Thanks for all your help. I've gone with the 530d, the look around video of the 545d showed a lot of wear and tear, which didn't convey s great deal of care, together with the mot history. I'll be a bimmer owner again in 3 days 🙌

Do you think these could indicate a poor service history? I don't have visibility of that yet on the 353d but will later today.

Morning Dave, The 2014 is from a mitsubishi dealership, the other from vauxhall (or lookers). I don't think the 530d would have been auctioned as it was a trade in with only two owners. But I'll check with the 353d. Is this something the dealers will know? Also, if you don't mind me saying, why would it matter? The 350d, has passed alll mots withs no advisories, but you'd probably expect that only doing 25k miles. The 353d has had some: https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/results/?registration=YD65VLP I'm not too sure if these are bad? One in particular was: Repair immediately (major defects): Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a)) Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage damaged and seriously weakened snapped (5.3.3 (b) (i)) Repair as soon as possible (minor defects): Offside Front Direction indicator lens defective which has no effect on emitted light wing mirror (4.4.1 (b) (i)) Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories): Offside Rear Child Seat fitted not allowing full inspection of adult belt Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) Nearside Rear Nail in tyre tpms light on dash

Hi all, I'm hoping this is the last bit of advice before making my purchase today. After many weeks of annoying my family I have decision to make between two cars. 2014 530d with 25k miles £19,499, with 12 months warranty. Or 2015 535d with 46k miles £18,999, standard 3 month warranty. Both in excellent condition and being bought from a main dealer. Nothing else really separating the two. So my thinking is maintaince costs, and eventual resale value? Can't choose?? Any help really appreciated.

Thanks Dave, I've checked a few of the valuation sites, with varying prices. 'What car' actually says £20k, but others say around the £18k mark so I'm proper confused. I'm just wary about spending 20k on a ~10 year old car.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but have owned two 3 series BMs in the past. Currently driving a "ahem" , Audi A6 (sorry!), but looking to buy a 2014 3ltr 5 series with only 25k miles and us priced at £19,999. But they'll go down to £19,499 at the lowest. The is also in excellent condition and I've test driven the car which drives very well. Not too sure on the rules but just wanted to ask if I could post a link to the car to see if the price is right? I feel the price is too high but wanted to get a second opinion. If its OK I can post the link? Thanks in advance.
