So you only take calls through the nights and want three grand for a test drive. :rotfl:

So realistically, it's probably 20 or so then.

So you want somebody to part with £3k cash without even test driving it?

stranger12

would you let them test drive without anything against them if they crash it ?

Hi all,

I own a 530d 2004 and for the past two years that i have owned it , i have not seen much of the bmw reliability .

I bought it on 114k almost 2.5 years ago and it had been remapped ( piggy back ecu) and had some issues such as rear ball joints.
I changed ball joints then ecu went, ecu fixed now excessive smell of diesel and sound from transmission so it is a nightmare.

parking sensor gone, parasitic battery drain overnight and on and on

I need to get a big family car and prefer it to be BMW so my choices are x5 2010 around 17k or 520d around 14k for 2013.

which one would you have got ?

are x5 costly to maintain?

my wife might be doing some commuting on the car.

So you're selling this 530d?

Depends whether I want to sell the car or not, and whether it's legal, but then I'd not try and sell a car that's sorned and uninsured unless it was a few hundred quid shed.

Are you receiving a lot of calls because the car is desirable? Is it special? You said 'saloon BMW' but is it an M5 or a 318i?

Like this one, which had 114K on in November '13?
