Expected fuel economy
Hi,
I have a hearts and minds decision to make. I went to the garage with the expectation of perfectly liking the 520d however the garage didn't have one to drive until later in the week. I drove the 530d which put a big smile on my face (now that hasn't happened for a few years). I then drove the 520d (yesterday) which is fine but without the smile. The big difference is the lag when you put your foot down, the power just doesn't feel to be on tap. I asked the sales guy if the sports auto makes any difference, he said it was the straight 6 which makes the difference. I'm working out if I can afford somewhere in the middle i.e. 525d [auto] however fuel economy is a key concern. Can anyone please share what they are currently returning on the 525d[auto] or a 520d[auto] I'd be happy with low 40s for the 525d - it would probably push me to test drive and likely buy the 525d. Any info appreciated. Jon |
