Auto Express have published their "First drive" review of the BMW 530d diesel. 'The new 5 uses a shortened version of the latest 7-Series platform, as well as its all-aluminium suspension. This gives the car a longer wheelbase than before, aiding high-speed stability and liberating extra cabin space, particularly in the rear. The ride has benefited, too, with well judged damping providing excellent comfort when cruising and suppleness if you drive enthusiastically. Also, the power-steering is electric for the first time, yet remains direct and relatively full of feel.'
