Further information about the official fuel consumption and the official specific CO₂ emissions for new passenger automobiles can be found in the "New Passenger Vehicle Fuel Consumption and CO₂ Emission Guidelines", which are available free of charge at all sales outlets and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern, Germany.

The BMW 520d is scheduled to be available as of the third quarter of 2010. The fuel consumption values are therefore preliminary and are not yet official.

All petrol engines meet the EU5 emissions standard. When combined with BluePerformance, the BMW 530d meets the EU6 emissions standard. Fuel consumption is determined in accordance with the ECE driving cycle (93/116/EG) made up of approximately one third urban traffic and two thirds extra-urban driving (based on the distance covered). CO2 emissions are measured in addition to fuel consumption as such. Fuel consumption levels are calculated based on vehicles with standard equipment. Special equipment (e.g. wider tyres) can have a significant impact on fuel consumption levels.

The height with a roof aerial measures 1,475 mm.
