quite dear that for the age and mileage that you could get a lot newer less miles bmw for that or less

 

Me personally, I would buy a 330d sport and then the change I would spend on a remap and bigger intercooler and a few other choice mods too make it your own. 530d and 535d are good cars but it's just they are a we'd bit heavy and if you want something that feels quite quick then the 3 series is the better buy. But it all depends on what you want out of the car at the end of the day

 

e90 330d m sport

 

are you saying the 535d doesn't feel quick?

 

I have driven a 530d that had been chiped and it went like stink BUT you need to remember once you chip them the dmf will not last long so keep some cash for repairs.

 

Are the BMW's reliable though ?

I hear of them shitting turbochargers and injectors quite often

 

Awesome motors and fucking shift once mapped but you are spot on two of my mates have done just that loads of turbo probs and injectors etc!!!

They build some nice cars, but I wouldnt have one about me

 

For me theres only one diesel engine, and its in such an awesome package. I'd have this all day long and pocket 2k:

Now that would be a cruiser !!!!

 

e class mercedes cdi, very quick, i hate BMW's, driven a few and hated every one, but a mercedes drives very nice and the 320 cdi is nice and fast.

 

my money?

c320 cdi estate

 

That Phaeton would easily be the most powerful. And what a car for munching miles !!
