2002 BMW 525 | Gillingham, Kent

A 2002 BMW 525 from the E39 generation of the 5 Series, a straight-six executive saloon. The 5 Series is known for smooth six-cylinder running and a restrained, well-proportioned shape that never shouts. This car is silver with a black interior, a sober pairing that looks smart and businesslike on camera. Its 2.5-litre engine sits in a bodyshell with clean, uncluttered flanks, and the cabin centres on the driver, with seats for four. It is in good condition. For film and television, it gives a convincing early-2000s corporate or official-car look, whether as a boardroom arrival or a getaway vehicle. The plain silver paint suits photography and editorial work where the car should support the subject, and it makes a quiet, polished arrival car at events and music video shoots. A wedding or a birthday outing is easy to picture in it. The car is based in Gillingham, Kent.
