Well, as the topic says really!

My current E60 530d SE is getting a little long in the tooth so it?s time for an upgrade.

I test drove a Audi RS6, but honestly it was too fast! The 12mpg hurt too much. I've been thinking of leaving the bmw marque purely due to cost of used and approved in their dealerships. I was wondering if any 535s were about but the only sub 20k ers are very low spec.

Then, Friday night 12.30am I?m smoking a tab browsing the net via the iPhone and i stumble across a garage with a 2005 535d M Sport that?s right on the money for me. Up early and i have secured myself a winner. Whilst i was at the dealership two people called and a chap turned up about 10 mins after i arrived interested in it too!

She's carbon black, 52k just serviced and the spec is perfect.

Sat Nav, DVD player with twin rear screens linked to a 10 disc multi changer in the boot. Wireless headphones!
Black Ash Wood Trim, Bluetooth, Logic 7, iPod Connection, Media Pack, Sports seats, PDC front / rear,
Sunroof, heated front seats, Anthracite headlining......

It has the usual xenon?s etc.

Pick it up on Thursday afternoon, can't wait!

Here?s some pics off the dealership website

Congrats! She's a beauty. Are you going to remap the ECU? I see that you were thinking about it for your 530d.

Yeap, i'll probably wait a couple of months and then consider the remap and possibly an exhaust.

I doubt that BMW will ever bring the 535d to the US.
