BMW 5-Series Touring (2010 - 2017) 520d (190bhp) SE 5d Step Auto Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
It is very nice to drive. Word of advice - ditch the run flat tyres (as BMW have on newer versions) as they affect the handling and ride and the economy rating on them is awful. Replace with beter rated tyres and it really smoothes out the ride and steering. Lovely and comfortable and you can drive in it all day. the Eco Pro mode is useful and you can really get a lot in the back of the estate. The infotainment system is pretty good and even the standard system sounds far better than the (almost new and full of gismos) 'loaner' car I was lent when mine was in for the EGR recently. Software upodates are really easy (just updated the maps) and free (so far) and the connected app (I think it is now 'My BMW') is quite clever but better with some kind of subscription. Altogether, very pleased with car and as a former Mercedes driver, i reckon I am sticking with BMW from now on.
How reliable do you find the car?
With just a couple thousand miles, message and what seemed like a flat spot, needed new EGR and cooler, despite haveing had this at recall. I woulkd have been very unhappy about this if it was not done under warrantyDoes the car do everything you expected it to do?
