Power upgrades, efficiency gains and cosmetic enhancements across the BMW range were showcased at the brand's 2010 Model Year Update yesterday, writes Trish Whelan.
The event saw the addition of a brand new engine variant to the 5-series range, the 520d Saloon which will be their volume seller, as well as the mid-life update of the X5.
The average fleet consumption of BMW cars is now 5.9 L/100kms, which is lower than that of many mass manufacturers.
Other models due shortly will be the Touring version of the 5-series in September, and the new X3.
The day was also used to mark the 25th birthday of the BMW M3 which has earned cult status around the globe.
