Mechanical
Name: Integral Active Steering
Description: Integral Active Steering varies the front steering ratio (amount of steering wheel rotation required to turn a given corner), based on vehicle speed and other driving conditions. It reduces steering wheel rotations (thereby reducing driver effort) required during low speed maneuvering and increases steering wheel rotations required during high speed maneuvering (the latter reducing the likelihood the driver will turn sharply at high speed, thereby helping maintain high speed stability). Additionally, when the front wheels are turned, Integral Active Steering turns the rear wheels as much as 2.5 degrees opposite phase (opposite direction of the front wheels) at lower vehicle speeds or same phase (same direction of the front wheels) at higher vehicle speeds. The opposite phase motion reduces the turning circle, while the same phase motion enhances the car's high speed stability.
Interior
Name: ACC Stop & Go + Active Driving Assistant
Description: When engaged, Active Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go operates as normal cruise control until it senses a slower moving vehicle directly ahead. At that time, the cruise control matches the speed of the 5 Series to that of the slower moving vehicle, maintaining a driver selected, pre-set distance between the two vehicles. The Stop & Go function will bring the 5 Series to a complete stop if the vehicle ahead stops. Upon application of the accelerator, Active Cruise Control allows the car start moving again. Once there's no longer any nearby slower moving traffic ahead, the cruise control resumes initial speed set by the driver, continuing to use the pre-set selections initially made by the driver.

Safety
Name: Side And Top View Cameras
Description: Cameras on the exterior of the vehicle are positioned in such a way as to display the areas behind and on either side of the vehicle, shown on the display mounted in the center of the dashboard.
Name: Park Distance Control
Description: Park Distance Control for front and rear bumpers. Park Distance Control sensors in the front and rear bumpers trigger a series of beep tones that are audible to the vehicle's occupants. The beeping progressively becomes more rapid in correlation to either one of the bumpers getting closer to nearby obstacles.
Name: Parking Assistant
Description: When engaged, Parking Assistant surveys the size of available nearby parking spaces to determine which ones are of adequate size for the 5 Series. When a space of adequate size is found by Parking Assistant and selected by the driver, this feature will provide all steering inputs required to maneuver the car into that space. In a combined effort with Parking Assistant, the driver must select the appropriate gear and control the accelerator and brakes to park the car.
Name: Night Vision W/Pedestrian Detection
Description: Infrared camera that monitors a range that can reach 980 feet ahead and can detect pedestrians up to 300 feet ahead.

With its sleek design, powerful engines, and cutting-edge technology, the BMW 5 Series 2016 offers an unparalleled driving experience. In this article, we will delve into the technical specifications, modifications, engine versions, trim levels, design, and handling of this remarkable vehicle.
Technical Specifications
The BMW 5 Series 2016 is a mid-size luxury sedan that offers a perfect balance between comfort and sportiness. It comes equipped with a rear-wheel-drive layout, but all-wheel drive (xDrive) is available as an option for enhanced traction and handling. The car measures 193.4 inches in length, 73.2 inches in width, and 57.6 inches in height, giving it a dynamic and athletic stance on the road.
Modifications
One of the notable modifications in the 2016 BMW 5 Series is the introduction of advanced safety features, such as blind-spot detection, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. These features ensure a safer and more enjoyable driving experience. Additionally, the interior has been refined, with high-quality materials and superior craftsmanship, creating a luxurious and comfortable cabin for both the driver and passengers.
Engine Versions
The BMW 5 Series 2016 offers a range of powerful and efficient engines to suit different driving preferences. The base model is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, producing 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking even more performance, there is also a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine available, delivering an impressive 335 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and precise gear shifts.
Trim Levels
BMW offers various trim levels for the 5 Series, allowing buyers to choose the one that best suits their needs and preferences. The entry-level trim is the 528i, which comes with a generous list of standard features, including leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 10.2-inch infotainment display. Moving up the range, there is the 535i and the range-topping 550i, both offering enhanced performance and additional luxury features.

The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles.

We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
