BMW 5-Series Touring 535D M Sport 2007

5 star review

Unquestionably the very best car in it’s class. Blistering acceleration, precision handling, supremely comfortable and exceptionally safe. 286BHP, 0-60 in 6.4 secs, 42 mpg and 186g CO2. Show me another car that compares for driving experience, economy or practicality. This car truly is a star and deserves 6*

BMW 5-Series Touring 540i Sport 2003

5 star review

Wonderful car, quiet, understated yet very powerful. As long as you drive long distance fairly economical, however city driving will make you feel bankrupt when refuelling. It is a very very heavy car, which makes it much less sporty, especially combined with the auto box, which in itself is good, although I don’t like the downshifts on the motorway. I will now replace it with a 325d Sport Touring company car, which has the same amount of torque. Much lighter, it probably won’t be much slower A-B. And yes, the 3 is smaller than the 5, especially in the back and in the boot, but in the end: how often do you really use it? Good excuse to leave stuff home!

5 star review

This is a very special car. I recently test drove this and had made up my mind within the first 5 mins that I would be ordering one. I will be taking delivery in two days and I’m very excited to be getting behind the wheel of such a wonderful car again. Maybe giving it a 5 star rating already is a little unfair but I feel that this score will stick for such a well designed car.

BMW 5-Series Touring 318 ES 2007

5 star review

Good looking and well built but with all the space you want from a family estate. Who needs 4X4’s? 5 stars from EuroNCAP and an absolutely HUGE inside. Also a real driver’s car, fantastic feel, rear-wheel chasis is great and plenty of grip.
