For 100 kilometers and c o 2 emissions are 280 grams per kilometer if you let that be a gasoline engine rig youre really looking at 18 leaders and of course the 375. 00 kilowatts of power in the acceleration of a sports car do their bit.

Car to streamline more shaver has been looking at the current generation of the b. M. W. 5 series touring and pick 5 points that he thinks are decisive for a touring Station Wagon today hes going to see if the 5 series can satisfy them but i do support the effort and. The bullet points are handling the fuel consumption design Load Capacity and ease of use. Lets start with the handling. That icicle none of us has travel comfort in the 5 series is just what youd expect from a beemer after all 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 its 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 thats a pity that most of the time you can live with it. That brings us to point to the fuel consumption b. M. W. Claims a rate of almost 6 liters per 100 kilometers in every day use we were closer to 8 but in view of its output its still an acceptable figure. Point 3 is the design of course differ but the flat l. E. D. Headlights and trademark kidney grille should appeal to just about everyone over all the design of the 5 series touring tends toward understatement but maybe that leaves less room to do something run. B. L. V. D. Rear lights are standard just like the l. E. D. Headlights our models equipped with the x. Drive all wheel drive. And the monolith says one feature many touring 5 already have is still found in this generation a rear window that opens separately from the hatchback and speaking of the hatchback point for his Load Capacity there is no one says the trunk is roomy as youd expect from a Station Wagon the video equipment looks almost a good wash but if thats not enough room you can simply flip down the back seats at the touch of a button and then theres. Space to load bigger items but if you plan to do this a lot you should skip on the light colored leather and we have an artists car because it will get scuffed stuff thats all. The interior is of high quality both in materials and workmanship the digital instrument cluster is standard as is a Navigation System with a screen just under 9 inches. All engines are paired with an 8 speed on a matic the adaptive suspension costs 3550. 00 euros extra. On the road you can easily feel the difference between the various modes but the whole thing isnt really necessary because the standard suspension is already well matched to the 5 series touring the main focus here is clearly on comfort. Become now to the west point ease of use. One that i think might be any minor one thinks of user friendliness he thinks of parking because thats not so easy for everyone and there are several cameras here that you can easily switch to at the press of a button and then you have a 3 day view of the vehicle in the space where its part and you can even see how the vehicle is moving while youre parking in the animated wheels are a nice little gimmick and here you can see how slowly the obstacles who represented by these rectangles get closer and then change from green to yellow to red depending on how close you approach. A lever the parking assist and class system cost 1100. 00 euros extra if you want to save that money just use the standard parking aid another strongpoint of the 5. 00 series touring. Time for emanuels verdict. I was not all in all he thinks the 5 series touring has met the requirements in the 5 categories he listed the only thing that still bothers him is that. Hes a show that is just so big it takes 7 most of the room in your pocket if you compare it with the keen for me 25 series touring. For huge difference becomes obvious of course this one has a display with a touch controls and all sorts of other things but it in the end no one but no one meets that. Kind mench.
