New 530d in test…

I won’t bore you with all the details. I will say the magazine gave the 530d five our of five stars! So… that’s a German thumbs Up!!

And… the 5-er Touring/Wagon variant:

Ok....

BMW 530d

3.0L I6

Autobahn: 6.2L/100 kph 38 mpg

test fuel economy: min 6.2L/100 kph 38 mpg
max 10.1L/100 kph 23 mpg

CO2 levels: 162 g/km EURO5
You can pay extra for EURO6 if you wish!

Performance:

0-100 kph (62 mph) 6.8 sec
0-200 kph (124 mph) 30.1 sec
Top Speed: 250 kph (155 mph)
0-400m (1/4 mile) 14.8 sec

100 kph to zero/stop: 38m

Base price: 52,840 euros

The only things the magazine did not like is the high price of the car once you option it out. Also they thought that the car should come with a EURO6 rating and not have the customer pay extra for that! They also gave it poor marks for only a two year warranty (typical for German market). The warranty should be longer.

Thanks, though I meant the main comments

Any important feedback -aside from the already mentioned? ie. steering, suspension, cornering, etc

Does anyone know if BMW is going to bring the 530d to the US??

It seems like a "no brainer" but then again you never know.
