The BMW 5 SERIES SALOON (2013-17) 535D 4DR SALOON 3.0 DPF SS 313 EU6 M SPORT AUTO8 is a large, premium four-door saloon, aimed at buyers wanting executive comfort rather than a small runabout. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 3,004 checks covering 984 different VINs, a substantial sample that suggests continuing used-car interest. The average private-sale valuation in these checks is £13,100. With 313 horsepower and a smooth eight-speed automatic, this M Sport version pairs brisk, confident performance with a refined cabin and composed long-distance ride. It suits commuters covering motorway miles, company-car users and families seeking space, comfort and a sizeable boot, though its size and running costs are less ideal for tight city streets or budget motoring. Check history carefully: sampled cars average 82,000 miles, around 8,000 miles a year, and 2.7 previous keepers. Against Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class rivals, it offers strong diesel pace with a sportier edge.
