A recent road test by Kaasujalk and Iltalehti focused on an 11-year-old, all-wheel-drive BMW 520d with 160,000 kilometers on the odometer. The model was originally praised for its handling and powertrain upon its release. The test revealed that a well-maintained example of this vehicle continues to offer a balanced and enjoyable driving experience. The car’s xDrive system provides a rear-wheel-drive feel during normal operation, and the steering remains precise despite being electric. The report suggests that with a full service history and varied driving conditions, this BMW can still have significant life remaining. The vehicle proved to be a comfortable and capable performer, even after considerable use.
