I need to replace my Mark 4 Golf Estate. It's just about to hit 245000 miles.

Looking a couple of pages back at the options for a big estate for <£10k, what's the consensus on a 5 series?

There is a lot of F11 520d options on the market. Is there a reason these should be avoided? Or anything particular to look out for?

Get the auto, so much better than old-school auto that most folk are familiar with.

Prob the most bland looking 5 series ever, but folk like them.
Don't think there is anything that common breaks on them, only timing chain and poss swirl flaps though not sure if BMW fixed these by that era
