BMW 520i M sport touring with Sport (Paddleshift) auto transmission LOW MILES

The BMW 5 Series Touring is comfortable and packed with technology, and proves it’s possible for estates to be desirable and practical.”
The practical boot is just one reason why the BMW 5 Series Touring is desirable. This elegant and spacious estate looks good and is built at least as well as anything else in the class. It's comfortable to ride in and relaxing to drive, while the rear seats in particular offer plenty of room. The large tailgate provides access to a vast boot, which BMW has made extra-practical by adding plenty of storage and tie-down solutions to stop bulky loads moving around.
Petrol engines range from the 520i through the 528i to the menacing 535i Equipment across all models includes the basics for an executive car, such as leather seats and a Bluetooth phone connection, as well as climate and cruise control. Safety is well covered, too, with numerous systems to keep you on the road and stop you from hitting anything else, as well as plenty of airbags to keep you safe if you’re unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident.

Exterior
Some people might accuse the 5 Series Touring of looking a little conservative, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a smart-looking car. The powerful creases through the bonnet and down the sides of the car deliver a muscular appearance, and the standard xenon headlamps and LED tail lights mean that other road-users will definitely see you coming. The aesthetic finish of your 5 Series will depend on which trim level you select. Luxury and Modern trims have more external chrome trims than SE models, while M Sport versions have a sporty body kit.
Interior
The interior of the 5 Series is every bit as sumptuous as you’d expect – and then some. Everywhere you look, the materials are stunning to look at and pleasant to touch, and the quality of the assembly is pretty much flawless. The various switches and dials feel slick and sturdy, too, which adds to the high quality feel. The 5 Series comes with BMW’s iDrive interface as standard, which allows you to operate the car’s numerous functions by scrolling though on-screen menus with a central dial. The system is simply brilliant thanks to clear, logical menus and sharp graphics. The massive amount of adjustment makes it easy to find a comfy driving position, and all-round visibility is clear. Practicality The boot of the Touring is suitably big at 560 litres, and the cargo bay can also be extended to 1670 litres by dropping the rear seats. There’s no shortage of passenger space inside the 5 Series, with plentiful headroom and legroom in both the front and the back. There’s enough shoulder room for three to fit across the rear bench, too, but it’s not the most comfortable car to travel five-up in. The guy in the middle has to sit on a hard-raised seat and straddle a wide transmission tunnel, while those either side will have to sit partly on an awkwardly angled bolster on the side of the seat.
Ride and handling
With the M sport suspension the car rides with a suppleness that’d put most luxury limousines to shame, yet feels crisp and agile in bends. These aren’t cheap options, but were definitely worth spending the extra.
Running costs
The star performers for efficiency are the 518d and 520d, both of which will return an official average of almost 60mpg, and release CO2 at a rate that places them in an impressively low band for company car tax. Plus, the same figures are achieved with both the standard six-speed manual gearbox and the optional eight-speed automatic. All the other engines are impressively efficient compared with like-for-like offerings from other manufacturers, too. Purchase prices are generally on a par with those of the Audi A6 Avant, and cheaper than those of the Mercedes E-Class Estate. The Beemer’s strong image and desirable badge will also ensure that resale values will remain strong.SafetyThe 5 Series comes with all the safety aids you expect. You get six airbags as standard, plus a host of electronic assistance systems that includes stability control. In fact, the 5 Series scored 100% in the Safety Assist section of Euro NCAP’s crash test, and achieved the full five-star rating overall.Equipment Base-level SE trim comes with all the stuff you really need, including alloys, climate control air-conditioning, front and rear parking sensors, automatic lights and wipers, part-electric front seats, leather upholstery and an infotainment system that comprises Bluetooth, a DAB radio and satellite navigation. Modern models comes with a range of styling touches inside and out, while Luxury models also add an upgraded sat-nav, a 20GB hard drive and voice control. M Sport cars get a bunch of sportier aesthetic upgrades, plus a sports suspension.
Why buy?
The BMW 5 Series Touring gives you undeniable desirability and exemplary quality whichever version you buy. Choose the right engine, and you’ll also get a brilliant balance of performance and economy. Choose the right suspension options, and your car will be the finest driving car in the class, too, with a slick ride and sharp handling. So, there are important choices to be made, then, but get it right, and you’ll absolutely love your car.
