Well I went to the bank on sat morning and lifted £3500 and waited on call. Mid afternoon the call came and excitement rose only to be told he changed his mind!!!! Aaaaaargh back to square one I'm afraid.
-
Yep think it will be a dreat deal if it comes off. I'll know by Saturday . He going for a Vw gti. Had a few beemers but just fancies a change.
-
It's a friends car that he trading in and just doesn't want to give it away to a garage that will have it on their forecourt for a grand more the next day!!! So hopefully if he goes for the one he wants he,ll sell it to me at trade value. I'll know by Saturday so fingers crossed.

Hi all. Just see update on my hunt for new beemer. May have a good chance of getting a 525d touring with great spec, leather and the like. Good tyres all round and excellent body condition. 125k with full service history and plenty of receipts. Had a test drive and it was like wow! Pulls like a train and from third with boot down it just goes. Oh and it's on a 55 plate, looking at £3500. Any advice, thoughts etc extremely welcome.
-
Yep totally agree Paul. I had a run in my neighbours and the acceleration was just immense. Seemless power throughout But my thinking on the x5 is just purely practical due the crazy weather and as hailing from Bonnie Scotland I just know the white stuff on its way!!!! My street has a slight and I mean slight incline and the e39 slides about like crazy when there is a slight sniff of snow!!! And yeah been reading some comments on the x5 owners forum and the v8,s seem to be the dogs !Removed!.
-
Yep they are amazing. My boy racer neighbour got one, 03 plate convertible putting out 350 bhp , he spent a fortune on it and offered it to me for 8k!!! Don't think I could spend that on an 03 plate. Will keep the search going though even thinking of dabbling down the x5 route! Anyone know any good ones😁
-
I must agree with you Paul on the looks. Side by side I think I would always pick the coupe in e46 guise, think they look great. Newer models I'm not so sure! Been to see couple of 07 plate coupes and frying my brain wether to put down deposit on one or hold out for a nice e46. Suppose there are worse things to be worrying about!!!
-
To be honest I don't mind if I find either or,petrol or the diesel. I'm gony defo concentrate on service history and as mick said check out as much receipts as possible. Only ever had a four door and was wondering if you guys know of any pros and cons of the coupes? just me and the wife as well!!! Lol
-
Hey mick cheers for the advice. I'm actually still on the hunt for car! Ive been to see a good few beemers and couple of audis and I must agree that the 3.0l cars seem to be the way to go. Pertol prices are better as well at last! Got 4K now as well lol. Fingers crossed January will be a good month.

Hi guys and gals. I'm now in the position of choosing one of the above, at the moment I have an e39 which being a 1999 model is getting bit long in the tooth as they say. It's been a great car and never really let me down. I reckon I can spend up to 3500 in my next Beemer and in you guys expert opinion which you think the way to go? I know it's quite a broad question with spec and fuel type to consider but thought I'll just ask and see wher opinions favour. Thank you

Cheers again TT. Was going to get onto to YouTube earlier but got all I need from your post. Very helpful indeed. Hopefully after bleeding I can ditch the thermals, wooly bunnet,duffle coat and survival suit every time I go for a drive. 😬
-
Cheers TT. I'm going to try bleeding the system first and see how that goes. Even the polar bears would avoid my Beemer first thing in a freezing morning! ⛄️

Hello Phil. Just purchased my 2nd Beemer so joined the club and here I am. North Lanarkshire
-
Done bit more research myself on the subject! Google is great! And after a good hour or so it seems the majority believe in the normal cheap stuff, and I say that with tongue firmly in cheek. So I'll let the fatcat oil execs get a couple a mill bonus instead of their usual hundreds of mills! I don't think my new big baby will unlove me for it😳
-
Yeah I defo will give them a call even out if courtesy as them being on here and you never know jethro could work out for both parties. I just thought the quote I got was took good to be true.
