 | | For the N62 engine, BMW engineers conceived a system with two intertwined helical elements which, rotated by an electric servo motor, vary the effective intake length steplessly. |
 | | In this aluminum/cast-iron construction, patented by BMW, the brake rotor consists of two components: the high-carbon cast-iron outer portion, which functions conventionally as the surface onto which the brake pads grip; and an aluminum “hat” in the center, which mounts the rotor to the vehicle. |
 | | Its design is just as fresh as that of the exterior, and as always with BMW there is a wealth of new, thoughtful ideas to make the going even more comfortable, pleasant and esthetically satisfying than in the new 5’s estimable predecessor. |
