The so-badged 530i Touring comes with 250hp 2.0-litre petrol-turbo engine, against the 190hp or so 2.0-litre diesel-turbo motors of its two rivals. Sure, the 5 Series Touring won’t have that big cabin of the bigger 6 Series GT, but it still has enough space for all passengers. By the way, the fifth occupant will find a more comfortable perch in the 5 Series Touring. And while the 530i Touring looks as fine value against the E220d, it’s considerably dearer than the spec-laden V90. At least, the 530i Touring comes in M Sport trim featuring nice-looking alloys and interior trim, as well as tan leather as seen this test car.
