2000 BMW 5 Series 530 D Steptronic review from Spain
"A beautifully made, brilliantly styled executive sports saloon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Handling and ride absolutely superb.
No intrusive noises at any speed.
Automatic gearbox slightly lazy in urban traffic, but the weight justifies this.
Fuel consumption amazing, except again for urban traffic.
