My first BMW that isn't an M5 - G30 530i M Sport
Discussion
I sold my CLS 350 CDI a few weeks ago and have been using my E60 M5 as a daily since, which has been interesting. I needed a new daily and decided that I really liked the look of the G30 M Sport cars.
Initially I was looking at 530e's, but concerns around the hybrid system and battery put me off. Lack of boot space and the fact many are low spec and don't have folding rear seats also put me off. I then thought about a 520i or maybe a diesel, though I don't really do the mileage for a diesel. I considered other cars, like a Volvo S90, and I was very tempted to go look at one, but I had concerns around the Sensus system and everything being on the touch screen. I prefer buttons and knobs (ooer).
To that end, a 530i M Sport in Sophisto Grey Xirallic popped up which had 1 owner but slightly high miles. I decided it was worth a look.
The spec includes:
Comfort access
360 camera
Blind spot assist
Radar cruise
Park assist
Head up display
Gesture control
Through load rear seats
Collision alert
Steering assist / lane assist
Display key
The 1st owner certainly ticked a few options boxes!
First and second impressions are really good. It drives nicely, is quiet, everything works and looks to have been fairly well looked after.
I don't really have too many plans for it other than to run it and keep on top of it. It's the perfect car for my needs and ticked all my boxes, and some!
