let's start with the handling. that i as a comando says travel comfort in the 5 series is just what you'd expect from a beemer after the entire car is designed for long haul journeys so the interior is really quiet the engine built into this 530 d. is very peppy torquey and powerful and naturally it's a lot of fun to drive but when you then step on the gas it quickly gets fairly loud and overpowering here in the interior that's a pity that most of the time you can live with it. that brings us to a point to fuel consumption b.m.w. claims a rate of almost. 6 liters per 100 kilometers and every day we were closer to 8 but in view of its output it's still an acceptable figure.
