Expert Opinion

A variant of the ever impressive 5 Series which is no longer in production, the 523 is a petrol powered model with a 2.5 litre engine that achieves a top speed of 147mph, 0-60mph in under nine seconds, and still returns fuel consumption returns near 40mpg. One of the smaller engines on offer, the 523 might not attract much attention away from the more powerful options (especially with the arguably better 2.0 litre diesel engine now on offer), but as a frugal, used option which marries good power, affordability and the typically excellent ride, handling and quality of the 5 Series, it is an excellent choice.
