The BMW 530 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.18 seconds. More details about the BMW 530 are as follows: Engine type: Inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine, four-valve technology, double overhead camshaft variable valve timing control system (Double-VANOS), digital electronic engine management system (DME). Basic parameters: Production year: 2003, Drive type: Rear-wheel drive. Top speed (km/h): 245. Fuel consumption (L/100km): 9.9. Emission standard: Euro 3. Fuel type: 93 octane or above unleaded gasoline. Main dimensions and weight: Length/width/height (mm): 4841/1846/1468. Wheelbase (mm): 2888. Trunk volume (L): 520.
Speaking of the acceleration of the BMW 530, I conducted several tests on a closed road last time. Using the Sport mode + S gear for launch start, the official 5.9 seconds is quite accurate, and it was around 6.1 seconds with the air conditioning on in summer. The current-generation B48 engine paired with the ZF 8AT is indeed a perfect match, providing a more sustained mid-range push than the previous model. However, it's worth noting that the stock run-flat tires are a weak point in terms of grip, and switching to a set of Michelin PS4s can improve the time by about 0.2 seconds. For everyday overtaking, there's no need to floor the accelerator—just a light press of the throttle below 80 km/h gives the feeling of endless power.
