The BMW 5 SERIES (2007-10) 520D 5DR TOURING 2.0 177 SE is a premium five-door estate, offering a practical alternative to a saloon rather than an SUV or hatchback. It belongs to the UK executive-car class, blending useful luggage space with a more refined feel than many mainstream family estates. Families, commuters and frequent travellers will value its roomy cabin and boot, suited to school runs, holidays and longer drives. The diesel combines everyday pace with good economy, while SE specification prioritises comfort. It feels more upmarket than mainstream estates and competes directly with premium German alternatives in its class. mycarcheck.com records 868 look-ups covering 282 distinct VINs, a substantial sample, with checks dating back to February 2021.
