Seat comfort is now accompanied by enjoyable
driving engine power
In the midlife face lift,
the BMW 5 series on the whole became a range which had a high side in the
lavishness area while the fun of riding it due to the capable engines got lost.
But again when it was upgraded some of that came back. The present 5 series is
a perfect collaboration of many things that give the whole a flawless shape and
driving fun is one of them. BMW 520d is not among the higher trims but it
certainly has maintained its position with grace and respect in the market as
well as in its own range.

The outer looks of this series may not have changed
than its predecessor but the technology, added software and the construction
techniques has turned it into a classic creation. You might underrate the looks
but its styling does put an impact on you after some time of owning it. There
is a certain respect which a BMW gains from its owner due to the efforts this
company puts into its products to make it your reliable companion throughout
its life span.
Engine is aggressive with quick responses
This BMW is one of the
kick offs for this category but it never lets the one behind the wheel feels
the engine under-powered. In fact there is a forceful engine under the bonnet
that permits the driver to take it to its height. There is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine that has a 188 hp at 4000 rpm. The torque it produces is 400 Nm
from 1750-2000 rpm. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic gear box.

There is a misconception about diesels that they do not deliver well and are
noisy. This is not the way this one behaves. It is quite in start and all the
way long when you drive it. BMW 520d engines are easily available in market if
something went wrong with your older one.
Handling is aided by different modes
Handling has also become
easier and you do not have to control your movements to make your car respond
in the right way. When in the city mode your engine becomes soft delivering
steady torque and stable drive. The Eco Pro mode is for congested areas where a
controlled speed is required. This mode also makes your car fuel efficient
which is a plus point. In the city mode the engine becomes freer to gain speed
and responds to outputs in a better way.

More performance is the result when
you are driving your sedan in this mode. But if you are eager to get more out
of the engine then the sport mode is what you should select. Also the handling
changes with the change of mode and you always get what you want. 520d BMW engine supply and fit is a two in one service which is very helpful it can keep
your BMW always new.
What it feels like in town and on the highway
There are many high speed
machines that are good at one side. They will perform well either in town at
low or medium speeds and when on highway the charm is lost altogether. What has
made this vehicle more fun is its weight loss which makes gaining speed easier
and the responses become sharp as well. In any road conditions the cabin
remains vibration free not feeling a single bump or pothole. The drive in both
the conditions is governed by different separate for town drive and highway.
