IS just a few weeks since BMW registered four new trademarks, including the PAS based on the CS Concept. Based on the 5-Series platform, the 2010 PAS will be offered with all-wheel-drive system.

Like the latest X6 Concept, it will come as a basic four-seated version and will be built on an all-wheel-drive system. The difference between the X6 and the PAS is that the X6 takes its genes from the X5, while the PAS is inspired by the future 5-Series Touring (known internally as the F11) that will be coming in 2010.

BMW wants to make the PAS the best from it’s class. For example the PAS 3.0i, with an output of 306 hp is to accelerate in 6.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. To compare: A 335i is only 1.2 seconds faster. At the same time BMW promises a total consumption of 10.5 litres per 100 kilometers.

The PAS will be offered with four different engines: the PAS 3.0d with 245 hp and 550Nm; the PAS 3.0sd with 300 hp and 650Nm; the PAS 3.0si with306 hp and 400Nm and the PAS 4.0si powered by a V8 diesel engine with 408 PS and 600Nm.
