BMW 5 Series 530Li M Sport (Titanium Bronze)

Buying expiring exp details about look performance service maintenance Good Probs and cons detail everything amazing experience Mileage freon capacity seat capacity automatic function available

Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.
