BMW 5 Series is one of the most important cars of BMW’s lineup and here we have a very popular turbo diesel engine mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission, sourced from ZF, and xDrive (all wheel drive). The BMW 530d featured here has a very low mileage (a little over 3,000 km) and it is the facelifted version of the sixth generation of BMW 5 Series that is being produced since 2010 (with facelift starting 2014). BMW 5 Series competes on the market against models like Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E Class.
