electrophoretic impregnation
of the bodywork has been
developed whereby the car is
immersed vertically in a tank
and completely coated with an
anti-corrosive base layer before
the final coats of paint are
appli ed. Careful undersealing
and the BMW rust protection
which reaches every last corner,
together with high technical
and manufacturing standards,
ensure a long life and high
resale value for BMW cars.

The BMW 525 and BMW 528 have disc
brakes on all four wheels, a brake servo,
and a pressure limiter which meters the
braking action on the rear wheels. Overbraking is avoided. The hand brake acts on
additional drum brakes, combined with the
rear wheel disc brakes.

Vehicle front deformation: approx. 65 cm (25 in). The dip in the delay curve of the front section is pre-calculated to correspond exactly to the
movements of the passenger compartment occupants and the reaction of the belts in a collision, so that the effects of peaks of acceleration
are avoided.

530 i. The luxury car all automotive engineers would design if the
automobile companies would let them
In an age of mass produced
status symbols, marketing
geniuses and styl ing breakthroughs, the engineers at the
Bavarian Motor Works concentrate on building the best
driving machines it is physical ly and technically possible
to build.
Irrespective of passing
fashion or price.
And as a feat of pure engi neering intelligence - as a
luxury automobile perfect for
its time - the BMW 530 i ~ay
we ll be unequaled in all the
world.
It i's not the biggest or the
widest or the longest. Nor is
it the plushest or the chrom iest.
But rather, in a time when the
concept of the automobile has
taken so many irrelevant side
roads, the BMW 530 i is buil t to
be a finely tuned machine.
A unique harmony, if you wi ll,
of performance, safety and
comfort.
A machine capable of satisfying not only the practical
requirements of society but the
spiritual needs of the serious
driver as well.
Styling, functional not
frivolous.
From the time of the fin to
the age of the opera window,
we at the Bavarian Motor Works
have remained stubbornly
aloof - faithful to the d ictum
that form ought to follow function.
Consequently, you will find
nothing on the BMW 530 i that
does not in some way contribute to performance, safety or
comfort.

The interior,
engineered not
decorated
When you drive the BMW
530 i, you w ill experience a
curious sensation of being part
of the car itself. A unique
feeling of total and complete
control.
If your realm of experience
has been confined to conventional luxury sedans, this
feeling will be completely new
to you.
But, be assured, it is not a
figment of your imag ination.
It is, in fact, one of the things
BMW is most famo us for.
In Germany, it's called "speed
feel."
And as nearly as we can
trans late it means the feeling
that the cockpit is a calm eye in
the center of the hurricane.
Part of the explanation for
this phenomenon lies inside
the car itself.
While the interior of the average car is decorated by stylists,
the interior of a BMW is designed by engineers.
Basic to that design is an
anatomical reality that seems
to have escaped the majority
of the world's automakers.
That reality being that no two
people are made in precisely
the same way.
And that for the sake of safe,
contro lled operation, the automobile must be made adjust to
the human being - instead of
the other way around .
In the BMW 530i, as in all
BMWs, careful study has been
made of the interrelation
between seat location, visual
position, steering wheel ,
pedals and controls.
As a result, you w ill find

Unparalleled agility
If the engine is the heart of
an automobile, then the suspension system is its conscience.
In truth, the suspension
system is the very essence of
a safe automobile.
It must be able to withstand
speeds higher than the rated
speed of the automobile itself.
It must have sufficient
strength and agility to survive
violent swerves, fast sidetracking or panic-braking.
In short, a well designed ,
well constructed suspension
system is a technical - but
very real-form of life insurance.
The suspension system of
the BMW 530 i is generally
acknowledged to be one of the
finest ever built. A carefully
synchronized, extensively
tested masterpiece of engineering. A model for modern
design.
Road holding, uncanny.
If you've become accustomed to the leaning and swaying
one experiences in the average
car, you'll find the legendary
road-holding capabilities of
the BMW more than a bit reassuring.
The suspension is fully independent on all four wheels -

sophistication of this well -tried
2.5 litre unit has done much
to establish the legendary reputation of BMW engines
today.
The BMW 528i, with its uprated performance, is also an
outstanding motorcar.
Hitherto the motorist who
required exceptional perform ance has had to choose be tween the unwieldy dimensions of an exclusive luxury
saloon or the conspicuous
styling of an expensive sports car.
Both of t hese altern atives represent a compromis e for th e
performance -orien ted driver.
The BMW 528i combines
the manCBuvrability of a classic
sports car with the refinement
of a luxury saloon. It is unique
in avoiding the harsh ride and
exhibitionist image of most
sports cars whi le offering all
the comfort of a top class
saloon in an unusually com pact form.
The BMW 528i fulfils the
wishes of every driver who
wants high performance with out ostentation . For the most
intelligent way of exploiting a
car 's sporting characteristics
to the full is not to make a show

angle of visibility, are also characteristic of the typical styling of the BMW
5 Serles cars (1).
Large windows give BMW cars
excellent all-round vision. Double
halogen headlights ensure good visibility at night or in fog, and the large
tall lamps have an integral rear fog
light on the off side (6).
The signal lights on all BMWs are
designed for optimum size and visibility.

