For sale is my BMW 520d.
I have owned this car for all but 2 years and 40,000 miles, but have decided it is time for something newer.
Car has never let me down and has been used for a 150 mile round trip daily commute, but also been 500+ mile round trips when needed.
Car is extremely comfortable and economical, often returning 55+mpg on a run.

Car had recent set of pads too but not documented.
I installed a Apple carplay integrated head unit so I have access to Apples maps when travelling for work. I have the original if you wish to put it back, that will come with the car.
Engine feels strong, runs sweetly and would do the mileage again twice over.
Bad bits:
- Car has started to vibrate sometimes between 1500-2000 rpm when maintaining speed (Fine when accelerating), I'm no mechanic but I think the car would benefit with a gearbox service to address this.
- Car shows it's age in overall condition, there are a few marks and dings that can be seen and the car has had the odd bit of paintwork in it's life.
- There is a gearbox all "mist" it doesn't leave drip marks underneath (Common BMW problem I'm told)
- Batteries in the keys are weak so when locking/unlocking you need to be close to the car.
- Rear tyres are close to the wear markers, between 2-3mm, Fronts are 3mm.
I've tried to be as honest as I can, please bear in mind this is now an 18 year old family car so please align your expectations as such.
