Comfort, economy, driveablility
Intermittent flat spot, dull interior, golf club unfriendly boot
I've had my BMW E60 525d SE Touring (manual)since new - 20 months and covered 22,000 miles. On the whole, it's been fault free and enjoyable. There are some niggles for me though.
The pick up in any gear is flat - but only from time to time. It's not turbo lag - I know all about that from my old Saab 9000 Aero. It's really annoying and the dealer can't find it. It's almost a lurch when you squeeze the throttle and worse when you change gear. It is starting to spoil what is an excellent all round motor.
Only other niggle are the sport seats.
