BMW 535d Sport review - verdict

BMW 5 Series 535d M Sport

Test Date 25 January 2005  Price When New £40,420



Verdict

 8 stars out of 10

With a near-£40,000 price and just 1000 annual UK sales expected, the 535d is only ever likely to be a minority-interest car. But what a compelling one. This is a diesel whose qualities need none of those ‘for a diesel’ qualifications, although we’d go for the smoother-riding £36,575 SE rather than the harshly sprung Sport sampled here. Configured like this, the 535d makes one of the most complete and satisfying diesel saloons in the world – if at a price.
