The 520i was available in both sedan and touring body styles, offering versatility for a diverse range of drivers. Its suspension was tuned for a balance of comfort and handling, providing a supple ride while maintaining a sporty character. The E34 5-Series was also lauded for its advanced safety features, including standard anti-lock brakes and a robust crumple zone design. The 1990-1991 520i was a popular choice for drivers who valued a blend of luxury, performance, and practicality. Its refined interior featured high-quality materials and ergonomic design, contributing to a sense of spaciousness and comfort. The car's relatively compact size made it easy to maneuver in urban environments, while its ample trunk space ensured adequate cargo capacity.

The 520i's reputation for reliability, coupled with its timeless styling and impressive handling, continues to make it a sought-after classic among BMW enthusiasts.
