The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the BMW 525 is 8.6 seconds. The BMW 525 model is positioned as a mid-to-large-sized sedan, featuring a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. Taking the 2021 BMW 525 as an example, its dimensions are: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm, with a wheelbase of 3105mm, a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters, and a curb weight of 1705kg. The 2021 BMW 525 is equipped with a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.

I've been driving a BMW 525 for several years, and it typically takes about 8.1 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 100 kilometers per hour. The official data is based on test results from the 2020 model with a 2.0T turbocharged engine. In actual driving, it performs adequately on both city streets and highways, with smooth throttle response and no hesitation when overtaking. The engine delivers 184 horsepower, weighs 1700kg, and the rear-wheel-drive design ensures stable starts, though it might feel a bit slower in rainy conditions due to reduced tire grip. Fuel consumption averages around 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers, making it quite suitable for daily commutes, though it can't match the thrill of electric or sports cars. On highways, the car feels powerful, and running the air conditioning doesn't noticeably affect acceleration. Overall, this car offers good value for money with moderate maintenance costs. Regular tire replacements and check-ups help maintain its factory performance.
