BMW 5 Series Business Edition models launched

Posted on 01/08/2009 under: Sedans/Saloons, BMW

BMW’s award-winning 5 Series range has now been expanded with the introduction of the Business Edition model portfolio. Offered on 520d, 525d and 530d Saloon and Touring variants, and in SE and M Sport trims, the Business Edition specification represents a significant customer saving on a range of equipment normally offered as an option.

For a premium of £1,000 over a standard 520d SE or M Sport model, a Business Edition vehicle comes equipped as standard with Dakota leather, Bluetooth with telematics, BMW Business Navigation system, BMW ConnectedDrive Assist and Online, and a six-disc CD changer. The door sill finishers on an SE come with the ‘Edition’ designation, while M Sport models retain M Sport door sill monikers.

For a premium of £1,750 over a standard 525d or 530d SE or M Sport model, Business Edition vehicles receive the same upgrades as the 520d Business Edition models with the addition of a BMW Professional Multimedia Navigation system, Extended voice control and a USB audio interface in place of the six-disc CD changer. M Sport Business Edition models powered by either the 525d or 530d gain 19-inch M Double-spoke alloy wheels. This same 19-inch alloy wheel is also now offered for the first time on all 5 Series Touring models.

Prices for a 520d SE Business Edition Saloon start at £28,430 OTR and rise to £41,960 OTR for a 530d M Sport Business Edition Touring.
