Hi Garath,
Yes, absolutely. True, diesel values are softening a little with all the adverse publicity, but the 520d is a car that’s going to retain its allure for a while yet, and in the meantime it’s frugal, refined and brilliant to drive. If you’re a low-mileage driver, it’s very definitely worth considering either a petrol 520i or a plugin-hybrid 530e, but for long-distance driving the 520d is still king.
