Additional letters or words may be added to the end of the three-digit number to define the fuel type (petrol or diesel).
The BMW is a serious sports sedan, with most drivers on the road quickly. Overtaking is a piece of cake, especially the excellent manufacturer of diesel engines. The 520d is capable, the 530d a major player - and the twin-turbo 535d is incredibly shocking! Interestingly, the gearbox six-speed manual has a clutch travel long and well, if the automatic option is the most relaxing. Say that while the 5-Series is easy, vibration and wind noise isolation very well, and demonstrate super smooth through the system. The lack of engine noise is really impressive is that the stability and the absence of noise at high speed. He moves well too, but things farm runflat tires at full speed. The reward is the leading management class in the turns. With better brakes, steering and stronger control of the body most impressive in its sector, the BMW brilliantly communicates and is committed to driving. It remains the benchmark for dynamic executive vehicles.

The 5-Series offers space for healthy hind legs, while among the highest in the car in your area produces abundant head and shoulders. The driver is also well regarded, with comfortable seats and driving position perfect. All controls are perfectly placed, but despite their ergonomically very well designed, the cabin can leave a little disappointed. The design is very modern and nice, but is a bit low compared to its competitors. It makes you feel as special as it should. Cannot match rivals like Audi in quality, whatever - details like the fragile cup, heating controls at a low price in the future without carpet and cabinets are unfortunate niggle.
