Ummm, not trying to cause an argument here but bmw are so common, it dont matter how good or bad a car is, the rarity value of the 300c is immense. 5 series bmw's are dime a dozen repmobiles in my opinion.

When dropping my kids off on Saturday morning for football training, at least 2 out of 3 cars delivering kids where bmw's. bmw are today what ford where in 70s and 80s, the common man's man's car.

Sorry to sound like a snob, and I am really  a poor working class person, if I really where a snob would a drive a 96 Omega ?

There is only one 5 series to have and that is the legend

The M5

if someone else other than me, pay the bills  ;D

seriously , E39 530 is the one easily (comparingly easily) affordable..

in terms of TCO..

Sorry LSG, but I still prefer your MV6, which I saw the other day in Sainsbury's car park.  

Still the best looking car in the car park; well except mine!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)
What day was that??
Was on the rare occasion that I got MY Bmw. I came out with the battery will go flat on the Omega if you dont use it so last week it was used everyday, now the mrs. has the BM again  >:(
**EDIT**
See now they are nice and cheaper: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2006-CHRYSLER-300C-3-0-CRD-Auto_W0QQitemZ370179270345QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item370179270345&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
Maybe a diesel but they're so weak compared with the Bm equivilent.

Give the 300C a big miss. I went on a 600 mile round trip to test drive one with a view to change my omega the start of last year and i thought WOW but on the way back to the garage the gearbox packed up and this was a 18 month old, 30,000 miles and a price tag of £18,500 car, NOT HAPPY >:(

If your after a 5 series than i know of a E39 03 525 D auto sport in silver with black leather, 165,000 miles with FSH and just had a £4250 bill with BMW for a new gearbox. He bought the car 4 years ago with 40,000 on the clock for £19,000 and he only wants £3500 for it now :)

I will put to him but i know his other car is a E39 540 V8 and thats the one for fun and he does like this a lot so not sure if the MV6 could match that ;)

But it cost alot more than the Omega dti elite new so what would you pay for an 03 dti elite with 165,000 miles now.
