On the look out for a new run about while the cossy is off the road, got up to about £4k so thinking of a BMW 530d on about a 01 plate or a st220 on a 03 plate

Is there anything to look out for etc

Cheers
Matt

bmw all day long.

 

I love my fords loads and think the st220 is a nice car but the diseasel bmw are a good car. They go well too.

 

Going to have a look at a 530 tomorrow wit an ac shintzer body kit,alloysre-mapped to about 260 bhp so the ad says, it's done 145k tho but has full history

 

145k no problem with history mate!

 

the bmw oil burner ultra reliable and a very good allrounder or a ford guzzler that is slow as shit?????

No contest mate bmw all day awesome engine,one of our maps sees over 500 lb ft on them!!!!

Roosies got nearly 230K on his 330D, only real probs they have I know of is the cam and crank sensors can play up, but cheap enough to fix, roosies gets around 48mpg.

Well this is the new run about





it looks a bit old man but am going to update it a little

 

Looks nice, clear lights all round, facelift grilles and some style 32's would sort it out!

 

Is that the common rail diesel or the old smokey type of diesel engine?

 

Got to give it a few weeks but deffo want it remaped

thats pretty much the plan

 

Its common rail
it goes well for a big motor with 184bhp but deffo want to remap it

 

So what's it like then

 

Its a nice motor ideal for us running upto scotland a few times a year.
And the cossy is needing an engine rebuild so makes sence to get another motor

 

Lot of car for the money and will do hundreds of thousand miles hassle free no doubt.

Really fancy one myself for a big comfy cruiser much much cheaper than a 330 and far better than a tdci which will give injector issues aswell as every other issue lol


I valeted a his n hers 530ds 2 years ago now, both still own them as they love them and they could easily afford a brand spanker but just keep running them

1 had 170 odd k on the clock and teh other over 200k and i drove both, fucking stunning condition and drive, tigh box and ultra quiet on cold start up and drove so smooth you forget its a diesel

 

awesome car the e39 just sold mine, did 3 ring trips and a trip to poland, not one niggle.

 

looking for a 530d or 525d for the old man too around the 4k but it has to be auto - anyone know of any?

Matt - what happened to the AC Schnitzer one?

 

Heres my 530d Sport Auto. i love it so much that i think i might prefer driving it to my Cossie plus it'll do 47mpg too. Think i must be getting old LOL

 

The ac was a little rough to say the least it drove well enough but there was rust on the rear arches, boot lid,front edge of the bonnet and both n/s doors would have still had it but he wouldn't take an offer on it

this one only has 100k with full history 2 owners I'm the 3rd its got a small (less than the size of a 5p) scab on the bottom edge of the boot and a fewstone chips

 

nice one - reckon im gonna have to look for one for the old man then - anyone want a low mileage Honda Accord

i missed out on a 523i E39 my best mates old man had - but he px'd it at the garage - my mate was more pissed off as he wanted me to have it

 

Very nice, Looks the same as mine!

 

on my one i removed the swirl flaps fuck that shit happening, also while the manifold is off deffo do the engine breather filter on the rocker cover as it saves the turbos

 

with any luck, if I can get my shell sold and a couple of others cars I will have enough to buy this

 

Sorry to Hi-jack the thread but seeing as it is about BMW diesels. One for sale near me. 330d 51 plate. 118,000 miles. Full BMW main dealer history. £3600. Is that a reasonable price to be paying? Presumably the mileage isn't an issue as its a BMW lol? Only downside is its green. I like that silver one above. Very nice

 

Absolutely loved my E39 530d Sport when I had it - Superb car - Did well over 30k in her and she never missed a beat

Was absolutely superb cruising on the autobahn at 130 with the cruise control on and aircon on low when going to the 'Ring in her

A few snaps of her not long after I fitted a set of 18" Paras
