Some pro's and con's on the BMW 530d xDrive sedan:


Pro:

• Good interior finish
• Good “HiFi” stereo system for a comparable low price (€590)
• Excellent comfort seats
• Excellent 3d navigation system
• Excellent handling
• Excellent acceleration even on a wet surface, due to the 4-wheel drive system “xDrive”

Con:

• Bad location of the cup holders, right in front of the airconditioning
• Somewhat high fuel consumption (9,7l / 100km), caused by the 4-wheel drive system and high weight
• Steep price

The co-drivers view: Randweg Eindhoven

Eindhoven has been a traditional bottleneck in the south of the Netherlands, but in the period from 2006 until 2010 massive construction works prepared the ring road around the city for the next century. However, the ring road still misses a crucial part on the eastern side, but money is already put aside and plans are made to consttruct the final part of the ring.

Please enjoy the view of a new stretch of road that resembles the current Dutch road design perfectly.
