Buying a used BMW 530d touring is a pretty safe bet. Beautifully built, great to drive and well equipped - and it can be more affordable than you might first imagine.
Launched in April 1997, the BMW 5-series Touring produced a wide range of engines offering buyers a car and engine combination to suit just about every requirement. Prior to the BMW 5-series, estate cars had poor refinement, and devoured fuel, but this model changed all that.
Cost
You can buy a used BMW 5-series Touring for around £4,500 for a 1997 P-plate.
You’ll need to spend more on a larger engine, such as the 528i model, and think about up to £10,000 for V8 power.
Diesel Touring models start a little higher, but they do have one of the greatest engines with over 40 mpg available. The 530d is another reason to buy a used BMW, it propels a manual gearbox vehicle to 62mph in just 8.1 seconds.
Space
Buying a used BMW 5-series Touring is practical for space. With a flat loading area of 690 litres, folding the seats in the back boosts that space to 1,525 litres.

Tips for buying a used BMW 5-series Touring
All used BMW Touring models come with alloy wheels, remote central locking, airbags and electric windows as standard. But be careful when it comes to extras like satellite navigation or leather trims. These can add thousands to the original cost of the car, but should cost 25% less than the original invoice.
Also, you should always buy from an authorised BMW dealer. The vehicle has clear, simple dials and even gives a reading that informs you when the next service is due but this can be reset by untrustworthy sellers. If you aren’t going through an approved and authorised used BMW dealer, than make sure you check all the service history before you buy.
With a top speed of 141mph and 193 bhp and a six-cylinder engine, this vehicle is high quality.
Servicing costs
BMW spares have a reputation for quality and value with an air filter costing around £15 and spark plugs at £17.
Buying a used BMW 5 series Touring means a high quality car with added practicality and a reasonable price tag.
