BMW 5-Series Saloon (2010 - 2017) 520d Efficient Dynamics 4d (2012/12) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Who cares?

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Family really enjoy it.. often find the wife has taken it rather than her own car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes - overall a very pleasant drive. Would load the car with more gadgets (e.g. HUD, parking camera).

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably another 5 series diesel.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£37,000

When did you buy the car?

February 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I selected this (my 3rd BMW) as a company car due it's tax efficiency and the lack of a 3 series equivalent at the time.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Even with the thin run flat tyres this is a very smooth drive. 100 mile plus journeys are a breeze.

What's it like to park?

This came with front/rear parking sensors which make parking easy. Given it is quite a large car some parking bays are quite a squeeze.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Perfect so far.

What's most practical about your car?

Fuel economy is excellent. 46.9MPG real world driving.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Has to be the business media system/sat nav. All nicely integrated and easy to use.
