If you are in search of an executive level saloon, then search it in BMW 520d is not a right direction. Instead go for higher trim levels and you will surely find a nice piece. This BMW 5 series is a depiction of engine ability which works excellently on roads. It is an intelligent car we are talking about which is able to guide you on the go. This year updates have enhanced many cabin details and made the outer look soft, differentiating it from others. The intention behind this softening is to give it a less aggressive look with more informal casual one and what we get is a smart casual well equipped for the driver. The saloon is based on latest technology stylized and engineered as a sports car but with comfort and a feel of luxury in the interior not lost. But one thing is to be considered that only right choices will make this BMW a portrayal of what image you have in mind for this brand.
In general, 5 series is all about its engine beauty along with all the astounding technologies. The engine which empowers 520d is the same 2.0-Litre diesel engine. The 2.0-Litre engine is not new to a BMW car as it is present in many make-ups of this brand.
Now back to 520d, in this vehicle the power produced is 188bhp, which is a sufficient amount for a swift ride. The engine is mated with an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox which shifts without breaking up the tempo. Another plus point is the addition of four-wheel steering which is a great feature for the stability of locomotive as the pace rises. The ride is not quite and vibration-free but which diesel engine does not? The overall refinement is impressive without doubt.
This is where the car masters and instills a strong will to buy it. The well balanced body weight and a sound steering tribute each other well, making accurate movements whenever they are in order. Engine is hushed most of the times until unless you are revving it for more than its capacity.
The ultimate wheel capacity with which the transport can deliver a relaxed drive is 18 inches, after which you will feel everything that comes under the thick tires leaving a tiresome run. The standard 17 inches are the best and they keep everything floating under the tires making the drive way level even in the worst conditions.
In the latest update, the interior quality has been raised. The perfect trims and stitches make the upholstery faultless which a BMW customer always expects.
At the first glance, things appear to be the same old ones, but there are minute details added in it. Height of the infotainment screen is elevated making visibility clear. Then there is a fully digital instrument display giving you a feel of luxury whenever you lay your eyes on it. The infotainment screen works in a precise manner, showing exactly what is needed.
