Description

This 2008 BMW 5 Series 520d SE offers a composed and refined driving experience. The punchy 2.0-litre diesel delivers smooth, linear torque and the six-speed manual lets you work through the gears with precision. Servotronic steering and well-weighted controls give confident feel at speed, while the suspension balances ride comfort and cornering stability.

Inside, the beige Dakota leather seats and thoughtful trim create a premium cabin that remains durable for daily use. Practical touches like the through-load system and heated front seats add everyday convenience, while the generous boot and efficient diesel economy make longer journeys effortless. With full service history and a recent MOT, it’s a practical executive saloon.
