My Ride: Possible E61 530D
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
As title suggests, what should I be weary of on these? Its an 04 reg SE with 87k on the clock, manual box, heated leather and all that jazz.
I had an E60 530D (same 218bhp) variant and had a few problems with run flat tires, this one doesn't have them thank god! But does have a DPF, not too worried about this as I can have a few tweaks done to prevent it from blocking, swirl flap delete would be done immediately, and EGR delete, along with a Stage 1 map, get a few bits cleared up before they have chance to give me any issues.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, the dealership wants £5450 for it btw, just so you can take price into consideration, from photos there's a few little scuffs on front and rear bumpers but they look like relatively easy fixes, but cosmetic stuff like that doesn't bother me. Want a motor that is mechanically sound obviously!
Thanks in advance, btw I'm viewing it tomorrow morning!
