It can hit 220kmh easily but anything more than that will require a longer road(or angin tolak <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />). When i say easily, I really mean it... the speedo meter will just go up till 220kmh and if you want anything more than 220kmh, it will take a while. If you are on speed (say > 130kmh) and when you accelerate, there aren't that many cars that can play catch up with you. i have not squared it against 525. i do believe the 525 will have higher top speed, but the torque of the diesel will allow you to pull away from a 525 but only till a point where the 525 can catch up(which is 210-220) and go beyond that.i'm not sure how to word it but the suspension is kinda sucky. i don't have confident to go high speed all the time. at times, it feels like a whale, will change it when the time comes.why am i comparing with a 525? well, since that is the next best thing a 5 series can have and the 520d is more like the underdog(raw and brutal). I think it can be a fair comparison.btw, this is IMHO. those driving 525, please do not get offended ok. i'm impressed with the s-6 that you guys have compare to 4 potter(sounded raw).</blockquote>
