Description
2009 (59) BMW 520d M Sport Touring E61 LCI - Midnight Blue**
I have owned this for 9 years. Mechanically always looked after properly. Loads of history.
Bad bits: scratches on front right of bumper. Also rear right bumper scratch/paintwork damage. (Please see pics)
Good bits: Genuine private sale - late facelift E61 in one of the best colours. Just spend 600 sorting rear air suspension and water pump.
**Key details:**
- **Reg:** YH59 FLA (September 2009 - proper LCI model with updated lights, iDrive, etc.)
- **Colour:** Midnight Blue Metallic (A76) - looks almost black until the sun hits it, then it's stunning
- **Engine:** 2.0 diesel (177 bhp, N47) - smooth, quiet and easily 50-55 mpg on a run
- **Gearbox:** 6-speed ZF automatic (no paddles - standard M Sport wheel)
- **Mileage:** 180956
- **MOT:** March 2026
**M Sport specification & extras:**
- Staggered 19 MV2 alloys (Style 135M) - the best-looking wheels BMW ever put on an E61
- Full black leather interior
- M Aerodynamic package + Shadowline black trim
- Xenon headlights
- Front & rear parking sensors (PDC)
- Bluetooth telephone prep
- Auto wipers & dimming rear-view mirror
Drives exactly as a good E61 should: tight, quiet, effortless cruising and still turns heads everywhere. Cheap tax (160 band) and brilliant real-world economy.
Only selling because of new electric vehicle through work.
car will be on original YH59 FLA plate.
**Price: 1750
