Hi you BMW people

Reason I have joined is that I'm thinking of a 535D touring prob on a 55 - 57 plate.

I understand there is a change at 07 and would love any good or bad remarks about them.

I haven't owned a BMW for some years now but have owned the old 528 and 535 saloons and since then a Lexus and currently the Volvo T5 estate.

My son works at garage and has driven the 535d and says they are quick. He's had a dozen or more M3's and rates BMW quite highly.

Cheers and look forward to any replies.

Hi and welcome. I think your right re no-one having a 335d. I have not driven one but what I can say is I have had my X5 with the 3.0d engine for 2 weeks now and I am really delighted with the performance. In previous posts you will see that I have never been a fan of either diesel or autogearboxes but the X5 has changed that.

My engine has been chipped but given that it's an 02 and you are looking at much more recent models I would think they would fly!!

Good luck with your purchase

cheers crofter

Glad you like yours.

I cover about 20k miles a year and looking for less fill ups and still want a lively ride. Guess its time to join those on the dark side !

      Bmw x1 2012 won't start

      Morning Marvin You need a Diagnostic Scan with a BMW capable system , I assume that when the Footwell control module and and Battery were replaced they were correctly registered to your chassis ? Has your Mechanic checked the starter solenoid ? much cheaper than a starter Hope this helps Dave

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      As an "Old Bloke" (big 80 has been and gone) I just dont see cutting corners as saving money ?? over a very long driving life I have owned many many cars I have always maintained my own cars (mix of maintaining Dealer Warranty and self). At one point when in business my cars were changed on a mileage basis but after retirement did I want to spend £50k+ on a new car, NO! so My BMW X5 4.6is and may wifes Subaru Outback 3.0 (2003 and 2004) were the last. The X5 and the Subaru are still going strong both around 160k and maintained by me in my Home Garage everything on both cars works as it should (as an aside both cars have had engine upgrades and give 400+whp) both cars are and have been 100% reliable. As the 4.6is is quite rare in the UK 3 years ago I brought a cheap 3.0d X5 and after fixing the bodges I have a reliable and economical X5 to tow with and stop the mileage building on the 4.6 Wrong coolant can do as much damage as no coolant as can a stuck or no thermostat (longer warm up times using more fuel) I agree with using recycled parts to save money just never Tyres Brakes or Suspension parts they are all that is between you and a ditch Dave
