The BMW 5 SERIES (2007-10) 525D 4DR SALOON 3.0 197 SE BUSINESS EDITION 6SPD is a large executive saloon, designed for comfortable long-distance travel rather than city-car duties. In the UK used-car market, it sits among premium family and business cars, offering more space and refinement than a typical hatchback. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 13 checks covering eight distinct VINs, a modest sample, not a broad picture. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £2,900 and average recorded mileage of 156,000 miles. Average annual use is 6,000 miles, with about 3.7 previous keepers, useful context when assessing an individual car. Its six-speed gearbox and diesel engine suit commuters, business users and families wanting motorway journeys, rear-seat space and a boot. It is known for a composed, engaging drive and premium feel beside mainstream saloons such as the Ford Mondeo, though age and mileage make condition and service history worth checking.
