Used BMW 5 Series for Sale in Stoke-on-Trent

About the BMW 5 Series

The BMW 5 Series is a large executive car that sits above the 3 Series and below the 7 Series in BMW's range. The generation covered here, the F10, was built from 2010 to 2017 and was offered as a saloon and as a Touring estate, with the estate badged Touring. It is a popular choice for company drivers and private buyers who want rear-wheel drive, a refined cabin and strong motorway manners.

The listed cars are all diesels. The 520d uses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel, the most economical option and a sensible pick for high mileage. The 530d and 535d use six-cylinder 3.0-litre turbodiesels, which give noticeably stronger pulling power for overtaking and loaded journeys. The M Sport trim adds sportier suspension tuning, larger alloy wheels and styling details, and it is the version most often sought on the used market. The 535d in particular is one of the quicker diesels of its era.

Owners tend to praise the comfortable ride, the quiet and solid interior, the precise steering for a car of this size, and the generous rear seat and boot in the Touring. Fuel economy on the four-cylinder car is a common reason for buying one.

When checking a used example, look for a full service history, particularly regular oil changes, since the diesel engines rely on them. Check for timing or belt-related issues as specified by the service records, test the DPF regeneration and listen for unusual turbo or injector noise on a cold start. Inspect the electrics, infotainment and suspension components, and make sure the car has been driven on a proper test. If you want a 5 Series that is economical, comfortable and capable on long journeys from Stoke-on-Trent, one of the cars below may suit you.
