In September 2008, our family decided to buy a second car. We already had a Nissan Almera sedan, so we decided that we needed another big car with a diesel engine. We considered several options, but the multi-member test drives of Audi and Volvo cars did not help. In the end, I made a decision, and the choice fell on the BMW 1 Series. However, after clarifying a few points at the dealership, the conclusions prompted me to reconsider my earlier decision, and we settled on the 3 Series Coupe. The price difference between them was small, so I made up my mind and chose the 320d coupe. Then it was time to wait for the cherished car. But the financial crisis came, our car did not get to the assembly on time, so the purchase date was postponed.
Somehow, at a meeting, a friend advised me not to waste my time and take something from what is available in the showroom. Moreover, since the new year, a rise in customs duties on used cars from abroad was expected. So I decided to do so. It was no longer possible to delay the purchase. I called the salon and found out that there were no suitable options and a worthy replacement for me! Then I had a thought: "And if I swipe at the Bavarian 5-series?". The managers picked up two BMW 520s for me to choose from. Their configurations were close to the top ones. Therefore, after weighing everything again and seeing the car, I decided. And for good reason!
BMW 520 is my car! Complications with the state. numbers, tinted windows, mudguards and rugs, in principle, did not arise. Right there, in the cabin, I bought a native set of 17 discs with Dunlop winter studless tires. And here it is, the moment of truth - I'm leaving the salon on a brand new diesel beauty!
Diesel 2-liter engine with 4 cylinders and a power of 177 horsepower, with a torque of 350 Nm. Body color metallic "black sapphire". The interior is trimmed in black Dakota leather. The seats are comfortable, with excellent lateral support. The gearbox is a six-speed automatic. Well, how can you not fall in love with this BMW 520, the performance of which is so good?!
In addition, among the pleasant "little things" I found: a heated steering wheel, heated seats with three levels of operation, a pair of cup holders that slide out of the front panel. Two more were found in the back seat. My BMW 520 model, like many other cars of this concern, is equipped with parking sensors with sound and visual indication. Well, where without proprietary stability stabilization systems!
Now sharewith your impressions. What can I say, BMW is a car in the full sense of the word! Comfort, rear-wheel drive, responsive cornering - all this together evokes feelings close to the pleasure of sex! Separately, I want to note the diesel engine "German". From the traffic light, the car moves off smoothly, but very quickly, leaving everyone far behind. Auto responds almost instantly. Fuel consumption, according to the on-board computer, is less than 10 liters in the city. The brakes are just perfect. I would never have believed that a two-ton car could stop so quickly. My BMW 520 proved it.
A lot is said about Bayerische Motoren Werke cars, both good and bad. My expensive BMW 520 was no exception, reviews of which are the most controversial. But, fortunately, as the owner of this car, I know that the only truth is that it is simply impossible not to love this car.
