BMW and M Power Owners

My theory is that its a demographic thing. When these cars were new, the majority of those who could afford to spec and buy one were probably looking for subtle, mature and understated rather than loud and proud. Luckily I'm in my early 20s and down for a good time. :P

Yeah it certainly seems very well looked after. I didn't think I was going to like the 18s but the more I look at them the more they grow on me, apparently they're a better ride too.
Thanks, I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with it. :)

It is indeed lovely. The condition looks fantastic. Its a keeper for sure.

Being an older one...lower road tax? Any interior shots?
 
opinions on 5 series?

ones popped up for sale just down the road, been needing a car for ages and the right one hasnt come up! was only looking at 3 series before.

the local one is a 08 525d SE, but sounds like it has a lot of extras from when it was originally sold. what are these like? first impressions to me is they look rather large but my understanding is they arent much bigger than 3 series anyway!

the AD hasnt got pictures yet as it came in just before bank holiday but i emailed and he said it will all be updated tomorrow so looking forward to seeing what it looks like.

How much is it up for? Absolutely not my favourite 5series but in terms of size they aren't that big really, plus they tend to shrink around you a little bit when driving
 
Is 60,000 miles still the increase in cost associated with BMW comp warranty? And if paying monthly does the cost still stay the same when going over 60k as I remember it used to last year when I last read about it?
 
Make sure you add everything you want with the cover at the time, as even a silly thing like adding assist will effectively start the cover again - or at least this is what seemed to happen with my Dad who was still just under 60k

Good looking M3, in a real colour as well not that I am slightly biased at all.

My mistake its a 530d

£9900, not sure if thats a good price or not?
 
As before I just don't like the e6x - for me £10k is a lot to spend on one given they were released 11 years go, but it does sound pretty much bang on the market price if it's tidy.
