Used BMW 5 Series 2003 – Buyer’s Guide

Why buy a Used BMW 5 Series?

The last generation E60 5-Series is a remarkable car. Controversially styled both inside and out when launched, but as a result, it still looks contemporary.

A joy to drive, the 5-Series offers classic BMW driving characteristics and is the best handling car in its class by some margin. It is roomy inside and offers class leading engines - the only weak spot is the ride on the bigger run-flat tyres.

I’ve seen several Used BMW 5 Series for sale, which should I buy?

BMW's range of 2.0 and 3.0 diesel engines set the benchmark for power and economy. The 2.0 diesel offers a very refined 150BHP and 45 MPG. However the petrols are smooth, economical and cheaper. The lovely 2.2 straight 6 petrol will do 31MPG.

An early petrol saloon is the best way to get into an E60 5 series. The petrol cars cost less to service and roughly the same to insure. Avoid Sport spec - SE gives a much better ride. Early cars are only 4 star NCAP rated.


Fault Checks for the BMW 5 Series

I’ve seen a Used BMW 5 Series for sale, what is a good price?

Pay up to £8000 for a seven year old 520I with around 65,000 miles showing and get yourself one of the best executive saloons ever built. A nearly new 530D with around 15,000 miles will cost £30,000.

Late model cars are just about to go through the first MOT so wait until the car is at least 3 years old. This is the best time to buy any model. After the initial hit at 3 years all models lose value gently.
