BMW 520d Saloon and Touring. With executive levels of comfort, sprightly performance, frugality and best-in-class cost of ownership, the new 520d may be the entry-level model, but remains an aspirational car for business users and private buyers alike.

Powered by the same 1,995cc diesel engine as the benchmark compact executive BMW 320d, the new 520d Saloon offers 163hp at 4,000rpm and 340Nm of torque at 2,000rpm. This powers the car from standstill to 62mph in 8.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 139mph. But these levels of performance are not at the expense of consumption and emissions, with the EU4-rated BMW 520d delivering 47.9mpg on the combined cycle and 158g/km emissions.
