The 2015 BMW 5 Series is equipped with a 3.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 225 kW at 5,800 to 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 400 N·m at 1,200 to 5,000 rpm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 2015 BMW 5 Series is a mid-to-large-sized 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 5,055 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width, and 1,491 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3,108 mm. It features rear-wheel drive, with a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I've been driving a 2015 BMW 5 Series 520i for several years. That model is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, codenamed N20B20, delivering a maximum power of 184 horsepower. It offers smooth power delivery in urban driving, with fuel consumption controlled around 9L, making it quite suitable for daily commuting. One thing to note is that this engine can be a bit noisy during cold starts in winter, but overall it's reliable. Remember to change the oil regularly to avoid carbon buildup issues. BMW's engine designs lean towards a sporty feel, with quick acceleration response, making long-distance driving fatigue-free. If you opt for the diesel version, the 520d, it comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine N47D20, with fuel consumption as low as 6L, but slightly noisier. Overall, the 2015 model offers a variety of engine choices, and it's quite enjoyable to drive on the road.
