A BIG BMW THAT COSTS LIKE A SMALL CAR TO RUN Finding a diesel 5 Series that's ULEZ compliant is rare – most 2012 diesels pay £12.50 a day to enter London. This one drives in free, averages around 50mpg, and has a full service history to back up its condition. It has covered mostly motorway miles, the gentlest miles a car can do. Steady speeds mean far less wear on the clutch, engine and suspension than a car used for short town trips. Step inside and you'll see why we rate this one so highly. The beige interior is genuinely immaculate, with no marks, no wear and no smells. It's one of the cleanest we've had through our doors, and the photos don't do it justice. THE DRIVE The 2.0 diesel produces 184bhp, giving effortless overtaking and relaxed, quiet motorway cruising. Combined with BMW's rear-wheel drive and a slick 6-speed manual gearbox, which is increasingly hard to find in a 5 Series, it's as rewarding on a country road as it is economical on the motorway. WHY BUY THIS CAR ✔ ULEZ compliant – confirmed via TfL vehicle checker ✔ Around 50mpg combined ✔ Full service history ✔ Mostly motorway miles ✔ Rare 6-speed manual ✔ Exceptionally clean beige interior ✔ HPI clear

Premiums on older cars vary far more than people expect, and on a car at this price the insurance can be the larger of the two bills in year one. It is worth getting a quote on 2012 BMW 520d before you put a deposit down, particularly if the driver is under 25 or newly qualified. This car is insurance group 32 of 50.
We are not insurance brokers, we cannot advise you on cover, and we are paid nothing for these links — they are here because you need the number before you decide, not because anyone pays us to show them.
Book a test drive, ask for more photographs of something specific, or ask the awkward question about that 2019 advisory. Whoever prepared the car answers.
