Is the BMW 5 Series an All-Aluminum Body?
1 Answers
The BMW 5 Series is not an all-aluminum body. The BMW 5 Series uses a standard steel-aluminum hybrid body. The front engine hood, four doors, trunk lid, roof, and fenders of this car are all made of aluminum alloy. The extensions of the A-pillars and B-pillars are made of high-strength steel, while the front and rear bumpers and the side skirts of the body exterior are plastic components. Taking the 2021 BMW 525Li as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized 4-door 5-seater sedan with a body size of 5106mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1500mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3105mm. This car is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 290 Nm.
