What is the top speed of the BMW 530?
2 Answers
BMW 530 can reach a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour. Introduction to Top Speed: Top speed is a form of speed expression, referring to the total distance an object travels within one hour. The top speed of a car is mainly related to the following three factors: the maximum power of the engine; the air resistance encountered during high-speed driving; and the total transmission ratio of the car's drivetrain. Power Specifications: This car is equipped with a 2.0T high-power turbocharged engine, which has a maximum power of 185 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. In terms of the transmission system, the engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
The top speed of the BMW 530 actually depends heavily on its configuration. For the current G30 generation 530i rear-wheel-drive version, the official top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h, which can indeed be achieved on German autobahns. However, the 530Li long-wheelbase version sold in China is usually factory-limited to 230 km/h. During my test drive, I clearly felt the acceleration being suppressed in the higher speed range. Want to hit the speedometer's maximum? You'll need a long, closed straightaway. The factory-fitted Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 tires provide sufficient grip, but the chassis starts to feel a bit floaty above 220 km/h. Don't ask how I know this—last time at the Yancheng test track, my palms were sweating at 235 km/h.
