Thank you!” KARL MAGSUCI – MARKETING DIRECTOR, BMW PHILIPPINES “The new BMW 5-Series is actually positioned as business athlete. It's just as good to ride it as it is to drive it. It's about the customer who knows how to work hard but also knows how to play hard. It's very dynamic, very BMW but at the same time, it's also very comfortable. The all new 5-Series, we have three variants available here in the Philippines. We have two 520d variants. One is in luxury trim and the other is M-sport trim. They are powered by a 2-liter BMW twin power turbo diesel engine, producing 190 Hp and 400 Nm of torque. The difference lie between the exterior and interior trims of the two variants. The luxury trim will get the elegant chrome trimmings, 18-inch alloy wheels and also a rear sun blind for the rear passenger. Now, the M-sport is equipped with a sportier body kit, 19-inch alloy wheels, a BMW heads up display that projects driver information on the windshield and gear shift paddle for the steering wheel. Now the third variant which is a top of the line variant is the 530d luxury. It is powered by a 3-lter BMW twin power turbo diesel engine producing 265 Hp and 629 Nm of torque. It's a very powerful car and it's equipped with leather nappa upholstery, soft-closed door function and it has the BMW remote control parking feature, where you can park the car using the display key remotely so that you can park the car even in tight parking spaces.” On the same event, after weeks of coffee shop talks and press releases, BMW Philippines’ lady president finally confirmed the involvement of a new investor in ACC.
