After 71,000 miles the self levelling suspension has collapsed leaving me a £1,000 estimated bill to fix it. When my mechanic described the Heath Robinson system BMW use I was not surprised . My last BMW !

The 530gt takes take to get to know. It is fast and economical but unlike my previous 5s in encourages you to take your time and relax. But you then realise your journey is just as quick. It cossets you in the most wonderful interior with sunlight streaming from the panoramic roof. Only downsides are its ride which is poor on small wheels and it eats tyres!
