JamesC Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Well this is what I got after selling the Supra. I was after something cheaper but something that I still liked, and came up with this: Not to everyones taste i know! 530i Sport, not a match for a TT but might give some N/As a run for their money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L33 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 my mate has a 5 series that looked like that, had double glazed windows and loads of other fab bits think it was a 4.0 liter i cant remember! nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Cheers, yeah it definately doesn't get the looks that the Supra got! It is a nice comfy ride though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Liking that, it looks a clean motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Looks lovely mate, i'm quite a fan of these my brother had one in the exactly the same colour and it didnt go too bad either and for such a big car handled well Looks to me around a 51 plate? Just out of interest how comes you didnt go for the auto as i heard that the manuals are so hard to sell on compared to the autos?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Looks great, bringing it to the NE meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 No double glazing on this one, it was probably was a 540i which is a 4.4. Yeah the car is a 2000. It was a manual i was after and they are pretty rare, i just prefer the manuals. The auto is slightly slower/ worse on MPG and have issues of blowing up when they get to 100K ish. Not sure if there harder to sell on? I thought quite a few people would like a manual in these, but i don't know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Oh yes, I'm pretty sure I won't be in the Supe Will yours not be ready by then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Will yours not be ready by then? It's touch & go, I have all the bits, just no time, was on overtime at work all last weekend & possibly this weekend, if I get a day to myself I could have it back together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Nice cars the 5 series. I would have gone for the 3.0 diesel, but I imagine they are even harder to find in manual guise. Nice looking and very well engineered none the less. I know someone who has an older version with 170,000 miles on the clock, and it is still so quiet you can't even hear it running.

Dnk Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Looks like a nice car and in a nice colour but then im slightly biased having recently gone back to a beema as a daily driver Doubt i'd buy a new BMW though as i think they've lost the plot with looks and build quality.

Tricky-Ricky Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Nice car, nothing wrong with BMs its just the people who drive them:innocent: i was considering a 330 TDI but the misses hates them, says there old mans cars, i keep telling her that shes got it wrong and i'm already there, but she won't have it;) Probably why i'm going for one of the Japanese equivalents:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
