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.

Great choice, specially since the 525D got a new upgrade in the engine - a lot of positive resonance (what a pun ).

auto or manual?

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...

Regards,

So it is a 525dA Msport

Great choice of extras!

PS. Can you still add the Hi-Fi speaker system?

Too late for that but my music appreciation wouldn't warrant it!
