Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the BMW 530 than in the Chevrolet Malibu, due to the BMW 530's smaller rear head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the BMW 530 and the Chevrolet Malibu 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 Chevrolet Malibu, 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 Chevrolet Malibu, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the BMW 530 is much wider than the Chevrolet Malibu, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW 530, which is slightly longer than the Chevrolet Malibu.
Handling
The BMW 530 has a larger turning radius than the Chevrolet Malibu, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW 530 has a much more powerful engine than the Chevrolet Malibu. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
Powertrain
The BMW 530 has much less torque than the Chevrolet Malibu, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW 530 and the Chevrolet Malibu.
