ?r Coup?, ?r Cabrio, 7er sedan, Z4, X3 and X5 with navigation system Professional receive a better readable diagram of the navigation map. With the BMW 7er additionally a 3D-Darstellung with so mentioned "Bird View optics" is possible. For all models specified above as well as the models of the old ?r and ?r row, which were produced starting from September 2002, the improved representation can be up-played within fewer minutes with the dealer by software updates.

My Ride: GONE BUT NOT FOGOTTEN : 530d SE Auto : Titanium Grey / Anthracite Leather, Poplar Trim, 18in 123 Style Alloys, Adaptive Bi-Xenons, Business Nav, Hi-Fi Speaker Package, Heated seats, Split-Fold Rear Seats
LR DISCO 3 HSE with everything (including 3 kids)
Very interesting to note that they do not mention a new 535d engine - I assume that this will also be getting the Au crank-case and piezo injection.

Found this info on another board. It relates to the Canadian market specifically: -
0-100km in 5.6/5.7 sec (6M/6A)
Top Speed 240 km/h
Steptronic starting Sept production
Manual starting Oct prod
New M Sport Pak as described already
New key like 3/7 (see the pics in this topic)
New Comfort Access (keep key in pocket)
All new 5's have start/stop button but only 550 has "Comfort Start"
New DSC (DSC-X)
New Servotronic (power steering)
Lumbar support
Wheels Style 116/124/172M (Base/Sport/M Sport)
New Ext. Colours - Monaco Blue / Barbera Red / Deep Green / Carbon Black
New trim Aluminium Cube Pure (M Sport)
I think the top speed figure is a bit suspect.
