BMW 525i 2008 – Excellent Condition & Very Rare Low Kilometres
Price includes RWC
4 x Near New Pirelli 225/50R17 Tyres
Tinted windows
Excellent, near new interor, beige colour leather seat, we take care of our pride BMW 525i.
Head-up Display on front window glass
Only done 96,000km because I only use it for work, which is about 2km from my house, for such a low km BMW 525i, thus a bit higher price for the low kilometer.

Lady owner
Owned and loved for over 10 years
If you’ve been searching for a well-kept BMW that hasn’t been driven into the ground, this is the one. This beautiful 525i has been my personal car for the past decade, mainly used for short trips between home and my music studio (around 2km each way), which explains the incredibly low kilometres.
This car has never been in an accident and has been meticulously maintained throughout ownership. Most servicing has been completed by Doncaster BMW and Waverley BMW, with additional servicing every 5,000km by my trusted mechanic.
✨ Features & Highlights:
• Automatic transmission
• Head-Up Display projected onto front windscreen
• Rare beige leather interior in near-new condition
• 4 x Near New Pirelli 225/50R17 tyres
• Tinted windows
• Front & rear parking sensors
• Power folding mirrors
• Satellite navigation
• Bluetooth connectivity
• Multi-function steering wheel
• Premium multimedia entertainment system
• USB audio input
• Rain-sensing wipers
• Cruise control
• Climate control air conditioning
• Front colour display screen
• 17” alloy wheels
• Remote central locking
• Front & rear power windows
• Leather steering wheel
• Subwoofer sound system
🛡️ Safety Features:
• 8 airbags
• ABS brakes
• Brake assist
• Driver, passenger & side airbags
• ANCAP safety rating: 4 stars
The interior is exceptionally clean with no tears or damage — the beige leather trim is getting harder to find and gives the car a timeless luxury feel. Exterior presents beautifully overall, with only minor clear-coat peeling consistent with age.
This BMW still drives beautifully, feels solid on the road, and continues to turn heads everywhere it goes.
Reluctant sale only because I’m upgrading to a Tesla Model Y.
Perfect for someone wanting a luxury European car with genuine low kilometres and excellent ownership history.
Serious buyers only please. Inspection will not disappoint.
