Bmw 530d G10 tested

[roly79]

Evening all

Just thought I would post to say had my 520d F11 in for a service today and was given a 530d x drive as a courtesy car for the day.

Wow what a lovely car and an excellent improvement on the F series. They have managed to make it feel much less boat like and much sportier whilst keeping and improving the refinement. Have had my F11 for 6 years now and finally now I have driven a car that instantly felt "right" as soon as underway. Interior quality was very nice and the m sport seats lovely.
Auto Gearbox intergration and smoothness seemed better resolved than mine (maybe age or service required) Was on 19 inch rims but ride was really good it did have a comfort button not sure if this is VDC ???
Not keen on the stuck on i drive screen and the silly gesture control and not sure on looks but I think they may grown on me

Just to say anybody lucky enough to have one on order is going to absolutely love it it really is a cracker !!!

Interesting to hear. While I liked the car, I also found my F10 520d very boat like, so I switched to an F30 to get a more involving driving experience. Good to hear that the G30 is a lot sharper. A G30 535d/540d may well be my next car.

It doesn't necessarily have VDC. I think they all have a comfort button.

The only thing I don't like about the G30 interior is that 'stuck on' infotainment screen. Looks like an after-thought. Have it in our 3 series as well. The integral system on the dash on the F10 looks so much better, much more premium imo. But they're using it all the way up to the 7's now so it's here to stay I fear.
