The BMW 5 SERIES (1996-03) 520I 5DR TOURING 2.0 SE is a large, premium five-door estate, offering a spacious alternative to the saloon while retaining executive-car comfort. In the UK used market, it sits above mainstream family estates, appealing to buyers who want an enjoyable long-distance car with useful luggage space. The mycarcheck.com picture comes from just three checks and three different cars, so it is only a small sample. Average recorded mileage is 143,000, annual mileage 3,000, and previous keepers six; average private-sale valuation is £700. These figures are context, not a guaranteed price or condition assessment. The 520i Touring suits families and commuters needing extra room. Its comfortable cabin, useful load space and smooth petrol performance make it well suited to longer trips. More upmarket and engaging than mainstream estates, it can cost more to maintain with age, so check service history and condition carefully before buying this BMW.
