I'm already beginning to get insecure about that. It would obviously need a full length '335i' decal along the side.

I would expect nothing less

[TW]Fox · 29 Jul 2010 at 20:11

I do wish I had lower standards, 3 litre 325i's are outstanding value, you can already get 57 and 08 plate M Sport's for under £20k with 20k miles :eek:

Buy one, get DannyW and Joshy to strap a few turbos to it......profit?

If you are buying the 535d (my pick) it is likely to be a director/exec level commuter car and manual is not something the pople who buy this would care for I imagine.

Auto all the way for me.

I quite often do Plymouth to Southampton which is largely the same route (But obviously less overall duration so less dual carraigeway and less cruising to get the MPG up) and I get 31mpg from the 530i.

Even so, that's not terrible consumption for a 3 litre petrol pulling a heavy 5 series.

It would be annoying, the performance of the 525i is annoying and on paper it isnt much slower than mine :confused:

Well, I went for the BMW 330d M Sport Coupe (E92) .... so I dont think my vote counts.

Crikey dude you've finally bought a car :eek:

And it's one of those :eek:

The reason why the 330d M Sport Coupe isn't on the list is because for it to be in the same league as the others you need a 58 plate onwards with the new N57 engine in it. The older ones have the same basic engine that goes all the way back to the 1999 530d. This pushes it into a different league price wise.

What you going to go for then Fox, which way are you leaning?

Burned_Alive · 29 Jul 2010 at 20:35

Not done yet, but will be next week

It is an 07, but I'm very happy with it.

33something i I think.

But I do love the whole 5 Series thing

Witor · 29 Jul 2010 at 20:42

Fox, I've probably missed this on this thread (or a similar one, nasty habit of skim reading threads in the evenings...) but i've always pictured you eventually owning an E39 M5. Given up on that one I gather?

[TW]Fox · 29 Jul 2010 at 20:45

I want an E39 M5. I always will. But finding a nice one is hard, they are all pretty old, and the few things beginning to irk me about the E39 are also present in the M5. It will always be my dream car.

I still have days where I think 'hmmm' but I suspect I will own one - but in years to come when I've got the cash and space for an extravagant 20 year old garage queen.

Get the local BMW dealer to do you a cut price rental for a few days in each.

Opinionated yes

Sensible?

Housey · 29 Jul 2010 at 20:51

Come to think of it, his current 5 is probably worth 30K alone as it can be advertised as "Owned by Mr Fox of OCUK", gotta be worth summit that
