In conjunction with the BMW Malaysia Open 2015, BMW Malaysia has unveiled a new limited-edition 520d Sport, which will be limited to just 50 units.
Under the hood lies a new 2.0-litre TwinPower turbo-diesel engine, which is good for 190 hp at 4,000 rpm, while the peak torque of 400 Nm is readily available from 1,750 rpm till 2,750 rpm. The eight-speed automatic transmission transfers all of that power to the rear wheels. The new 520d Sport can sprint from standstill to a hundred km/h in just 7.7 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 233 km/h. However, the car isn’t all about outright performance, as BMW claims that the 520d Sport only sips 4.1L/100km (average combined).
Managing Director & CEO of BMW Group Malaysia, Alan Harris said, “Outstanding, premium efficiency with ultimate driving dynamic is undoubtedly a specialty of the BMW 5 Series. The car’s achievements in these areas have played a major role in cementing its global bestselling status at the premium end of the executive class. With the introduction of the New BMW 520d Sport, we are confident that this premium sedan will continue its lead in its segment, as well as offer a more sporty offering for our customers in the segment.”
On the outside, the BMW 520d Sport gains the M Aerodynamic exterior package, Dynamic Damping Control, 18-inch Double-spoke light alloy wheels and the bespoke M-leather steering wheel. Other familiar features like the BMW ConnectedDrive, is also available on the 520d Sport. The Adaptive LED headlights also makes a return on the 520d Sport. The 10.5-inch Multifunctional Instrument Display that was available on the other 5-Series models can also be found on the 520d Sport.
