Tested
“Imagine driving a BMW 530e Sedan, a plug-in hybrid with all-wheel drive and automatic transmission. Equipped with M Sport package and black metallic paint, it gives a sober impression on the road. Full leather interior provides a luxurious feel while the sunroof lets in extra light. Harman/Kardon sound and adaptive cruise control make long trips comfortable, while the rearview camera helps you with parking. Inspected until October 2027 and stylish winter wheels included.”
