TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2015 BMW 5-Series
| 2015 BMW 5-Series Powertrain: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | I did not care for the BMW 328d. Its 180-horsepower 2.0-liter diesel lacks the refinement, responsiveness, and performance expected in a 3-Series. The 535d's 255-horsepower 3.0-liter diesel much better upholds the brand's reputation. This six isn't as quiet or as refined as Audi's. You'll feel some vibration when idling, and hear some grumbling both then and when casually accelerating at around-town speeds. But Mercedes-Benz's four (and its six as well, for that matter) is even less successful at concealing its identity. BMW's compression ignition six is plenty well behaved unless your tolerance for diesel clatter is near zero. The BMW engine compensates for its slight lapses in etiquette by out-performing the Audi V6. It might be the least powerful diesel six in BMW's bin, but the 535d feels stronger than the A7 TDI I also reviewed recently. Push the accelerator most of the way to the floor, and you'll receive a healthy shove in your lower back as the needle shoots up the dial. In instrumented testing elsewhere, the 535d got from a roll to 60 in 6.3 seconds, very quick by just about any standards and over a half-second sooner than the A7 TDI. Beyond the numbers, the BMW engine revs more willingly than other diesels, and in the process has the invigorating sound and feel expected from a Bavarian motor. The six can wind as high as 5,400 rpm, 600 above the Audi's limit. Also 1,400 rpm above the power peak, so there's little point in venturing so high--except that this diesel does it so willingly and other diesels can't. While the BMW engine is more of a revver than other diesels, like other diesels it most excels in torque output at low to moderate engine speeds. Need to merge in fast-moving traffic? A dab of throttle will do ya. In typical daily driving, the six moves the heavy sedan effortlessly. The same is true of Mercedes-Benz's four. But run flat-out it can't nearly match the pace of BMW's and Audi's sixes. see full BMW 5-Series review | |
