I would dearly love to buy one of these - I am curious what the 520d will set you back when it arrives in the country.

BMW M5 leaks ahead of reveal
A factory insider has leaked CGI renderings of the front and rear styling of the next BMW M5, ahead of the car's expected unveiling early in 2017
The BMW M5 has been revealed in images leaked by a company employee.
Full front and rear styling renderings of the car show the performance saloon's bumper treatment. The images were first revealed to a host of ‘The Cammed & Tubbed Podcast’.
The M5 is expected to be revealed in pre-production form at the Geneva motor show in March of 2017. BMW plans to launch the car far earlier in the next-generation 5 Series’s life cycle than it has with previous generations. The model will go on sale in the following months.
Just as the 5 Series underwent a subtle styling overhaul between this generation and the next, the new M5 appears to be fairly restrained when compared with the more extreme M4. However, more significant updates have taken place under the bonnet.
Leaked documents recently revealed that the M5’s closest rival, the Mercedes-AMG E 63, will produce 603bhp and 627lb ft. It’s expected that the M5 will closely match these figures, using an updated version of the current car’s 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine mated to a seven-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox.
It’s also believed that the next generation M5 will be the first non-SUV M car available with all-wheel drive as an option. It is understood that BMW is concentrating on making the next M5 more driveable, with more mechanical grip and improved traction thanks to the xDrive four-wheel drive system and revised engine mapping.
The optional xDrive would add to what is expected to be a £75,000 starting price for the new M5. That figure represents a slight increase over the current car.

The new BMW 530e sips at a claimed 2,0 L/100 km...
BMW officially revealed its next-generation 5 Series a couple of weeks ago with several engine options, including this one: the plug-in hybrid 530e.
With 185 kW and 420 N.m of torque on offer from the turbocharged 2,0-litre engine and the 9,2 kWh battery-powered electric motor, it seems this is the same powertrain found in the BMW 330e (although the 3 Series uses a 7,6 kWh battery pack).
Power is delivered to the wheels through an eight-speed transmission, allowing the plug-in hybrid to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6,2 seconds. Top speed should be the same as the 330e’s 225 km/h, with a maximum EV speed of 140 km/h.
The 530e features an EV range of 45 kilometres and a claimed hybrid fuel consumption of 2,0 L/100 km. Battery levels can be monitored via the My BMW Remote App for Android and iOS devices.
International sales for the 530e are slated for the second quarter of 2017. BMW South Africa has confirmed that the 530e is indeed scheduled to be offered locally, although we’ll have to wait until next year to find out about pricing.
