Caralogy Methodology
Performance (0-100, top speed) simulated by the Caralogy physics engine (SCx, Crr, real torque curves). Motorway consumption values estimated from the manufacturer WLTP cycle.
See full methodologyManufacturer data · WLTP-estimated consumption · Caralogy-simulated performance
Among the 18 grand tourers, the 520d ranks (top 4 in segment) in fuel consumption. Caralogy simulates its real-world cost: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.
Tailored to this vehicle?
Good compromise for regular use without available charging infrastructure. 4th of 18 in Combined consumption (5.6 L/100).
If the priority is Combined consumption, the Mercedes E 220 d (1st with 5.4 L/100) takes the lead. If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Audi RS6 Performance Avant (1st with 3.4 s) takes the lead.
Fuel consumption: 5.6 L/100 L/100 (4th of 18 in Combined consumption)
The 520d consumes 5.6 L/100 on the WLTP combined cycle. The segment reference is the Mercedes E 220 d (5.4 L/100).

BMW 520d: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Where does the 520d rank in its segment?
Among the 18 grand tourers 2023–2027, the 520d ranks 4th of 18 in Combined consumption (5.6 L/100, behind the Mercedes E 220 d), 11th of 18 in 0–100 km/h (7.3 s, behind the Audi RS6 Performance Avant).
How much does the 520d cost to run?
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
Why not a Mercedes E 220 d instead?
The Mercedes E 220 d leads in Combined consumption (5.4 L/100 vs 5.6 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 520d vs Mercedes E 220 d duel for a detailed comparison.
How does Caralogy calculate its figures?
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
