What�s it like to drive?
Aspiring executives, pay attention: THIS is how it�s done. The BMW 5 Series sets new standards for the class. Drive one and you can�t fail to be moved. So much so, the car should carry a health warning: �Caution: may cause award-winning poetry.� Every single engine is as smooth as it is swift. Sidestep the optional sports suspension and it feels as restful as a baby�s cradle. Invest in the Active Steering and you�ll be able to pilot it into the narrowest of parking spaces without even breaking a sweat. Read more - www.evecars.com
Performance
There's six petrol and four diesel engines to choose from. Even the least powerful 523i has a good turn of speed. The 525 delivers hot-hatch performance and exceptional refinement. Acceleration is more vivid as you climb up the range, but running costs rise. The 525d is a great engine, but the 520d is only a little slower, yet cheaper and more frugal. The 530d and 535d are genuinely rapid.
Ride & handling
The superb-handling 5 Series is top of the class for driving pleasure. Ride comfort is excellent at all speeds, as long as you avoid the optional sport suspension. Optional active steering increases assistance at low speeds, making manoeuvring easier.
Refinement
When pushed hard, the engines make a suitably sporting bark. Opt for a more relaxed style, however, and they are muted. The diesels are a shade more audible than their petrol counterparts, but they make a sporting thrum rather than an unpleasant clatter. Wind and road noise are well contained at motorway speeds.
