with this slighty less competetive engine, the 520d is by far a let down, its noisy, and can be mistaken as a tractor or a huge dirt shifting machine, its looks are by far the best thing, which have no relevence to the 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 is the car for you, but if you have a few extra ££ lying around, then spend them and get the bigger engined model,

    Car ops are always hard as people expect a lot of information. After all if you were thinking of buying a car you'd want to read a lot more detailed oipiniions than this before buying!

    I'm a little confused - if BMW have got it as wrong as your op says - why the four stars ?

    Hi and welcome to Ciao. Not a bad start Tony but details like interior, mpg, service intervals could be included to push your ratings up. Take care, Tickly
