The Appeal
The third generation of the BMW 5-series was wonderfully familiar while gently updating a winning formula. With that distinctive split grille and shark-nosed styling, this was undeniably BMW at their best - and the numbers proved in its favour, with 1,333,412 units sold across all styles and editions.
This 1991 model is a distinctive example of the BMW 520i SE, with a striking red colour scheme, a comprehensive service history and only three registered keepers from new. The interior is in excellent condition for its age, and the car has been recently fitted with four new tyres. The rear spoiler adds a unique touch to its appearance.
