2006 BMW 525

Priced to reflect history and condition – sensible offers welcome.

A superb one-owner BMW 525d SE Automatic in rare Mystic Blue Metallic, with full documented service history and outstanding provenance.

Registered January 2006 and owned by the same keeper from new, this car was maintained by the supplying BMW main dealer for the first 10 years, then by the same respected specialist thereafter. Most recently serviced in January 2026.

With 116,000 miles, a long MOT to 22 January 2027 (no advisories) and faultless manners on the road, this is a genuinely cherished E60 that drives exactly as BMW intended — smooth, quiet and effortlessly torquey.

Importantly, this is a pre-DPF M57 example, avoiding the complexity and issues associated with later cars.

WHY THIS 525d STANDS OUT

Most E60s now have multiple owners and patchy histories. This car remains a single-owner example with impeccable documentation, a properly serviced ZF gearbox, and one of the best MOT records you’ll see. The M57 six-cylinder diesel is the sweet spot of the range — refined, economical and long-lived when maintained correctly.

A genuinely rare opportunity to buy a properly cared-for E60 that’s ready to be enjoyed.
