Should I keep my E39 BMW 523i?
I have owned a BMW 523i SE from new, it is the E39 model. It only has 54,000 miles, runs very well and is in good condition. Is it the type of car that is worth keeping in the hope of future appreciation or should I cut my losses and sell it?

Doesn't sound like you've got any losses to cut? If it runs well, is in good condition and you like it, then hang on to it. Assuming you don't need to sell it? E39s are starting to appreciate in value but it'll be a few years before we start to see an uplift in prices for non-sporting variants.
