Description

Looking for a BMW 523i? This 1998 NZ new sedan could be worth a look. It's a 5-seater with the 2.5-litre straight-six petrol engine paired with an auto gearbox, which makes it easy to drive around town or on longer trips.

The E39 generation 5 Series is well-regarded for its balanced handling and build quality. This particular example is in good working order and has proven to be reliable over the years. The cabin is spacious, offering good room for passengers and luggage in the boot.

Being NZ new means it's spent its entire life here. It's covered a fair distance, but these engines are known for their longevity when looked after.

Features:

  • 2.5-litre straight-six engine
  • Auto transmission
  • Spacious 5-seat interior
  • Good working order
  • Excellent service records
