Which 5 Series costs €190 a year?
I am thinking of buying a 142 5 series. I am being the road tax is euro 190 could this be a 518D instead of a 520D which one is it
Our answer:
Hi Eamonn,
We can’t say for sure either way I’m afraid — both the 518d and 520d have identical CO2 emissions of 119g/km when fitted with a manual gearbox, which incidentally should mean a tax cost of €200 per annum, so to qualify for €190 tax, you’d have to be under the 110g/km figure.
