BMW 5 Series 2018
Carsguide Family reviewer Nedahl Stelio had this to say at the time: Driving the 530i this week was a complete pleasure. Between the smooth drive, the quiet power, the comfortable luxury and the big boot I didn’t have much to complain about. It’s spacious and is one of those cars I would give up an SUV for. I gave it a family rating of 8.5 out of 10. My children also gave it an 8.5, BMW knows those screens win kids over!
