Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Crown than the BMW 530, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the BMW 530 and the Toyota Crown in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW 530 as you will with the Toyota Crown, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The BMW 530 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Crown, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW 530 is much wider than the Toyota Crown, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the BMW 530 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Crown.

The BMW 530 has a larger turning radius than the Toyota Crown, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the BMW 530 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Toyota Crown.
