The BMW 5 SERIES (1996-03) 520I 4DR SALOON 2.0 is a large, four-door executive saloon from BMW’s well-regarded 5 Series range. In the UK used-car market it sits above ordinary family saloons, offering a more spacious, comfortable feel for longer journeys. Its understated styling and classic premium-car appeal still attract buyers. Mycarcheck.com has recorded only three checks, covering three different VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot rather than a market-wide guide. Those cars averaged £700 in private-sale value, 114,000 miles, around 1,000 miles a year and just over five previous keepers. The low annual mileage may suggest occasional use, while the keeper count makes checking history and condition especially important. Best suited to drivers seeking comfort, it serves couples or families, but age and running costs matter. The 520i offers handling and a smooth engine, competing well with Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6 saloons for an involving drive.
