You've stumbled across a right gem here, Shed 😍
. Today, he is bringing you another BMW M Sport Touring. What can we tell you? Like buses or Mrs Shed’s good days, there’ll be none for ages and then there might be one in a row. Or two in the case of buses.
It looks quick too with its M Sport accoutrements although admittedly there’s a touch of mutton dressed as lamb going on here. The straight six in the 523i was the weediest unit you could get in an E61 5 Series Touring of this vintage. The 525i had the same 2.5-litre N52 but with 215hp/199lb ft instead of our shed’s 174hp/170 lb ft and it wasn’t hard to discern the 523i’s performance shortfall relative to the 525i when both were fully loaded.
So, a good-looking car we think? Yes, but the N52 engine was not exactly problem-free. If a mechanical or electric fault hit the VANOS solenoids, which it often did, the VANOS assemblies would seize up and camshaft wear might then ensue. Insufficent lubrication to the hydraulic valve lifters on engines built before 2008 might well result in the crestfallen owner having to replace all twelve of the exhaust lifters.
