Introduction

The 520i SE is a perfect snapshot of early ’90s Bavarian engineering - classic E34 styling, understated, refined, and effortlessly poised.
The BMW 520i SE represents the perfect balance of understated luxury and classic BMW engineering. Part of the revered E34 generation of the 5 Series, this model combined executive comfort with precise handling and dependable performance - hallmarks of BMW’s early ’90s design philosophy.
As an SE (Special Equipment) model, it came well-appointed for its era, featuring upgraded interior trim, alloy wheels, electric windows, and enhanced comfort features.
With its smooth inline-six engine, five-speed automatic transmission and trademark rear-wheel-drive layout, it delivers that unmistakable blend of comfort and precision that made BMW the ultimate driving machine of its era.
This example comes to market after almost seven and a half years with our vendor, it has a factory fitted sunroof, low mileage, two sets of keys and well looked after through its years. Other fitted extras include; electrically adjustable and heated mirrors, front and rear electric windows and halogen front fog lights.
Today, the 520i SE stands as a charming reminder of the brand’s golden age - an era before electronics took centre stage, when craftsmanship and mechanical feel defined the experience behind the wheel. Well worth a closer look over to admire its quality and prestige, the well presented and sharp 5 series is a great example of a very smart E34.

Hi Mika,
Electic windows (all 4 doors) and mirrors work perfectly.
Central locking has just decided to stop working on driver’s door. Works as should on passenger door.
All instrument and dash displays work perfectly.
Hi David, I know there’s a few references to the electrical bits in the ad already, but could you confirm specifically if the central locking, electric mirrors and windows all work as intended? Many Thanks
Hi David, the car looks in great condition. What about the floor pan, bottom of the struts under sills etc. how do you think this fairs and do you know if it has ever had any form of under seal protection ?
Hi Martin,
I’ve had the car 7.5 years and it’s always been garaged during that time.
I haven’t had any after-market underseal applied, but you’ll see the MOTs have never raised corrosion concerns. I actually walked underneath it under a ramp with the tester during last year’s MOT and it looked good. To the best of my knowledge, it remains structurally very good for its age.
You’re welcome to inspect it, of course.
Thanks David. Just to confirm it’s an SE model without air con , with power steering ?
Correct.