BMW cars have always been preferred by motorists who demand outstanding performance and dynamism.
And BMW, in regarding the driver as
the leading partner in a man/machine
symbiosis, conduct very intensive
automotive research to build cars that
satisfy the demands of the driver in
every respect. As a result, the BMW
5 Series cars incorporate the latest
standard of safety research. All the
design features serve to support the
driver and relieve him of routine jobs.
Thanks to this extreme effort that we
make to offer the driver optimum
safety, fatigue-free driving conditions
and absolute comfort, the BMW 5
Series cars provide not only dynamism
and vitality, but also an unparalleled
standard of progressive motoring.
This new balance of qualities gives
the driver the power he needs for quick
responses and the comfort he requires
for command at the wheel and sovereignty on the road. The driver of a 5
Series BMW thus has the perfect car
for outstanding, responsive and responsible motoring.
The quality of the 5 Series passenger compartment starts with the seats.
Because a relaxed posture is a prerequisite for safe, confident driving,
BMW have spent a great deal of time
and money to produce the best possible seating. Of sophisticated design
and construction, the seats satisfy
strict ergonomic standards. The upholstery is firm, and shaped to combine the perfect sitting position with
excellent lateral support of the body.
The seat springs, on the one hand,
and the car' s springs and shock
absorbers, on the other, constitute
one functional unit carefully matched
to complement each other.
Like the outer seat belt anchorages,
the seat belt lock is fitted to the side of
the seat and can be opened and closed
with one hand (1). This keeps the seat
belts in an ideal position around the
driver's and front passenger's hips
and guarantees that this favourable
seat belt geometry will be maintained
in all seat positions.
Three-point inertia-reel seat belts
and head restraints on the front seatswhich can be adjusted for height and
removed if desired - are standard on
all models. From the BMW 525 the
angle of the head restraints is individually adjustable (2).
Fig 3 shows the upholstery in the
BMW 518.

Evolution from above: the new BMW
2-litre in line six in the BMW 520.
The large BMW 6-cylinder inline
engines are among the best, most
efficient, and most advanced piston
engines ever designed for a motor car.
To produce the same running characteristics and the same torque, other
manufacturers often require either
larger capacity or more cylinders.
For the BMW 520, we have incorporated the inherent advantages of
these 6-cylinder engines in a 2-litre
power unit. The result is an engine
perfectly designed for its size, and
which possesses at the same time all
the features that give the large BMW
6-cylinder engines their exceptional
reliability, durability, and service life.
The first trial run will show you that
the common denominator between
this engine and its competitors is
purely the number of cylinders. Its
superiority is the result of BMW's
unique engine technology and knowhow - expressed by what BMW can
achieve with 6 cylinders (1).
BMW 6-cylinder power units are
also used, for example, in the BMW M 1
(2): The road version that develops
204 DIN kW (277 BHP) from 3.5 litres.
The normal-aspiration Group 4 (3)
racing version that develops more than
353 DIN kW (more than 480 BHP).
And the turbocharged Group 5 version
that develops more than 588 DIN kW
(more than 800 BHP).
ensures precise valve timing and contributes to the free-revving characteristics of the engine.
The BMW 6-cylinder inline models
feature a contactless transistorized
ignition system for utmost precision in
ignition timing during a long service
life. The entire system is free of wear
and maintenance.

Its superiority comes from coordinated design detail and the very careful
balance of chassis geometry,
springing and damping. This allows
BMW cars to combine controlled speed

perfectly.
Based on a predetermined design
concept, each wheel of the BMW
chassis can adapt perfectly to all road
and traffic conditions. The result of this
unique synthesis of outstanding performance and comfort is optimum
road-holding in any situation (4).
Front suspension: individual, with
off-centre spring struts (displaced
camber angle) and a torsion stabilizer
bar (reinforced on the BMW 525/ 528i)
(2).
All models in the 5 Series have a
double twin-circuit braking system
with servo assistance. The BMW 525
and 528i have disc brakes on all four
wheels (ventilated at the front on the
528i) (1); the BMW 518 and 520 have
discs in front and large drum brakes at
the rear. A sensor fitted to the front left
disc brake (also to the rear right disc
brake with the BMW 525/528i) determines brake lining thickness and

ment panel and its support, the carefully constructed doors, hinges, and
lock reinforcements, and the support
in the parcel shelf, protect the passengers all round. And at the upper level,
where stability profiles in the roof and
the rollover bar overlap with the roof
columns (8).
The deformable front section (9),
for example, has predetermined
crumple zones designed to absorb
the impact in a head-on collision,
thus ensuring that the seat belts have
their full effect. As a result, the passengers will not be thrown forward too
abruptly in an accident and the stress
they are subjected to will remain within
bearable limits.
The exact procedure in the case of
such an accident is shown by the diagram (10). Impact tests with a solid
obstacle take place at 30 mph. The front
zone (illustrated by a BMW 525) deforms by about 65 cm (over 2 ft).
The seat belts are programmed to come
