The engineering is exactly what you expect from BMW, and nothing has disapointed me yet !
The car inside is well designed and the buttons on the steering wheel to control the radio are extremely useful. Unless you can afford the BMW navigation system the built in colour screen is a novilty ... Read review

Advantages: A big car with plenty of room for the family. Disadvantages: Not found any yet
...Unless you can afford the BMW navigation system the built in colour screen is a novilty that soon loses its appeal.
The most frequent comment i get from passengers refers to the amount of room in the rear seats, three people are seated with ease and the leg room is excellent. The only negative was from a less agile person who did find the backs seats a bit low and struggled to get out of the car.
Overall the car is excellent and met all my expectations. The engineering is exactly what you expect from BMW, and nothing has disapointed me yet !

My car has the 2.0 engine and I have been surprised with the performance which as been very good, cornering is excellent and does give you a sense of safety.
I drive about 12000 miles a year, not on the motorway so I have averaged 34.5 mpg which could be better.
Advantages: nice style of car Disadvantages: a bit too big, less of the REAl features a car like that should have
i love this car, its awesome, but the thing is its kinda big. The inside has nice leather seats and, well, its a family car. i bought mine around 7 weeks ago and its really good with the petrol. it doesn’t use too much, but the thing is as I said, its a big car. Even though its a saloon, its still quite a huge saloon. i bought mine for 15.000 and its pretty unique, very fast, smooth on the road and also it has very nice features such as a cd player, ...

Advantages: diesel, very economical Disadvantages: can be a bit noisy,sounds to much like a tractor engine,
...to safe a few ££ BMW used the smaller engine, bringing down the weight, but these benefits are outweighed dramticly by the fact that this is no longer a refined car that purr's when being driven, but a mere shaddow of the bigger brother the 530d, which is an alround better car, there is no physical difference in these two cars, so if your lookin to have a great looking car with an economical engine, that wont break the bank balence, then the 520d ...
