The Appeal

The E60 ushered in a new style and high-tech approach to the 5-Series lineage. These cars still look good and their comfort and durability make them great dailies, even 20 years after they left the production line.

This 525i SE is that rare thing, a very low mileage E60 with just two keepers from new and full service history. It has only ever been serviced by min dealers and marque specialists. The car uses the firm’s excellent N52 straight six with a healthy 220bhp on tap. Enthusiasts will note the rare 6spd manual box.

The car is in very good condition and comes to market with less than 2,000 miles since its last service in 2024 and current MOT to May 2025. There is even a distinctive ‘BMW’ plate included.
