Description:
My first E60 - a company lease 520d with an admittedly brilliant engine. A certifiable 235 km/h top speed and no trouble at all getting there. Couple that with space for 5, 0-100 km/h in around 8.2 secs and an unbelievable real world mixed driving mileage of 15.6 km/l with 18.8 km/l on long hauls - incredible. Now, If only the sound was beyond "good for a dielsel"... then there would be no need for my next drive, the 535d - but the economy and real world low end torque is the no. 1 reason why drive no. 2 is a diesel and not a 550i or m5; I can no longer live with 500 km to a tankful; 1000 km range is addictive and then there's the environment...
