do the bmw m5 comp again and do more city driving
im very impressed at that steering wheel too. ive noticed these f gen m sport wheels wear really bad. my 2017 220d is on just shy of 39k and looks pretty rough to the point where im considering a retrim, but dont want to lose the heated wheel. you can tell bmws are built to last in this f generation though
How does this compare to the 530e?
I had a 2016 530d m sport. Absolutely loved it. Wish I'd kept it. Now have an M440i and I'd go back to that 5 series hands down, even though it was heavier and slower.
Not sure why people worry about 100k plus on a quality ca. My European friends don't think this is huge mileage, they drive across countries so mileage isn't an issue there.
You have to show more than 5 cars at your scoreboard this time u only showed the cars which are slower but I wanna see the cars which are faster aswell
Could you test a 2012 sort of era Audi A7, 245bhp model? Cheers
Ulez thing is a joke, have a 330D 2012 which isn’t compliant, even tho I’m certain it’s the same engine as this – looking to potentially go to an S5 V8 which somehow is compliant – great video, 5 series a little to Barge-y for me (for now at least)
I have this shape 2014 but 520d only coverd 80k miles. Still looks drives like new. F10 is such an underrated car you don’t see many compared to the 3 series but it’s just perfect all rounder
Bmw went back to proper indicators because the general public are stupid and cant appreciate all the hard work it takes to make a decent indicator stalk.
I own the pre facelift from 2011 with a stage 1 map software only. It really is the perfect all rounder.
Maintenance is key and a little on the pricey side, but they will treat you well in the long run.
The headlight seals almost always fail north of 10 years old. If you're not good at DIY, that's £1k+ per side for a new unit)
Rocker cover gaskets always fail north of 100k (£500 job for injector gasket, new rocker cover and gasket)
Timing chains may or may not fail around 150k onwards, or even sooner with poor oil intervals. (£1200-£1500 job)
Aux belt and tensioners will need doing around 120k. (£400-500 job)
At this milage, suspension related parts may need work too so be concious of that, check MOT history to determine if its been done etc. springs are about £70 each corner and struts are £180+ each corner, control arms are around £100 each part. Ball joints are about £50. (Autodoc prices but OEM parts)
Tyres can be about £150 for fronts and rears can be about £180. (Staggered)
New battery is about £200 fitted and coded
You’re right. Truly boils down to the owner and how she was looked after. I had a W211 E240 and it did 200,000kms before I had to let her go. Every six months she was always on Liquimoly Leichtlauf Hightec 5w40 plus Ceratec. And I always use Shell / BP 95 😊
I’ve had same but the bigger brother 535d there rapid the torque is immense makes you’re heart churn! especially on motorways honestly can keep up on any fast cars and cruises smoothly long drive ❤
The f10 is in my opinion best looking car in its class but if it's an estate I would go with the a6 it just looks better as in estate
If I ever was to buy a 5 series it would have to be a 6 cylinder diesel soo smooth
Do you think it’s worth spending a little bit more for the facelift 2018 530d ? Does the same face lift come with the same engine ? Awesome videos as usual!
