I've driven the 535d and a beautiful cruising car.

I'd two 535ds. One new in 2007, and another 3 year old one subsequently.

I got both modded to approx 350BHP.

Great cars.

Also had a 2003 e60 530d (loads of problems, cost me a fortune) and a 2004 e60 530i (fantastic car, no issues at all)

Met Police still owns most of the 5 Series saloons.

The older stuff if used for Training of Armed Units.

But when they start to age they are expensive to fix. Suspension bushes are a common issue apparently but then none of the Met 5 Series saloons have been driven sedately and often with 4 big lumps in there with ballistic gear and weapons/ammo etc.

I didn't think it was that ugly when it came out and it certainly looks more individual than the boring car that replaced it.

Why cant I see the pic in the OP? Or wasnt there one and it was just a description?

Never been a fan of that shape 5 Series and always thought they looked quite naff and old.
