Anyone heard/seen video of the 520D G30 ?
I have only seen / heard the 530D and 540i models in the reviews.
I have the 2011/2 F10 520D which does sound very diesel like... I recall the LCI version in 2013+ (?) was built to sound better.... and does But I am keen to hear what the new 520D sounds like.... Thanks

The 520d has the same 190HP engine as it did in the f10 since 07/14.
So I'd expect a similar sound.

...but did some reviews not remark about the improved soundproofing in the G30 which enhances refinement compared to the F10? The B47 190bhp engine from 2014 was significantly improved over the old N47 184bhp, and not just tge small power increase..

I have both the 2013 520d and the 07/2014 LCI 502d and the difference is minimal. The engines look different though, with the latter looking smaller The biggest difference in behaviour is a better start/stop system (you feel the stop and start less).

I've just drove 520d xDrive. I checked it both in the city and on highway. And it is really quiet. When standing at the traffic lights I thought the engine is off; it wasn't. On the other hand when doing 160km/h (100mph) the silence was enough for whispering inside. Really impressive. I'm curious how 540i sounds...
Generally, the car is very comfortable and even in case of 4-cylinder diesel it is not far away from G11/G12 in terms of comfort. |

Overall, my general impression is: G30 is like a "little tank of Lieutenant Gruber" from 'Allo allo' sitcom It is definetely closer to the G11/G12 than to its predecessor (F10), but of course you don't feel as if driving such a big or heavy car. |
