The BMW 5 SERIES (2010-13) 535I 4DR SALOON 3.0 SS 306 EU5 SE 6SPD is a premium four-door executive saloon, not a hatchback or SUV. It offers generous space for passengers and luggage, while its strong petrol engine gives this 5 Series a livelier character than the more economical versions. It suits commuting, motorway journeys and family use, for drivers valuing acceleration and comfort over low running costs. SE trim gives it an understated, well-equipped feel, while the six-speed manual adds driver involvement. Check condition, service history and fuel costs: this is a powerful premium car, not an economy choice. Against the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the BMW is prized for a more engaging drive while retaining executive comfort. mycarcheck.com has one lookup for this version, covering one VIN, so figures are indicative only: £7,800 average private-sale value, 43,000 miles and one previous keeper. The annual mileage is 1,000.
