BMW 520d M Sport Touring — Bluestone Metallic There's real presence to this BMW 520d M Sport Touring in Bluestone Metallic, a deep, purposeful blue that suits the 5 Series' understated, executive stance perfectly. Sitting on 19" Double Spoke alloy wheels and finished with the M Sport Plus package, this Touring blends genuine road presence with the practicality that makes the 5 Series estate such a popular choice for business and family life alike. Step inside and you're greeted by Black Dakota leather upholstery, giving the cabin a genuinely premium, tactile feel that lifts it well above the standard cloth or leatherette trims found lower down the range. The M Sport Plus package builds further on the core M Sport specification, typically adding niceties such as heated front seats, a Harman Kardon surround sound system, and an upgraded ambient lighting setup, layering extra comfort and technology on top of the M Sport's sportier styling cues, including its aerodynamic bumpers, M Sport suspension and gloss black exterior detailing. A reversing camera is also fitted, taking the stress out of parking and manoeuvring a car of this size. Under the bonnet is BMW's 2.0-litre mild-hybrid turbodiesel four-cylinder engine, producing 190PS (187bhp) and 400Nm of torque, driving the rear wheels through a smooth 8-speed Steptronic automatic gearbox. Performance is strong for a diesel executive estate, with 0-62mph covered in around 7.6 seconds and a top speed of 140mph, while the mild-hybrid assistance helps deliver genuinely impressive efficiency: BMW's official WLTP combined figure stands at 54.3mpg, with CO2 emissions of 135g/km — competitive numbers for a car this capable and well equipped. As you'd expect of a car in M Sport specification, it also benefits from the wider M Sport equipment list, including M Sport suspension for sharper, more controlled handling, an M Sport steering wheel, and the M Aerodynamics styling package that gives the Touring its distinctive, purposeful stance. Combined with the Touring body's generous 560-litre boot, this 520d makes a genuinely compelling case as a car that's as usable day-to-day as it is enjoyable to drive.
