BMW 530d M Sport Launched; Old 530d Discontinued

BMW India has introduced its latest offering to the Indian auto market in the form of a new trim level for its 5-Series line-up; the 530d M Sport. The new 530d M Sport will replace the currently existing BMW 530d which will still be on the sales shelf until stocks are depleted. The new 530d M Sport comes with a price tag of Rs. 51.99 lakh (Ex-showroom, Mumbai). However, for the moment dealers are offering an initial discount of Rs. 3 lakh in order to entice more buyers.

The new 530d M Sport houses the same 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder diesel mill as the no discontinued one with the same 258bhp power output as before. However, the M Sport package does add to the looks and feel of the car. The interiors feature a multi-functional steering wheel wrapped in leather, M sport seats for driver and co-passenger, door sills with the ‘M’ badge and a special anthracite color headliner as part of the seat package. The i-Drive system is now featured on a bigger 10.2 inch LCD display screen.

The M Sport package also adds 18-inch alloys, special carbon black metallic paint plus a high gloss shadow line trim, an aerodynamics package with side skirts and a chrome tipped exhaust at the rear. Interestingly, the new 530d M Sport costs only Rs. 49,000 more than the older 530d!
