He offers
A BMW 5-Series offers the luxury and comfort of fit, of course, been here but still Munich for a typical level or sporty driving dynamics. In addition, the 5 Series now comes standard with many safety gadgets such as technical and renowned EfficientDynamics measures (start-stop function, brake energy regeneration, etc.), active head restraints and switch driving experience including Eco Pro mode. Our test car is in addition to full leather trim some additional more expensive across the board, for example, adaptive headlights, Head-Up Display, Comfort Access, rear view camera and BMW ConnectedDrive as the supply of online rounds and was baptized by the iDrive entertainment in Munich. In short: comfort-oriented drivers will lose nothing. Thanks to the excellent quality of consistently high-quality materials and feels luxurious seating is located in the 530d and settled, but he exudes both outside and inside of a typical BMW sportiness.
So he went
It will then be happy - although diesel power - when you press the start button directly erleben.Der three-liter diesel offers quiet operation, at no time may sound annoying, almost does not penetrate into the interior noise and vibration. Forward travel from 530d - thanks to 560 Newton meters of torque - also really neat. The 6.0 ton limo quoted 1.7 seconds in our test but needs 6.4 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and the maximum speed specified by the 250 km / h can be associated with winter tires, unfortunately, not achieved. Positive but falling at the same time very strong and balanced power delivery. In terms of driving dynamics: this six-cylinder diesel engine can be moved very sporty and diesel are not catering to well-known stereotypes. Conversely, if necessary, the 530d also shift around the corner neatly. Due to different modes of driving experience, the switch cover from the sedan as well as all requirements in terms of suspension, of course you'd expect in the Sport + mode, do not expect the quality of the sports car sedan in the upper middle class. To fully recommend the optional eight-speed automatic sports cars we test, which offers precise switching points and the silky-smooth gear changes when required and to operate it manually via the steering wheel paddles or the shifter can be. Should be in everyday life and on the highway, where to be found 530d as a family car and the car business is usually, there is absolutely no question: the comfortable suspension, driving is always sufficient and adequate space in all things - even in the ground, Thanks to what is relatively larger dimensions of its predecessor's exterior: five inches gained in body length, the wheelbase has grown even three inches.

The base price of € 49 900 is not bad, but the competition at eye level: Mercedes E 300 CDI is to have from 49 890, Audi A6 3.0 TDI quattro from € € 51 200. So who lust after the cross again in spades list of Extras, a few thousand on it very quickly. The sun is in the case of our test car at the end of exactly 69, € 740 the bottom line. German premium sedan in the middle class, just as long as there is no bargain anymore. Also, the insurance classification is KH 23/26 VK / TK 29 is anything but cheap. Score for the 530d when it comes to consumption: 5.7 to 5.9 liter factory specifications missed it, but at 6.3 liters - and a gentle pace - it is the promise of the marketing department of BMW pretty close. Let the feet of gas, including sport + mode hang out, but approved and 530d in the best tradition of the rotor ten liters of fuel per hundred kilometers.
