General Comments:
Bright white 2015 5 series, love this car. Rare manual transmission - most of these cars are automatics. I like this best however - very fun to drive and economical at the same time. I regularly get over 50 mpg without trying, for a large saloon this is impressive.
520d M Sport model has black leather and all electrics. For a 2015 car it feels ahead of its time. All modern features and they work as they should even after a decade.
Good looking exterior. I had always liked the 5 series looks, yes even that E60 model that came out in 2003 that shocked the world. Well this 2010 introduced F10 5 series is again great looking when you really look at it from all angles.
Boot space is huge, comfort is good.
Looking to buy one yourself? I highly recommend you do not touch any car without history. These need attentive maintenance to avoid expensive problems. Otherwise the car is OK to run - good MPG, insurance isn't too bad, and nice examples of this age can be had for around seven grand or less. Expensive for a car that is a decade old, but worth it for a low mileage nice example.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
