As hard as it is to push the
“cool" factor behind the wheel of
a 5-door station wagon, the 53()xi
is drenched in “coolness” , esp e
cially when equipped with the
BM W 's sport package. This silky
dynam o pulls strongly off-the-
line and right through posted
highway speeds without break

the shortages o f a wagon by

center of gravity, the Sports Wagon
would be a superior winter driving
choice even over most SLJVs. An
other unique feature of the 530xi
when equipped with the manual
gearbox is the vehicle’s ability to
resist rolling backward on an in
cline as the clutch is being released.
This is referred to as “Start-Off
Assist" and is extremely useful
when creeping forward on a hill or
moving out of a cramped parallel

two thumbs up on the review

having been released in June

a driving experience!
