SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp, the official importer and distributor of BMW in the Philippines, is thrilled to announce the arrival of a special BMW 520i, offering the combination of premium and performance driving. Now available with a suggested retail price of Php 3,990,000, the new BMW 520i delivers exceptional value without compromising on the signature BMW experience.
The new BMW 520i presents a perfect fusion of style, comfort, and cutting-edge technology, positioning it as an ideal choice for the discerning driver. Its commanding presence starts from the exterior, available in four elegant color options: Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Cape York Green, and Oxide Grey. Accentuating its dynamic design are 18″ light alloy wheels, sharp LED headlights, and the refined shimmer of the Aluminum Satin Finish exterior trim, ensuring it turns heads at every corner.
Under the hood, the BMW 520i is powered by a 2.0-liter, BMW TwinPower Turbo Petrol engine, bolstered by 48V Mild Hybrid Technology. Together, they deliver an impressive 208 HP and 330 Nm of torque. With its strong torque, the BMW 520i makes passing effortless and inspires driver confidence. The smooth 8-speed automatic transmission enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, with a top speed of 230 km/h. Despite its dynamic performance, the BMW 520i remains efficient, with a fuel consumption range of 6.4 – 5.7 l/100km (WLTP) and CO2 emissions between 144-130 g/km (WLTP). This translates to significant fuel cost savings for the driver and less trips to the gas station.
Safety is central to the design of all BMW models, and the BMW 520i is no exception. A comprehensive suite of airbags, including front, side, and head curtain airbags, protects both the driver and front passenger. In addition, the car is equipped with a crash sensor that can quickly detect and respond to potential collisions. Beyond these passive safety measures, the car is equipped with technology like automatic tailgate operation, cruise control with a braking function, and the parking assistant—features that combine to provide a secure and confident driving experience. These features not only enhance the overall driving experience but also offer drivers added convenience, particularly during long journeys or challenging parking situations.
Inside the cabin, luxury and innovation blend seamlessly to create a sophisticated environment. The Veganza Perforated & Quilted upholstery offers a sense of refinement, while ambient lighting allows occupants to set a personalized mood. Designed for both driving pleasure and daily practicality, the BMW 520i offers electric seat adjustment with memory function, along with sport seats for the driver and front passenger to ensure an optimal driving position. This personal comfort extends to multiple drivers, as the car conveniently caters to different driver profiles, making it an ideal choice for households with more than one driver. The four-zone automatic climate control ensures that each passenger enjoys their perfect temperature. The heart of the interior is the BMW Widescreen display, which integrates a 12.3″ Digital Instrument Cluster and a 14.9″ Widescreen Display, all powered by the intuitive iDrive Operating System 8.5. A Harman Kardon HiFi Loudspeaker system elevates the auditory experience, enveloping the cabin in rich, immersive sound.
The new BMW 520i, with its impressive blend of performance, luxury, and technology, is available for a short time only, so interested parties should act quickly as supplies are limited. This vehicle can be viewed at Autoallee ETON Centris, Pampanga Premier Cars, RSA Motors Greenhills, and RSA Motors Libis. Everyone is invited to see this model firsthand this weekend at the Masters of Motion display of RSA Motors in South Court, Power Plant Mall at Rockwell, from February 21-23, 2025, 10am to 9pm.
