History of BMW 520i Saloon Luxury Plus (FL2021)
The BMW 5 Series has been one of the most famous cars on the market for decades. The iconic image has already been established and remains a key competitor in the saloon segment until today.

It also includes a wide range of trims and packages you can upgrade to according to your needs – there are the standard SE variant, M Sport, M Sport Edition, and M Performance.
