BMW 5 SERIES TOURING (1997 - TO 2003)宝马五月巡回系列(1997至2003)
Although the BMW 5 Series has established itself as the default choice amongst executive saloons, the Touring variant has remained very much a minority shareholder in the 5 Series success story.虽然五月宝马系列已成为违约选择其中行政发廊、巡回变种仍然非常小股东在500系列成功故事. Perhaps part of the problem was that its launch coincided with the relentless march upmarket of both large MPVs and luxury 4x4s, giving buyers in this sector a wealth of other options to consider.或许是问题的一部分,它的推出更印证了双方的不懈三月高档豪华大型mpvs、四轮驱动车,这个部门给予了丰富的买家考虑其他方案. Indeed, when the BMW X5 4x4 was launched in 2000, some commentators wondered whether a ?5 Series Touring on stilts?事实上,当宝马在2000年推出4-4荚,一些评论家怀疑了?5月系列巡回关于高跷? was really what the market needed.什么是真正的市场需要. It turned out that was exactly what the market was after and sales of the Touring remained relatively modest.原来这正是市场后,销售相对较为温和的参观. Although this limits choice somewhat for used buyers, it also means that the right car is often a good deal more affordable than you may imagine.虽然这有点为限选择使用买家这也意味着车权往往很大负担比你想象.
HISTORY历史
Although Touring versions of the 5 Series had been around in its earlier guise, when BMW launched the revised 5 Series in 1996 there were no Touring models in the line up.虽然500系列巡回版本已在其周围早幌子,当宝马在1996年推出了一系列修改五月均无巡回示范在排队. This raised a few quizzical eyebrows at first, but BMW?s top brass knew what was coming.这首先提出了几个清晰的眉毛,但宝马?收盘高层知道什么是未来. The Touring (BMW-speak for Estate) models arrived in 1997, with the 528i and 525tds diesel arriving in January, followed by 520i and 523i Touring models in April and the 540i Touring in September 1997.旅游(宝马发言屋)型号抵达1997年与528i、525tds柴油抵日其次520i和523i型号参观游览,在4月和1997年9月的540i.
September 1998 saw the introduction of the excellent 530d SE Touring, powered by the 184bhp direct injection turbodiesel 3.0-litre engine which was to go on to garner such critical acclaim under the bonnet of the BMW 330d.1998年9月推出的优秀医生巡回18~40硒、直喷turbodiesel184bhp马力的3.0公升引擎所争取到这样的好评下头盖宝马330d. This mega-Touring was a little slow to catch on, hindered in no small part by a hefty price tag that broke the psychologically significant £30,000 barrier.这个超级巡回是慢钓,阻碍不小的一部分,大幅标价30,000英镑重大突破心理障碍. At the same time as the 530d?s unveiling, BMW quietly withdrew the unloved 525tds model.在同一时间为18~40?收盘揭幕,宝马悄然撤出被爱525tds模式.
Those looking for the ultimate Touring were to have their hopes dashed when, in March 1999, BMW released the M5 saloon and refused to sanction an M5 Touring variant.那些被通缉的终极参观他们的希望破灭时产生,1999年3宝马公布M5中球馆,拒绝批准一项在M5巡回变种. Few realised in this country that the old M5 was available in Europe as a Touring version and a few left hand drive cars filtered into the UK.这体现在几个国家,旧M5中获得了欧洲巡回版本左驾驶轿车和几个过滤进入英国. If the prospect of a 380bhp estate for £12,00 sounds like fun, you know where to go.如果展望地产为一英镑380bhp12,00好像乐趣,你知道去哪里.
The 5 Series range received a through makeover in September 2000.500系列射程在2000年9月获得通过变天. The 520i?s 2.0-litre engine was consigned to the history books, replaced by a 2.2-litre unit that developed 170bhp, an identical output to the 523i which, unsurprisingly, was also replaced.520i的?收盘2.0公升引擎是委托给史书籍,取而代之的是一个2.2公升170bhp研制单位、相同的523i输出,难怪也更换. Its successor, the 525i was powered by a 2.5-litre unit developing 192bhp, only 1bhp less than the 528i.其继任者,525i采2.5公升192bhp开发单位,只有少于1bhp528i. See where this is going?这是什么地方? You?d be right.你?四是正确的. The 528i was axed, making way for the 231bhp 530i, with its 3.0-litre straight six cylinder engine.被开刀的528i,为231bhp530i,其3.0公升直6缸发动机.
To attract diesel buyers disenfranchised by the 530d?s big sticker price, but wanting similarly sophisticated technology, BMW also introduced the 525d.柴油吸引买家剥夺了18~40?大贴纸收盘价,但同样要尖端技术、宝马公司还推出了525d. This 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine utilised much of the 530d?s technology in a more manageable package, still pushing out a respectable 163bhp.这2.5公升turbodiesel引擎使用大量的18~40?在教练的技术方案还推出一个可敬163bhp.
