Car BMW 5-Series Touring, which I find amusing because the “Touring” seems to have a larger storage area than the “GRAND Touring” model. Less is more? This is the proper estate with a huge boot space – starts at 560 liters and goes up to a maximum of 1,670 liters by folding down the 40:20:40 split rear seats, which are also individually indeclinable by 11 degrees in 7 stages by the way!
Electric Power Steering on all models and the new 8-speed automatic transmission that is optional in Europe but will no doubt be standard here in Malaysia as at that price point, not many people are interested in manually operating the clutch! I’ve also found out that the i Drive system’s feature set has been expanded in the latest version. There are news and RS reader functions with text to speech so you can listen (and not read) the latest while driving. Your navigation point of interest database can now be supplemented by Google Maps, though without the option of BMW Connected Drive wireless EDGE model here in Malaysia you probably won’t be able to use this. The audio system can now also play audio from a Blue tooth Audio Streaming source other than the existing CD, USB, i Pod and aux in sources.The Bluetooth featureset has also been expanded beyond the new audio streaming feature – iDrive can now display SMS, tasks, memos and calendar entries all from your mobile phone through the new “Office” function.
