Comparison Review

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

Convenience
With the BMW 530 you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Acura TLX, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
