2008 BMW 520D

Description

2008 BMW 520D

155000 miles approx, will rise as still in use.

MOT until Oct 2025

Have owned this vehicle since June 23 have loved every minute of it. Its never failed on me, left me stranded etc. Probably the most reliable car I have ever owned.

Has the Aero body kit fitted as standard and the M5 rear bumper to allow for the quad exhausts. Exhaust were fitted previous to my ownership and were mapped to the vehicle, eliminating the DPF. Never been an issue on MOT and makes a lovely sound. Very deceiving for a 2ltr, she's also quicker than your average 5 series thanks to the map.

The all black colour scheme and tinted windows really make it stand out, especially in the evening with its amber running lights and pure white HID headlights.

Anyone who knows the engines in these bmws will know the chain is a concern as they stretch and the labour bill is quite high due to it being up against the bulkhead and a pain to do, however, this vehicle has had all new timing chain and accessories along with clutch kit and DMF at around 130k miles, previous to me owning it, this was one of the reasons I bought it!

Aswell as looking and driving nice, it has all the usual accessories you would expect of a BMW 5 series... on board computer, cd player, heads up display, power seats, windows and mirrors. Auto wipers, cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, hill start etc. Also has the folding rear seats with the ski hatch which is an extra from the factory. Very handy to have and a rarety on a BMW.

The vehicle was involved in an accident at some point in its life and is categorised as a Cat S. It has obviously been repaired to a high standard and returned to the road. In my 2 years of ownership I am unable to find evidence of what the accident was exactly nor has it affected the ride or ever caused me issues on MOTs or insurance.

During my ownership I have serviced it twice a year, replaced the front discs and pads at the start of 2025 along with a track rod end and suspension strut on the passenger side aswell as having the propshaft refurbished.

Sale of the vehicle will include the rear discs and pads, drivers side suspension strut and a few other bits. I bought the front and rear brakes as a set and the suspension struts as a pair but they don't need changing at the moment. Pointless swapping out good parts!

Only negative point really is the lacquer peel which I have photographed on the boot lid. Could be resprayed cheaply enough or as I was going to do, swap it straight out for a second hand one in the same colour. I recently found one from a breakers on Ebay for 80 quid bare...

Lots of paperwork included for all work mentioned, V5 present and in my name along with the most recent and previous MOTs.

Has 1 key.

Looking for £2000 but will consider sensible offers.

Collection from Hyde in Manchester.
