Okay, so you want a cheap 2 litre diesel car......Milan! We have a buyer lined up for your Passat...
Main thing is the BMW drive and comfort.
There are 2 cars at that garage I will be going to see:
Used Bmw 5 Series Saloon 530d Se 4dr Auto in Warrington, Merseyside | Cottrell Motor Co Ltd
and the earlier one.Comment

Don't forget to budget for a bumper sticker that says "I've admitted defeat"While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Apparently that advert is for a BMW with a 'MEGA SPEC'
No one is being very supportive! but I guess anything which seems like a bargain simply will not be....
but good luck!Comment

BMW are not alone in drive and comfort either.. like most of us can tell as we are not car testers. I think despite your protestations this is about it being a BMW.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostSurely however legendary BMW might be for this (which is very arguable) you will have lost most of that as the car ages. More modern cheaper car will give a better ride than a massively heavy old BMW in my opinion. However well designed it is after 80k miles of bouncing around the shocks are hardly going to be at their best. You haven't mentioned Audi's yet either.

Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostThis is from my first hand experience. My VW has done under 80k (at the time under 70k) when I tested out my friends BMW 320d (160k on the clock and older). It felt like new and a lot more comfortable than mine. Same goes with another friends 525d - comfort, style and performance with 120k on the clock.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Which means when one goes pop, you've still got the other one!
