What is the weight of the BMW 5 Series in tons?
2 Answers
The weight of the BMW X5 is generally 2.24 tons. The domestic BMW 5 Series car itself weighs 1740KG. Interior of the BMW X5: The interior design feels familiar, but the new BMW X5 uses higher-grade decorative materials. Apart from the driving dashboard, the entire console appears lower, increasing the brightness of the interior space. The central LCD display has been replaced with a large, independently designed thin-screen. At the same time, the new BMW X5 incorporates real wood trim and silver decorative frames. Due to the increased size of the new car, the interior space also appears more spacious, with the rear trunk space increased to 1870 liters. Power of the BMW X5: The entry-level model of the new generation X5 will be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 245 horsepower. Additionally, the new car will also feature 3.0T and 4.4T engines. The engine is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission from ZF.
I've been driving a BMW 5 Series for a while now, and the curb weight typically ranges between 1.6 to 1.9 tons, averaging around 1.8 tons. My own car is a 2019 530i, which feels quite stable to drive due to its heavier weight, making it less prone to floating at high speeds. The exact figures depend on the model and configuration—for instance, the gasoline version is lighter than the diesel, and higher trims with features like a panoramic sunroof or premium audio might add a bit more weight. A heavier car does mean higher fuel consumption, averaging around 10 liters per 100 km in city driving, but the upside is better safety, especially during hard braking. During maintenance, I often notice that the weight affects suspension wear, and over time, wheel bearings can become problematic, requiring regular checks. Considering these details when choosing a car can save a lot of hassle. Overall, as a daily driver, the moderate weight strikes a good balance between comfort and handling.
