Looking to purchase first ever BMW,

Have my eye on few 5 series 07 520d models

I need some opinions re the engine

Is it better shelling but extra for the 3Ltr for economy or is the 3Ltr purely for power?.

Thanks

The 2ltr is a real workhorse for its size but for a 5series I would have to opt for the 3ltr merely due to the extra weight of the car and mucho power ! ;)

NICE ! A tad overpriced, they've gone for the spec to get a sale... Much of the spec you will find on "lesser" models (differences are mainly cosmetic plus tighter suspension upgrade) so don't go in rubbing your hands thinking its special... On the plus side it has below average milage, a lovely colour and has been maintained.

Ask who was the previous owner !

Welcome to the club, I've recently changed from a 2.5 petrol to a 2.0d and Im more than happy with the performance, but as Dabsy said the 3.0 maybe a better option in the 5, nice looking motor

      E66 76Li - help needed with errors

      Thanks for your reply David Donor vehicle was exact same spec as my car. comfort heated seats, logic 7, night vision, rear entertainment, fridge, rear air con vents on roof lining, rear window blinds, soft close. There has been no coding done, only the parts have been swapped including a replacement steering angle sensor. Do we have a programming expert on here? Also, audio was working fine when complete logic 7 system was moved from donor car to mine and it worked in my car after swap as well. Car was parked up for winter/rainy months. Started it up 2 weeks ago, installed a brand new Bosch AGM battery which is the correct battery for the car. However, audio system doesn't work anymore. I can't press any icons on the screen using the idrive button.

      Gear maybe engaged without breaking

      Dear members, Has anyone experienced the following. I have BMW 650I 2007. I live in Santiago Chile. 2 weeks ago my mechanic replaced solenoid 4 and 5 on my automatic transmission using the 2 year old transmission fluid to drain and refill. 2 days after I started to experience the following. After I drive my car for a while and I switch off the car for around 2-3 minutes when I try to turn it on again I receive this sign in the dashboard: "Gear maybe engaged without breaking". When this sign comes on the start/stop button goes dead and the gear shifter gets stuck in park. After about 20-30 minutes the car gets back to normal. I complained this issue to the mechanic and he told that the Mechatronic control unit needs to be replaced because it's dying. Does anyone experienced this problem?. It's driving me crazy because before the mechanic changed the 2 solenoid I didn't have this problem at all. Please help. Many thanks.

      Tyre sizes and PSI pressures for my 08 plate 635d Auto

      Hi John Original Equipment when the car was new I believe would have been Bridgestone Potenza RE 050 Run Flats Fronts 245x40xR19 94W Rears 275x35xR19 96W Many have ended up with non run flat tyres either because people didn't like the slightly harsher ride or more often availability when tyre change time came around. Good call on the locking wheel nuts there are enough light fingered little !Removed!'s around don't make life easy for them Dave

      Tyre sizes and PSI pressures for my 08 plate 635d Auto

      Hi Dave. Good morning and thank you for your quick reply. The only reference in the manual is to refer to the label on the 'B' pillar but it does not confirm the tyres actually on the car ! The car has Run-Flat on the front and regular tyres on the rear ! The tyres are as follows :-- Rears Uniroyal RainSport 5 275/35x19 and the fronts Pirelli P Zero 245/40x19 with RSC in a circle. I am going over to my longtime tyre dealer tomorrow for some locking wheel-nuts that have been ordered - the totally refurbished and very well shod 19" wheels are a rather tempting bag for some light fingered individuals.
