BMW 530d brings one of the two very attractive characteristics together that are in demand by today’s driver who is enthusiastic about his ride. This one shares most of its things to the 7 series. Most of the big luxury saloons do not have a sports car touch; giving a sportier touch was a deliberate move in 5 Series as 530d has to be different from the 7 series.
For those who are looking for power and great pull, this turbo diesel model is just the right thing. Another treat that comes with this vehicle is the optional M Sport package or Luxury Line included in the price….bingo.
When a ride offers such a higher level of technology plus superb design, who will not opt for buying it. The claim of BMW for making this new one sleeker from its predecessor means that the car is more positive on aerodynamics.
The 530d engine gets an impressive 3.0-litre turbo diesel V6 which is backed up by an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is a rear wheel drive with a sound and smooth engine. For those who think that a diesel one has to be noisy and revved hard to reach the desired speed this one is proving it totally wrong.
What comes to mind for driving standard is ‘wonderful’ due to the control the steering and suspension provide. Every act is integrated into perfection making the drive effortless.
The steering wheel is mage evenly weighted to give the required feel of the road. Auto transmission is quick and goes along with the drive; manual shifting is as soft as they should be for such a high rated saloon. For parking, the surround camera becomes a big plus point making the act simple and precise.
The overall effect inside the cabin is great, front seats are comfortable and provide the driver a firm grip and right position. All the controls are placed in the right position within the reach of the driver so that the drive does not get disturbed.
Inside is decorated with leather, wood, shining silver effect and soft-touch plastic giving it a classy touch. The only thing which creates a little problem is a lesser space at the rear for passenger’s knees but the headroom is good. The center console at the rear seats and side pockets for storing bottles and other things is very handy for families.
The automobile rates high in terms of this trait scoring 5 stars in the Euro NCAP scoring. The features that are responsible for this success are stability and traction control, ABS, AEB, Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Dynamic brake lights, Active Cruise Control, Cross traffic warning, Lane keeping assistant and Crossroads warning.
With all these, there are seven airbags and ISOFIX child restraint anchor points on two outside rear seat positions. The active cruise control comes with stop and goes function. The car proves to be safe not only for the occupiers also for the ones on the road whether in a car or on foot.
