the 335 diesel is an absolute rocket!

I bet, sounds like a petrol too, prefer that engine in 5's though

Yeah 286 BHP which to be honest is the same as the 540i's 4.4 V8, I like the idea of one, this one is going soon though (maybe in the next couple of months or maybe next year cos' I quite like it  ) but have some pennies saved up as well. High insurance groups though, this is a 320d but its group 14 then again it's M sport which pumps it up a bit.

bloody hell Cem petrols pricey in your neck of the woods!

in good old blighty its 92.9p

 

yep and if continues like that I'll drive a bicycle

The new shape 5's are really growing on me, in that dark silver/grey or black  

Still out of my price range really, will keep the trusty Omega going till the 530d's of that shape with sub 100k miles are going for sub 5k

Will be the best bet, was gonna buy a 530d on a 54 plate only probs were it was green and had 196k on it and din't wanna chance it and it was still 6 grand. Mine little slower but it's not slouch 8.7 - 60mph ain't that bad. This seemed the better bet though 6 months newer and 121k less miles.

For me the 3's are too small, and don't really do it for me styling wise.

As the financial crysis will continue, I think within a short time than you estimate their prices will drop more..

Yes the New Shape 5 Series Tourer In Topaz Blue Or Black Metalic With blacked out rear windows looks very very very nice!!!

expolice ones are cheap at the auctions ie 6k odd but theyre covered in holes and are silver but ive seen a fair few with blacked out rears

It is quite small but to be honest in the back legroom is much more impressive than I thought it would be. Still want a 5 though but they're expensive as I like M sports. She's a looker though but I am gonna say that will get up some more pics that the mrs. can take cos' i got a real shaky hand problem look:

This is me next TBH.
No way would I pay that much for a 2006 car though.

Go for an 528 or 530, forget the 540i because you'll be driving from gas station to gas station. Probably 528 is maybe the best option.
It's powerfull enough, comes from 325 nad 525 ( they're actually the same engines with only a small difference) and they're very durable and relatively cheap to maintain
Diesel BMW's are way worse than petrol, but if its low mileaage car you can alslo look into this.

Diesel BMW's Are Brilliant!!!!!

540i aint that bad on fuel itll do 25mpg same as a 3litre v6!

Well they are smooth and quick, not sure if they require the same 3k oil changes like the older units.

I do like that 535d posted up though
