Could suit you if…
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need room for several children or extra passengers: the seat count is not recorded. Confirm this exact version's seats and child-seat fit; do not assume from the model name.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 10 years old and 92,492 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
This is the F10-generation 5 Series (2010–2017) — 2016 cars are typically the LCI/facelift-era models and commonly fitted with BMW's ZF 8-speed automatic and the later B47 2.0‑litre diesel in 520d variants, which corrected many earlier N47 timing-chain issues. Important diesel-specific items are the DPF and EGR systems: they cope well when the car gets regular long runs but can block if used only for short urban trips. The ZF automatic is robust but benefits from recorded gearbox fluid/valve-body service at intervals rather than relying on 'lifetime' fluid claims.
- Road‑test for the ZF 8‑speed auto: smooth, prompt shifts with no hunting or hard kicks; ask for any documented transmission fluid/service history.
- DPF/EGR condition: look for recent regenerations, warning lights, excessive smoke on boost or a history of short UK/urban only ownership.
- Turbocharger play and boost leaks: listen for whistle/squeal under acceleration and check for oil in intercooler piping.
- Sooty injector symptoms and oil contamination: black smoke on acceleration or rapid oil level rise can indicate injector/combustion issues.
- Suspension and steering: check for knocking from front/rear bushings and any uneven tyre wear or creaks from control-arm/track-rod joints.
