Detailed analysis of the BMW 520d Touring · 184 CV (2012-2013)
General description
The 2012 BMW 5 Series Touring is the embodiment of perfect balance. A premium estate that does not renounce the sportiness inherent to the Bavarian brand. With its 184-horsepower diesel engine, this 520d presents itself as an incredibly logical and passionate option, a car capable of devouring kilometers with superb elegance and efficiency, carrying the whole family and their luggage effortlessly.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel is a connecting experience. The 380 Nm of torque push forcefully from very low revs, making every acceleration a pleasure. Despite its size and weight, it feels agile and planted on the road thanks to its rear-wheel drive and a sublime chassis. The double-wishbone suspension on both axles masterfully filters out imperfections but communicates everything necessary to feel the asphalt. It's a car that invites you to drive, to enjoy every curve, combining the comfort of a luxury sedan with the soul of a sports car.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is a timeless work of art. The proportions are perfect, with a long hood and a muscular yet elegant rear that flows naturally. It's not just a practical car; it's a sculpture in motion. Inside, quality envelops you. The cabin is driver-oriented, with noble materials and an impeccable fit that conveys solidity. The space is generous, and its 560-liter trunk demonstrates a functional intelligence that you fall in love with in daily life.
Technology and features
For its time, the 520d Touring was at the forefront. The 2.0-liter diesel engine with common-rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and Start-Stop system was a marvel of efficiency, achieving consumption figures of just 4.9 l/100km. The speed-sensitive electric power steering and the iDrive system for managing infotainment were technologies that defined the premium driving experience, making every journey safer and more connected.
Competition
In the pantheon of premium estates, its direct rivals were the Audi A6 Avant and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate. The Audi competed with its Quattro all-wheel drive and a perhaps more technological focus on its interior, while the Mercedes has always been the benchmark for absolute ride comfort. However, the BMW always stood out for offering the purest and most rewarding drive of the trio, the car for those who truly enjoy being behind the wheel.
Conclusion
The BMW 520d Touring is much more than a family car. It is a statement of intent. It is proof that you can have it all: space, efficiency, luxury, and, above all, the driving pleasure that only BMW knows how to offer. An extraordinarily complete vehicle that, even today, remains an object of desire for its perfect balance between reason and emotion. A machine for creating memories with every kilometer.
