How many miles will a BMW 5 series 530D do?

[DimPrawn]

Not sure I see the logic of a drop top diesel mind.

You are on the motorway doing 90, you'll want the roof up.

You are toodling along in town or a country lane, you'll want to hear a nice 6 or 8 cylinder petrol engine, not the sound of a Massey Ferguson tractor.

I have BMW service bills from the previous owner that still make be cringe (seriously, who would take their BMW to a BMW dealer for new tyres!).

I do as they're cheaper than anyone else for my tyres

Is this thread still going on?
The man wants to waste £5K on an old banger that'll make him look like a chav. Let him.

Better than wasting £25k on a car that is designed to have crap handling and makes you look like a chav.

Just a thought, have you considered wasting your money on a Jag?

[Old Hack]

Logic (not your strong suit I'll admit) says it is already on the road and will be on the road regardless if he buys it or someone else does.

This is so funny. How can it be on the road, and will be on the road? If it's at a dealer, it isn't on the road, it's on a forecourt. It will, of course, be on the road IF someone buys it.

Ahem

The car has incredible steering (without fault), epic handling and not underpowered for the tyres.

All it takes is 50 metres – a jaunt out of a car park, just a short roll – to know that you’re in the presence of an exceptionally well sorted piece of kit with the Toyota GT86.

From the lowest of speeds, the GT86 rolls with a controlled comfort allowed by 215/45-section tyres and fine damping of its body. It steers with slickness, total linear accuracy and fine weighting.

The GT86’s slickness of steering, tightness of chassis control and general love of corners wowed us all.

The Toyota GT86 is great fun to drive thanks to its sharp handling and crisp responses. It’s affordable to buy and very well equipped.

The ride is firm but fair, but the GT86 is all about the handling. The light weight and classic sports car layout (engine at the front, driven wheels at the back) gives the GT86 real agility, and the fast throttle responses and quick, weighty steering help, too.

The GT86 delivers absolutely on its promise, with beautiful composure, balance and accuracy belying the need to pour monstrous gouts of power through the rear wheels to extract entertainment.

I think you should stay with your heady mix of summer and winter tyres to have your fun d000hg, for it's as clear as day, that you know fook all about cars

You guys were right about the 320d - no good really.

I realised that the 330d M Sport is one of the best ones out there - might wait a few months and buy one of those instead for a bit more (7-9k).

Poor old OH, thinks this 2nd hand car is just going to sit around for the next 10 years unsold.

Nice to see he's sharing Sasguru's "things that happened on CUK" google-doc.

Now this is a completely different bag. 5 series are cheap because not many people want/need such a big car so not much of a market meaning you get a lot of car for your money. 330d M Sport is more likey to be cheap cause it's fooked. HTH.
