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

Its superb car

Nice compact SUV for city and long drives. For city driving 7-8 kmpl and highway driving it’s giving 12-14 kmpl. The overall drive experience is smooth. Ambient lighting during the night gives a luxurious feel.

E for Exellence

The drive is really fun and it’s a pleasure to drive The looks are stunning, but performance may lag at really high speeds-the comfort in the car is next level The maintenance is affordable and the first service was pretty decent The cons-Fuel economy is not good
