Bmw 5 Series 525d M Sport Business Edition Step (2009)

Bmw 5 Series - German Excellence

I worked my socks off until the day came when I finally got hold of my BMW 5 Series Sport 525d. It drives like a dream. At low speeds you can hardly hear the engine at all but when you put your foot down the car comes alive with a sublime grunt. I would recommend the 2.5 diesel engine to anyone. Not only do you get a decent level of all round performance but the fuel return is excellent. If you have a budget of approx £15-19k then why buy a Vauxhall or Ford equivalent when you can buy a piece of brilliant German engineering? I’m happy with it and will keep it for a while but every time I see a Jaguar XF I sometime wonder if I should have saved that little bit more.

Favourite features
The aggressive nature of the exterior design. There's just o other car on the road like it.

Suggested improvements
Better tyres. Trying and go anywhere in snow, ice or even frost can be challenging!
