BMW 5 series is a vital and pulsating member of the German brand’s family. There has been a slight fall in the demand of traditional saloons as people are now more inclined towards buying present age modern designs slowly leaving the old trend behind. But by adding up more and more technology, BMW 5 series is giving a hard time to its competitors as it has always done. The car is still a topper in its class presenting every feature with head held high. The fine ride which BMW provides is still not a match and the ones who are used to it can never turn to another option until unless it is significantly a better one. BMW 520i is a starting trim in the petrol side and still you never get a hint of being a starter when you are inside. The reason is its equally compatible exterior, interior and performance; these three making it stand out.
For giving the car a spanking new look and more gadgets, the team worked on the plan by having a clear vision of where the work is needed. The new version has a fresh exterior with some new cuts and lines with a splendid front and back making the elegance appear from every side you look at the car. The customer can now choose from two alternatives; one is a modern line and the other is traditional. Front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, Bluetooth, satellite-navigation, internet connectivity, dual-zone climate control and leather trim are just some tools I am talking about.
There is also a strong safety package which comprise of eight airbags and crash preparation system, which strengthens the grip of seat belt and closes the windows. There are rain sensing wipers, heated seats and the most important a central touch screen which is helpful for the driver and operates quickly and accurately. Last but not the least, the leather and wooden texture boost its deluxe emergence from inside.
The BMW 520i takes its power from a 2.0-Litre turbocharged engine which gives the vehicle a moderate rev. The word moderate does not mean over here that the car performs lower than others but it is not a sport model to ease off your track driver inside, instead it is a calm family car which performs excellently in the town.
The drive is well controlled and well balanced on bumps. But when it comes to major pit holes the car do transmit a shudder throughout the cabin. Despite of it, engine well suits the size and the suspension makes the ride a memorable experience.
There is plenty of leg and head room for the passengers as well as comfortable welcoming place for the driver. The luggage space is also good not disturbing comfort of its occupiers. There is a generous space for two in the back with a folding center arm rest.
Storage spaces in the doors are well placed and the deep long boot has item storage helped by a ski port and split-fold system. For a detailed description you can turn to the display screen which is now operated by a large knob clearly delivering what is needed.
