By George Skentzos |

BMW Australia has announced the introduction of several key technology features as standard equipment on all new 5 Series models at no extra cost.

For the first time all BMW 5 Series vehicles will be equipped with a head-up display, professional navigation with 8.8inch monitor, TV and voice recognition as standard equipment.

Selected models in the range have also received a few additional features of their own, with the 520d, 523i and 525i now receiving Park Distance Control, plus the 530i, 530d and 530i Touring have now been appointed with Comfort Access as standard fitment.

The range topping 550i has benefited the most from these upgrades with Comfort Access, HiFi loudspeaker system Logic 7 and Active Cruise Control with Stop and Go function added at no extra cost.

“The new product offering on 5 Series translates to exceptional value for customers wanting the very best in luxury motoring,” said BMW Group Australia Managing Director, Stavros Yallouridis “For each 5 Series model the new product offering equates to an injection of significant around $9,000 of additional value,”

Deliveries of the new BMW 5 Series package will begin this month, further enriched with a 3 year or 60,000km service inclusive package.

    Well, you can’t complain about expensive options when you don’t need any. Great package.

    This can only mean one thing…next 5 series is months away!

  • The Realist

    Great value now!

    But Wheels Magazine would disagree. They’d take a Holden Commodore over a BMW 550i even if price was no option.
