coleman72 Im from Athlone myself man ))) I was thinking also to go with the automatic. Was driving a4 before, sold it, so now already looking 2 months for the car, a lot of them with the high milage on the done deal. I really like black colour, the white is so expensive. What should I look 1st of all when buying a car. Its cost a lot, and don't want to put more money in it. Never had bmws before. Really looking forward to get one. Like silver too man. Is ur is standard f10 or M sport ? i don't think i can afford the m sport, but they look awesome. Dude thanks for respond really appreciate it.
Cool! Here in the Philippines, BMW is lending some 90 units of the 520d--all black ones--for the 45th ADB Annual Governors' Meeting. The cars, which cost Php4,990,000 each, will be used for just four days, or the entire duration of the event from May 2 to 5, and BMW will sell the cars with a discounted price after the event -just sharing :)
excellent, this is as good a review of a car as I've ever seen, be it from professional presenters or otherwise. informative and clear...i will subscribe too. well done.
To be honest, I cannot really give you an answer to that question as it is not my car and I have not spent a whole lot of time with it to be able to give a good answer. But from what I observed, the diesel clatter is there, but not that noticeable when you're in the car.
I drove the Audi A6 and this ,both with 2.0 Diesel engine .Bmw has more 10 more hp but the audi is more stylish and better built all around and I also loved the interior of Audi .
Of the big three, BMW, Audi and Mercedes, it is Audi who have the best quality appearance in the interior. German auto magazines think so too, they rate the BMW interior appearance as "gut", meaning good, and Audi "sehr gut" meaning very good, Mercedes quality appearance is often called "solide", or solid. In this quality video, you can see the BMWs interior panels appear abit plasticy, especially the lower panels on the seats, check out videos for the 2012 Audi A6, and you will see what I mean.
When does the Mazda CX-5 come out for you guys? Can you do a video of it if you can, would love to see the Asia spec of that car. btw, hate BMW for being cheap on the Canadian and US market for switching the rear turn signals to red...amber looks so much better and more luxurious
i noticed that in F10 520d model, it has larger entertainment display compared to the F10 523i. Are the larger display available in all F10 model or just some model ?
in the vid you mentioned that the car does 100km with 4.7l ? and the info in the car shows its 9.2l for 100km? what caused this difference? :/ its doubled !!
The 4.7l/100km is for combined city/highway driving, this car was just driven around the city as it is a test drive unit and it doesn't see a whole lot of highway runs.
i am about to get this one, but after luking at ur video, OMG, i dun believe the sound of d diesel is so damn ruff, it like an isuzu car, i pefer mercedez benz
over here in Malaysia, the car is 2 plus times more expensive in the US ! for this particular 520d is worth rm 333800 ( 107 ,677 american dollars ) but in the us is only worth US 46,900 dollars which is only ( rm 145,390 ) pffttt so cheap in the USA !! see the difference ! a Malaysian who buys a bmw here in MY is probably richer than an American who buys it there ! damn cheap in the USA ! haha
my father bought this car for me at $ 80,000 equivalent value in Korean WON. yes~~~ Tax is 100% added along with other additional charges. My Dad's 7 Series cost him $ 200,000. So you get the picture.
Yes. Especially High on German cars. Government has been doing so thus domestic companies can keep developing their cars Hyundai and Kia without having to worry about comepetiton due to huge price gap between them.
+Christopher Kim Stop lying Christopher, I got my 520d for about $60,000 with promotion in Korea and this price is tax included. and my friend got a 640d gran coupe with promotion for $ 80,000 and this price is tax included so it's either you are lying or your father has donated extra $20,000 to BMW. the exact tax for 520d in Korea is 11.9%., not 100% R U EVEN KOREAN KIM???
That is the best review I have seen of this car ever. I really enjoyed the thorough tour inside. Thank you for this!
I'm watching this in 2019 and that radio music gave me such a throwback
Exactly the review I was looking for, thank you!
Lol can't believe he left the radio playing haha
kind of nice years later to hear what music was playing in 2012 on the radio
Very good explanation of all the functions, well done
Fabulous car I am hoping to get one first week may 2014,520d 2010 plate....cant wait watched evey vid on youtube....nice vid btw..

