The BMW 5 SERIES (1996-03) 525D 5DR TOURING 2.5D ES is a large diesel estate, built for drivers who want executive-car comfort with useful room for passengers and luggage. In the UK market, it sits above ordinary family estates as a premium used car, with five doors and a practical Touring body. mycarcheck.com has recorded just one check for this exact version, covering one VIN, so its figures are a small snapshot rather than a reliable guide to every car. That record showed an average private-sale valuation of £1,000 and most recent mileage of 204,000 miles; average annual mileage was 9,000. It also showed nine previous keepers on average, making careful checks of history and condition especially worthwhile. It suits families, commuters and touring drivers needing space and long-distance comfort; compared with Audi A6 and Mercedes E-Class estates, it offers a distinctly driver-focused feel, but age and mileage matter most.
