My Ride: 2009 530d Msport Auto
Hi all,
I have had the 09 5530d M Sport Touring a month, so I thought I would get a few quick pics posted and sum up how it compares to the 05 530d SE Touring I traded in.
Handles better, much faster- especially 50 -70 mph, better fuel consumption- averaging 35uk mpg with a lead foot but get 41-43 on a long run, less CO2, less uk road tax.
The police here use 5 series tourings as motorway patrol cars and when I pulled up next to one last week the officer just nodded and said, "nice". I was so pleased I let him beat me away from the lights!!
Can't stop smiling