Cheers for the video.
Exellent review. However the background noise of the radio was annoying at times, making it somewhat difficult to listen to your comments.
excellent, this is as good a review of a car as I've ever seen, be it from professional presenters or otherwise. informative and clear...i will subscribe too. well done.
It's fun to finally see the driver seat on the right side! US has crappy license plates too :(
Getting a 2016 bmw 520 on the 22nd of June I can’t wait
Congrats you have earned a new subscriber and that's me!
Thanks!
great video I'm going to look at one tomorrow
nice video bro hello from albania 🇦🇱

Great car spoiled by that tractor engine. Anyway, very good reviews. Subscribed!
Awesome video thanks for posting step by step guide...really useful, what a beauty of a car.
This is great and nice review...i like it so much,thank you
I drove the Audi A6 and this ,both with 2.0 Diesel engine .Bmw has more 10 more hp but the audi is more stylish and better built all around and I also loved the interior of Audi .
Diesel passenger cars in Malaysia are so rare. I've only seen the 520d about 5 times so far
great video alexlovesmac
You'd be suprised with its power. 2.0 diesel but it runs like a petrol. Put it in sports+ and wheels would be spinning.
Thank you sir very useful to me
The licence plates in your country are really nice

When does the Mazda CX-5 come out for you guys?

4.7L/100km for real? whoa
a lot of equipment on this model ...how much it cost with this equipment?
I recently got one
9.2 l is to much for diesel. Is it in sport mode?
bmw 520d 2009 estate automatic.when slowing up gives a little shunt what would cause it do that
which type of HD camera do you use?
in the vid you mentioned that the car does 100km with 4.7l ? and the info in the car shows its 9.2l for 100km? what caused this difference? :/ its doubled !!
The 4.7l/100km is for combined city/highway driving, this car was just driven around the city as it is a test drive unit and it doesn't see a whole lot of highway runs.

P.S my car is a 2012 bmw 520d se manual
I think it's because you have the efficent dynamics version.
could you do the bmw 3 series f30 2012?
pl u should have kept that radio off.. thats annoying.. rest all is good
It's there on start up but once it's moving it completley disappears.
i am about to get this one, but after luking at ur video, OMG, i dun believe the sound of d diesel is so damn ruff, it like an isuzu car, i pefer mercedez benz
where was the bmw chime?
How much is it in Malaysia?
do u know if these 520d use adblue? thanks
+David wong No they don't.
Thanks for prompt reply. Do u know if the 2014 model in your other video use adblue?
Malaysian models do not have Adblue as Adblue only applies to cars with Euro 6 emissions standard as far as I know.
The G30 5 Series uses AdBlue.
can someone tell me how to turn and operate the headlight washers on a bmw 520 m sports year 09 thank you
Just pull and hold the windscreen washer stick it will open up and wash the headlights
Just pull and hold the windscreen washer stick it will open up and wash the headlights
you have to hold it for 2-3 seconds then the headlight washer will work...cheers
Does anyone know if the ride height changes in different modes such as normal and sport??
Yes, it changes a bit over the different modes if the car is equiped with active drive EDC suspension.
True, it mostly changes the stiffness of the shocks.
over here in Malaysia, the car is 2 plus times more expensive in the US ! for this particular 520d is worth rm 333800 ( 107 ,677 american dollars ) but in the us is only worth US 46,900 dollars which is only ( rm 145,390 ) pffttt so cheap in the USA !! see the difference ! a Malaysian who buys a bmw here in MY is probably richer than an American who buys it there ! damn cheap in the USA ! haha
do the 320d !
do u have 520i?
Sony DSC-HX7V
The steering wheel is in the wrong place...
Why do you need a 8 speed in diesels !
Just leave the station on 89.9 please
i enjoy your videos but you really should have turned off the radio while speaking !
my father bought this car for me at $ 80,000 equivalent value in Korean WON. yes~~~ Tax is 100% added along with other additional charges. My Dad's 7 Series cost him $ 200,000. So you get the picture.
+Christopher Kim Rich boy ;)
+Christopher Kim why are taxes so high in korea? is it only for foreign brands?
Yes. Especially High on German cars. Government has been doing so thus domestic companies can keep developing their cars Hyundai and Kia without having to worry about comepetiton due to huge price gap between them.
pft 100% tax dam. Apart from that shit, at least you gotta be grateful your dad is able to still buy these cars.
+Christopher Kim Stop lying Christopher, I got my 520d for about $60,000 with promotion in Korea and this price is tax included. and my friend got a 640d gran coupe with promotion for $ 80,000 and this price is tax included so it's either you are lying or your father has donated extra $20,000 to BMW. the exact tax for 520d in Korea is 11.9%., not 100% R U EVEN KOREAN KIM???
It sounded like you said foots like dorrals
(Y) getting the 528i soon WEEEE~~~~~
