New 5 series on order...
Hi, this is my first post. I have a 525d MSport on order due for delivery on 1st October.
I have had my current car - a C270 cdi estate - for 5 years so can't wait for the new one!
I have put a few extras on it including the 172 alloys and cream beige leather interior with gloss black trim in lieu of the brushed aluminium.
Here's a picture from configurator...

I haven't driven one with this new engine as demos were not available on LCI models. I did drive an old 525d with the 2.5litre engine.
My wife has a 330d with the 204bhp engine so I guess the performance of mine will be similar.
Has anybody who has an LCI 525d MSport got an opinion of the performance...
Regards,
D

Welcome to the Forum 525d MSport
The 525d is a great choice!
No Touring nor autogear?
Comparing to the 3.0 litre 525i you'll get a fuel and tax saving car.
Be sure sending in some pics.

It is an auto.
Full spec is:
525dA M sport saloon
Cream beige Dakota leather
Titanium Silver
M double spoke mixed 172 wheels 19"
Auto box
rear side airbags
Front seat heating
Black trim - high gloss
Bluetooth phone
6 Disc cd
no model inscription - why, because it is a 2993cc so the 525d badge doesn't fit IMO
Through load system
Just over ?5k off list...

So it is a 525dA Msport
Great choice of extras!
PS. Can you still add the Hi-Fi speaker system?
