BMW 5 Series

If you hire a BMW 5 Series, you’ll find yourself at the wheel of one of the highest-rated executive family saloons on the road today. It offers a prestigious badge, a beautifully finished cabin and is simply great fun to drive.

If you opt for the 530, you’ll be able to enjoy the six-cylinder, 3.0-liter engine under the hood. This is a classic unit: smooth, powerful and economical. In BMW’s traditional mechanical layout, the 24-valve, straight-six engine drives the rear wheels for greater balance. This helps the car offer agile and precise handling. The ‘feel’ of the steering is especially impressive for drivers.

The 530d’s performance is also exemplary for this class of car: the 0-60mph benchmark sprint takes under six seconds, while the top speed is limited to 155mph. Amazingly, fuel consumption of over 55mpg is possible. The 530d is normally fitted with a smooth six-speed manual gearbox.

This refined BMW is also a prestigious and finely appointed four-door saloon that can seat five in comfort. The 5 Series range is available as a saloon, a fastback GT and an estate, known as the Touring model.
