Look at the range on that bastid. 

 

It's a hard driven 730d as well. 

My Touareg shows a 700 mile range when the tank is full,big tank though

So does the E class, until I pull away it does have the optional larger tank though...

Think mines around 100lt,like a well being filled.

I think mine's only 80 litres and it rarely does a tank full at a steady motorway plod unless there's a tin shed on the back, in which case it does around 23/24 mpg

My 430d has a tank capacity of 57 litres. As I've said before, it will get me to my usual holiday place in Cornwall (286 miles) or the Lake District (also 286 miles) using just over a quarter of a tank of diesel. 
If I travel at night and I *press on* it drops to low forties.  Seeing a range of 700 not unreal on a run these days. 

* 70mph on all roads where permitted.

This was taken a couple of years ago and it's still going strong. A family friends bmw diesel auto with a fair few miles on the clock. 

how much is a brand new 730d ? 


I bet its worth more than the online members cars sum at a busy time


and how much is the insurance cost alone ?




and how much is the cost of repair on that auto alone when it goes bang ? 


and as for reliability just google 730d problems

Indeed. So, in summary, diseasel autos are fantastic as long as you buy a £50k car. 

Alternatively, you can spend a few % of that sum on a V6 Petrol Omega. Admittedly, you'll have higher fuel costs unless you LPG it, but what's left of your savings won't be depreciating uncontrollably.

Anyone driven one of these , ok so we all know its not the best looking car but it looks better in this white . Auto diesel , any problematic things to be a concern 

I believe the original question was as above, to which many have given their opinion, based on actual ownership. 
I didn't realise that there was a price limit where diesel auto's become good or bad.
