I have, but again it'll come down to cost. I suppose they could fall into the same price band as a 535d now, but it'd mean an older 640.
They are not that much more expensive really as the 535d itself is significantly more expensive than a 520d.

I've now got the Lexus LS430 for boring daily duties and will buy something properly suited to what I really want than a compromised package.I am having similar experiences, I don't love it like I did my MX5's, but its much more comfy day to day and I do enjoy peoples reactions to it. I am amazed what a BMW badge on a sporty looking car will do in terms of how non car people treat you when it comes to the subject of cars. I get a lot of people I barely even know coming to me for car advice now alongside a lot of very funny questions about the Z4M and I don't think its a coincidence.
This is not a problem I am familiar with, I cannot advise.
Mayhaps get good?

That's what I paid for my E39 530i - when it was less than 5 years old!
Madness.
Still, if that's what they are worth its what they are worth and it's a good spec.
People at work are spooking me, saying that buying a petrol car with that many miles is mad?!
Listening to people at work (or anywhere) talk about cars when they have no idea what they're talking about is painful.
Can finally start posting in this thread.
Ordered my ('borrowing') new car. Going from a 2001 1.6 Astra to a 228i MSport. Should arrive in June!
I said to him if he's considered rejecting the car and he said "rejections not really an option because I paid loads extra to put all the M Performance kit on it and it's putting out over 500bhp".
I felt like replying "Really? So how much extra carbon fibre do you need to get over 500bhp?" Of course I didn't but I just nodded and said "ok".
That sounds like two separate points, as in he's put the full m perf kit (which if dealer installed is betalinked therefore not possible to remove and resell) and he might have a tune on it which would basically screw him out of being able to return it. Though I wasn't there so maybe he did think the carbon adds power .
Just realised I didn't mention; he had the M Perf spoiler on with some carbon fibre interior and that was it. Not even the M Perf exhaust.
I think if he'd had a tune on his car he would have mentioned it rather than just say he's paid for the M Performance parts. Definitely a stock exhaust too as he'd just had it replaced because "it made a really horrible rattling noise". had it since December and done 1500 miles in it (allegedly). Think he was just trying to show off to a random stranger. Always find it very sad when people are like that. Not many people are stupid enough to tune their car before the running in period!
