I have this shape 2014 but 520d only coverd 80k miles. Still looks drives like new. F10 is such an underrated car you don’t see many compared to the 3 series but it’s just perfect all rounder
I had a 2016 530d m sport. Absolutely loved it. Wish I'd kept it. Now have an M440i and I'd go back to that 5 series hands down, even though it was heavier and slower.
Not sure why people worry about 100k plus on a quality ca. My European friends don't think this is huge mileage, they drive across countries so mileage isn't an issue there.
Great cars indeed!
Makes the market better for those of us who prefer to buy very well maintained high mileage cars. Still have my 172k 335D which had full bmw service history and only 1 previous owner 😍.
The worry is the rod bearings.. a weak point of the n57
Great video. I'm on my 4th 5 series.. had a 530D and the others 520Ds... tried other cars in between and keep coming back to them. The F10's have just everything you'd need.
I’ve had same but the bigger brother 535d there rapid the torque is immense makes you’re heart churn! especially on motorways honestly can keep up on any fast cars and cruises smoothly long drive ❤
Do you think it’s worth getting this or the facelift version 2018 530d I think it was?
You’re right. Truly boils down to the owner and how she was looked after. I had a W211 E240 and it did 200,000kms before I had to let her go. Every six months she was always on Liquimoly Leichtlauf Hightec 5w40 plus Ceratec. And I always use Shell / BP 95 😊
I own the pre facelift from 2011 with a stage 1 map software only. It really is the perfect all rounder.
Maintenance is key and a little on the pricey side, but they will treat you well in the long run.
The headlight seals almost always fail north of 10 years old. If you're not good at DIY, that's £1k+ per side for a new unit)
Rocker cover gaskets always fail north of 100k (£500 job for injector gasket, new rocker cover and gasket)
Timing chains may or may not fail around 150k onwards, or even sooner with poor oil intervals. (£1200-£1500 job)
Aux belt and tensioners will need doing around 120k. (£400-500 job)
At this milage, suspension related parts may need work too so be concious of that, check MOT history to determine if its been done etc. springs are about £70 each corner and struts are £180+ each corner, control arms are around £100 each part. Ball joints are about £50. (Autodoc prices but OEM parts)
Tyres can be about £150 for fronts and rears can be about £180. (Staggered)
New battery is about £200 fitted and coded
Thanks for the info, spot on. My F30 328 currently needs new gasket cover/ injector due to leak, and also Wastegate actuator at 90k miles 2013
Good advice mate, one more thing to add is the rod bearings can go at approx 130k+ £1500 job
@@THEG12EG yeah true. Mines at 127k. When it reaches 150k I think if I still have it and all is ok, I may do chain and bearings then.
Ulez thing is a joke, have a 330D 2012 which isn’t compliant, even tho I’m certain it’s the same engine as this - looking to potentially go to an S5 V8 which somehow is compliant - great video, 5 series a little to Barge-y for me (for now at least)
Id love S5 V8 but 695 road tax 😮
@@Scalbow95 yeah would he paying in 6 month instalments 😂
@@Scalbow95 £735 now, at least that's what my C63 is
It's the dpf
I actually really like the indicators. When I picked up my E92 335i not too long ago it felt pretty intuitive to use and I prefer them more than the normal stalks.
remapped my 09 530d, breaks traction no problem now
Could you test a 2012 sort of era Audi A7, 245bhp model? Cheers
If I ever was to buy a 5 series it would have to be a 6 cylinder diesel soo smooth
do the bmw m5 comp again and do more city driving
Would love to see a review of a 2017/2018 330e
You have to show more than 5 cars at your scoreboard this time u only showed the cars which are slower but I wanna see the cars which are faster aswell
The f10 is in my opinion best looking car in its class but if it's an estate I would go with the a6 it just looks better as in estate
Do you think it’s worth spending a little bit more for the facelift 2018 530d ? Does the same face lift come with the same engine ? Awesome videos as usual!
If u afford to, always get a facelift
They usually include a lot of tweaks other than some cosmetic changes.
im very impressed at that steering wheel too. ive noticed these f gen m sport wheels wear really bad. my 2017 220d is on just shy of 39k and looks pretty rough to the point where im considering a retrim, but dont want to lose the heated wheel. you can tell bmws are built to last in this f generation though
The leather dye is really sensitive , when cleaning don’t use excessive heat or strong cleaners 👍🏼
@@runnidgaming0840 thanks for that :) mine was pretty rough when I got the car, even with only 15k miles on it :( im hoping a stitch over the top retrim will make it smarter and not feel cheap. When the day comes and I replace my 2 series, hopefully the next bmw will have a better condition steering wheel 😂
I've had a F-series 4 series and 5 series and noticed this too. They're super nice wheels when kept nice, but when trawling autotrader you do notice some wheels look really rough despite being low miles.
@@tris1452 I didn’t pick up on it when I got mine but now notice it all the time. But for the spec of the car and the price, which was a steal at the time, a worn looking steering wheel isnt the end of the world at all. Definitely thinking of a retrim though
Out of the 30e and 30i drivetrain, which feels quicker?
30i, same power, less weight and very very tunable, 30e has 20i engine which has higher compression than 30i engine
Bmw went back to proper indicators because the general public are stupid and cant appreciate all the hard work it takes to make a decent indicator stalk.
Including yourself right ?
No not me. My e70 x5m still has the soft touch indicators. So carry on....
@@realmusicreallife still on finance though you don’t own it just renting it 😂😂
@@Thuds593"finance" and "renting" are mutually exclusive. Finance is method of payment, like paying cash. You still own it.
How does this compare to the 530e?
better than 530e. Powertrain feels more consistent in its delivery.
@@ParagonCarsLondon is 530d faster in a race you reckon? Thanks mate
@@runnidgaming0840 530e is a little quicker 30-70 but the 530d is deffo quicker at higher speeds.
