About this car

At £3,995, it is advertised £421 below our estimated market asking price of £4,416. Our estimate draws on 2,810 BMW 5 Series adverts across the UK, adjusting for age, mileage, trim, engine and other specifications. We first recorded this advert 68 days ago, and its asking price has since fallen by £300. The time on sale and price change could be useful context when negotiating. MOT records show an expiry date of 16 June 2027, and the latest recorded mileage is consistent with the advert. It is advertised by Newton Carz in Milton Keynes.
