BMW 5 Series Engines and Transmissions

BMW 5 Series engine choices include gasoline versions such as the 520 2.0 MT, 520i 2.0 MT and 518 2.0 MT. These examples pair a manual transmission with rear-wheel drive: you select gears to suit hills, traffic or overtaking, while the rear wheels deliver the engine’s power to the road.
