The BMW 5 SERIES (2007-10) 525D 4DR SALOON 3.0 197 SE BUSINESS EDITION STEP AUTO is a large, premium four-door saloon, aimed at buyers wanting more space and comfort than a family hatchback.

With a 3.0-litre diesel and automatic gearbox, this 525d is known for relaxed cruising and confident power. The SE Business Edition prioritises comfort, making it well suited to commuters, families and regular motorway drivers who appreciate its ride and boot.
