How much is a pre-owned BMW 520 worth?

On AutoUncle, the oldest BMW 520 can be bought for £4,999, while a newer model costs around £45,888.

The cost of a pre-owned BMW 520 is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include manufacturing year, engine capacity and performance, fuel efficiency of the car, number of miles not to mention the equipment level of the car.

As an example, a newer model with fewer miles covered, or a high-end version boasting a potent engine, often fetches a top-tier price than a used model with many kilometres on the odometer and in a simple equipment variant.

What equipment variants are available for BMW 520?

Here is an overview of the most popular equipment variants for BMW 520, sorted by number of cars for sale and their market price:

When assessing the price of a used BMW 520, it's essential to examine vehicles that have the same engines and features. If not, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to purchase.

Which fuel options are available for BMW 520?

Diesel is the foremost fuel option for the BMW 520.

BMW 520 fuel options:

  • BMW 520 diesel: 1,038 cars currently available with an average price of £16,686
  • BMW 520 petrol: 411 cars currently available with an average price of £36,652
  • BMW 520 plug-in hybrid: Currently there is 158 cars available on AutoUncle with an average price of £30,306

Keep your driving habits in mind when choosing which fuel type to purchase. Is your driving primarily through city traffic or along open highways and motorways? How many miles do you rack up in an average week?

If your trips are mostly short, electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol may make the most sense. For daily long-distance driving, the electric car is often ideal - especially with a charger at home or at work. 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. For very long daily driving without charging options, a diesel car can still be relevant. Note that diesel engines with significant emissions have faced entry bans in cities across numerous countries.
