Autocar Test - Facelifted 530i





A mildly facelifted new BMW 5-series (fresh from a record sales year), with redesigned lights and bumpers. Inside, there are new door panels, a re-jigged centre console layout and some upgraded materials.

Detail changes are more significant. Petrol engines get latest-generation direct-injection.

Small roadtest, small pics.

Re: Autocar Test - Facelifted 530i

I liked the pre-facelift better. However the interior looks rather clean!
