What's the difference?
Hello, I would like to know if the BMW 520d EfficientDynamics is much different to drive than the regular 520d please. I prefer manual transmission and 17-inch wheels are fine but I have read that they are different to drive and would like to know your advice thanks.
Our answer:
Hi Sarah,
I have driven both versions and there really is virtually no difference between them. As you pointed out, if you're happy with the manual gearbox then that's that.
Hope this has been reassuring?
