My Ride: On Order, due in May - 2007MY 530D SE, Silver Grey, Black Dakota, Auto, Brushed aluminium shadowline,sports seats / wheel, hi fi speakers, mats, space saver wheel and a few more bits
Confirmed my order today (530D) but saw, while driving home tonight in my toy A4 a nightmare. A brand new (55 plate UK) Ti Silver 530 D Sport (?42K) being loaded on a trailer with an irate looking (too young) male driver jumping in to the pick up truck. I tried to run over and check out the issue but was too late - it drove off. Could it just have been an out of fuel issue or could it be possible a new 5'er can break down!!!

Your glory time will soon come and after that you'll smile all the time.
As you said, even a BMW needs petrol or diesel to run...
But some put petrol in a diesel car and that makes a fatal problem.
I've seen this happen!

I'm sure you are right - the driver looked like he was up to something wrong
dont sweat it. At the end of the day you DO have comprehensive insurance

My Ride: F11 520d white, auto, professional sat-nav with internet, variable damper control, sports steering wheel, extended lighting, retractable tow bar, wing mirrors with dimming & folding, full electric seats with memory & lumber adjustment, etc.
Compared to my previous E-Class the 530d I have has been flawless on reliability thus far. Dont worry it will be all right on the night!
