Very good. Personaly I'm very happy with my 530xd. The grip is incredible, comfort is great and engine is very powerfull. Quality is very good.
Can you tell the difference. I've heard other people from 530d to 530xd telling the difference is amazing ...

About the snow, usually we go to Sierra Nevada in south Spain or to Andorra near Barcelona.

Well done on your new car mate.

What about the old one, i have said it before build quality may look good on the surface. In your case not even the surface!

The bottom line is never own an e60 thats not under warranty, i dont think a week has went past that i have not been in the dealer.

Have some fun with your new one though, get a remap first. And post us and tell us how it drives compared to the last one.
