There exist five main factors that have an impact on what a pre-owned BMW 520 might cost: the year of manufacture, engine size and performance, fuel economy of the car, car mileage and equipment.

Here is an overview of the most popular equipment variants for BMW 520, sorted by number of cars for sale and their market price:
As you examine the price of a used BMW 520, it's necessary to compare vehicles with identical engines and equipment. If you don't, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to buy.

BMW 520 fuel options:
It's highly recommended to reflect on your driving patterns before making a decision on the fuel type. On a regular week, how far do you drive? Do you engage in many brief trips, or are your drives generally longer in distance?
For short journeys, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars are obvious choices. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. If you often drive long distances and can't charge, diesel can still be a viable option. It's important to consider that in some countries, diesel engines with high emissions are prohibited from entering cities.
The BMW 520 is available in several body types, but the most popular version is sedan. Saloons usually have 4 doors, making this body type a good choice for families.
