BMW 5 SERIES (2003-07) 523I 5DR TOURING 2.5 SPORT AUTO is a roomy, premium estate that combines executive-car comfort with useful load space. It sits above mainstream family estates in the UK used-car market, offering an appealing alternative to a saloon for buyers needing greater versatility without choosing an SUV. Mycarcheck.com records 13 look-ups across five distinct VINs, so the sample is limited. The average private-sale valuation is £1,800, with average recorded mileage of 114,000 miles and annual mileage of 4,000. Checks show an average of about 7.6 previous keepers, worth bearing in mind when assessing each car’s history. It suits families, commuters and drivers wanting space for work, weekends and shopping. Its six-cylinder petrol engine delivers smooth, eager performance, though fuel costs exceed those of smaller estates. Against the Audi A6 Avant and Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate, it is known for engaging road manners and premium practicality and versatility.
