RE: Decisions, Decisions - 2nd Car...
From memory, both are 2.5 straight sixes but the 523i has 174BHP whilst 525i has 192BHP/218BHP. They are N52B25 or M54B25 engines, but these had 3 differing power outputs with changes to the head, Vanos (single versus double) and ECU/DME differences, giving the increased power outputs.
Both models were available from 2005 - 2007 (lads correct me if I am wrong here).
Edit: I've just dug into this a little more. The 523i N52B25 174bhp (2005 to 2007) with the lower of the 3 power outputs, the original 525i M54B25 192bhp (up to 2005) and the newer 525i N52B25 218bhp (2005 to 2007) with the higher of the 3 power outputs.

It looked ok but it had 100k on it. A few scuffs on the front bumper but at that price it was worth it. I'd imagine if it wasn't bought for a private sale it will be on some dealers forecourt next week for 32k give or take.
It was that Joe Duffy trade in auction. They do them every few weeks.
