Carwow Germany tested this car and the brand new 520d with xDrive. Turns out the 2025 car consumed 6.4 liters on average while the 530d here only needed 0.2 more. And it was an automatic! Fascinating

But not surprising. Most diesel efficiency gains happened in 80s, 90s and early 2000s. After that it is mostly just more performance and ecology.

Yeah but inline 6 should at least be somewhat thirstier all things considered. Then again my 118d has its moments where it takes more than it should

It has 142kW/193PS. The displacement is rather 2.9 liters than 3, because it is 2926 ccm. Please correct it!
