Description
BMW 520d SE Touring
2011 | 184bhp | Blue | Cream Leather | DE61 TVY
158k miles | MOT Oct 2026 | Tax February 2027
A well-loved, comprehensively maintained 520d SE Touring in blue with cream leather interior. I was planning to get another 100k out of her, but a change of life means a truck is more useful. I enjoyed getting into this car every single time; gave me a thrill! Old school Beamer when they made 5 series properly. Luxurious workhorse with a new towbar. Bargain of the century. Email for more details - full service history. All known potential issues have been fixed to future-proof her.
