Thaiyotakamli Supersonic April 3, 2014 Share April 3, 2014 BMW 5 series vs XC60? BMW 5 consider downgraded? I would say upgrade. Somehow i see volvo as a level below merc and bmw. Moreover xc60 is not the biggest suv of volvo. The new 5 series does cost more than XC60 and of course more options and higher level of luxury.

Upgrade or downgrade is subjective to different prospective,Price & brand wise BMW 5 is expensive than xc60 now, but talk about off road function and driving fun, xc60(T6 AWD)as a full size SUV, definitely wins over BMW 5, In term of from SUV to saloon, downgrade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time I drive slow anyway, but I can always throw in another 30bhp for $2k+ by adding a piggyback tune. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk-Warrior Neutral Newbie May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 Hi everyone, I have the new XC60 for about 7 months. Everything was good except for the fuel consumption which is 6-7km/lit that is very discouraging to enjoy the high specs of this SUV. My friend shared with me that he had his BMW 523i software tuned by some freelance engineers and it improves the fuel economy a lot. I wonder if anyone had any experience about this and if there is such a program for Volvo? Thanks to share. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
