There are some people who drive a car just for going from one place to another. For them, a car is important, not what brand and with what qualities it comes. They are the boring lot who are unaware of what it is like to have a ride full of fun and crisp acceleration. Then there are those who drive a car for fun and to enjoy every bit of traveling. For this second type, BMW 5 series is just right as this saloon is not only for carrying you around, it is to make you feel none the less like a royal family member. The refinement and comfort this car provides is out of this world and most of them in the category can reach that level.
Although no matter what engine level you choose, every trim is a superb piece of engineering and every engine shows its refinement in every aspect. But from all of these, 520d is the most popular one which gives you all you need and further going up the range becomes questionable.
This trim level has a 2.0-Liter engine and the way it carries you on road is indefinable. And if you want more, there are more choices of which 530d and 540i are also a good one and will give more power and luxury. Supporting the engines is an eight-speed automatic gear box that is well suited to the fast speeds these engines provide. The gear box is glossy, fast and positive giving its best performance in every speed level.
Handling BMW 5 series car is not a problem if the right settings are chosen. The car is one of those saloons which can drive themselves with less effort on part of the driver. Every feature is easy to access and operate due to the clear 10.2 inch infotainment screen with excellent graphics and quick response. Technology is an area where BMW masters and every upgrade gets the latest version.
The self parking feature of the vehicle is also another amazing addition by which you can park the car in the narrow spaces by standing outside the car. Many think that the default settings of the system are a hindrance to driving fun. But limitations are very important as otherwise the drive will be dangerous not only for the car occupiers but also others on the road.
When selected the right mode, your BMW 5 series becomes the one where no rival can stand. Apart from sport mode, the other ones increase comfort and the suspension works with the light steering and body weight as if you are not riding a car, but flying a bird on the road. The suspension makes the road under the tires smooth and the passengers can enjoy traveling without any discomfort or shudder. As the cabin has plenty of boot, leg and head room accompanied by much luxurious availability, the drive becomes even more pleasing. In one line BMW 5 series is a comfort plus luxury plus economy plus superb engine and suspension package; what else the purchaser need?