BMW also made a number of cosmetic changes for the 2001 model year.宝马也作了一些表面的改变对2001年的示范. Pay attention and you?d spot body-coloured rubbing strips, round fog lights and a redesigned front spoiler.注意你?四点身体颜色摩擦片,圆灯和雾一套重新战线破坏者. The headlights were now of the fashionable clear lens variety and the indicator lamps became round.现在的头灯的时髦标志灯具和各种清晰透视成了轮. To help some of the M5 magic trickle down through the rest of the range, that model?s wider chrome grille surround were found on all variants.M5中的一些魔术的帮助下,通过滴其余的射程,这一模式?收盘广泛铬门锁围住发现所有变种. The V8 versions also gained chromed vertical grille slats.V8的版本中也取得了铬垂直格栅板条. The effect was very subtle but clearly adhered to the BMW family look.效果非常微妙但明确坚持了宝马家族看看.
The interior benefited from a few tweaks as well.内政部也得益于数tweaks. If the rear side airbag option was specified, additional airbags were fitted in the rear pillars, bringing the total number of airbags to no fewer than ten.如果选择指定气囊侧后方,气袋被装在车尾新增支柱总数不下十至气袋. A revised range of options were also available, including a Mini Disc system, a voice-controlled telephone and a larger television screen.修改幅度也可供选择,包括迷你光碟系统语音控制电话和电视屏幕较大. An all-new BMW 5 Series was announced in early 2003, numbering the days of this particular Touring model.全系列新宝马宣布五月2003年初,这个特别的日子编号巡回示范.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
There aren?t too many surprises with a 5 Series Touring.有西哈莫尼?笔太多惊喜与5系列巡回. You know it?s going to be beautifully built, great to drive, understated and well equipped ?你知道吗?将要兴建的优美,极大地径低估和精良? at a price.而付出代价. You really can?t finger a poor model in the range, although if we were being really harsh, the 525tds and two-litre 520i aren?t the most inspiring drives.你真的?手指笔一个贫苦模式的射程,虽然如果真的被苛刻<525tds和两公升520i西哈莫尼?笔最振奋人心前景. The 530d and 540i are the highlights for the mainstream buyer.18~40与540i突出的是买方为主流.
"The BMW Touring is a BMW saloon offering an even wider range of practical benefits and values", claims the company's chassis specialist Klaus Faust."宝马是宝马球馆开办巡回更加广泛的实际利益和价值"债权公司的底盘专家克劳浮士德. "Transport capacity is a significant factor - but not the most decisive one. What counts most is design, dynamic performance and comfort"."运输能力是一个重要因素,但并非最决战.而最重要是设计、动力性能和舒适".
So what we've ended up with, in layman's terms, is space without clumsiness, driving satisfaction without overt sportiness.所以我们已经结束了,简单来说,就是没有空间迟钝,驾驶无明sportiness满意. More collie than labrador?比科利多拉布拉多? You might think so.你可能这样认为. BMW couldn't possibly comment.宝马不可能评论. They're well aware, after all, that the previous shape 5-series Touring was considered too compromised as an estate car by load-conscious Mercedes E-class and Volvo V70 customers.他们深知,毕竟以前,形状5-系列巡回被认为过于妥协作为客车负载意识到梅赛德斯电子类、沃尔沃v70客户.
Which is why the latest model has a greater emphasis on practicality without losing the active lifestyle attitude that attracted so many customers to its predecessor.这就是最新型的重实用性而不丧失生活的积极态度,所以吸引了许多顾客942. Impressive statistics include a 630kg payload and a 2,000kg trailer load capacity.统计包括了可观的000公斤的有效载荷630kg拖车承载力. Self-levelling suspension is also part of the deal, as is a usefully flat 65inch-long cargo floor with a natty elasticised load net to keep loose items from sliding around.自流平也是受部分协议,作为一个有益的单位65inch龙货楼以展现elasticised保持松散的项目从净负荷滑动左右.
As for actual cargo capacity, well that's excellent too; 14.3cuft up to window level when all the seats are taken and 53.5cuft when you split-fold the rear bench flat.至于实际的货运量,明白的太出色;当所有的窗口级14.3cuft最多席位并采取53.5cuft当你分裂倍后方合议庭单位. Though the jaunty sloping angle of the rear hatch slightly limits the practical use of all this space, BMW has gone to great lengths to ensure that what remains is extremely usable.虽然jaunty后方舱口稍微倾斜角度限制实际使用这些空间宝马费煞确保剩余物非常实用. Take the re-design of the 5-series' light aluminium rear suspension in order to solve the problem of intrusive turrets in the cargo bay.以重新设计的五系列的轻型铝制后方悬浮为了解决侵入炮塔在货舱.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Just about the only problem reported with the 5 Series has been sticking valves on early 528i models, caused by running them on high sulphur petrol.唯一的问题只是报以5阀系列一直坚持对早期528i型号因汽油含硫量高,就办.

When paying this sort of money you should expect the best and negotiate big discounts for tired interiors or less than cosmetically perfect bodywork.当你付这种钱最好不要指望和谈判疲倦腹地大折扣或少于美容完美车身. Avoid dull colours and be aware that V8-engined models won?t be so easy to sell on.避免单调的颜色要意识到V8的引擎型号获胜?笔会那么容易就卖.

These are the kind of figures that make you wonder why anyone bothers with the 286bhp V8-powered 540i, which continues at the top of the Touring range.这是什么样的人物,您为什么作出任何困扰与286bhpV8的马力540i,继续在榜首的参观距离.
