My Ride: E61 530d Touring, May 2004
On the BMW website there is a button which shows cars coming soon. That's how I located my 530d Touring (May 2004, purchased Sept 2004)
Seem to be quiten a few around if prepared to travel - most dealers will deliver

[/quote]Hi
No this was not mine. I was interested as my wife has a near identical car and we were thinking about getting a 7 seater due to 3 small children.
The guy told me he ended the auction as he sold it for ?28k private.

idoru, thanks for your experiences.?
I am, as you've guessed, trying to sell my E46 and had been considering buying a new E91 however I'm not that impressed by the looks.?

[/quote]Went by our local dealer the other week and there was a silver E91 325i in the showroom - have to say I was really quite smitten... still don't like the 6-series type grille, but from every other angle the car looked very nice. Looked very like a smaller E61 - that said, it seemed tiny compared to my 525d.

[/quote]I've bought the car!! Picked it up on Tuesday and I love it. Managed to get the price down a bit too. Also had them fit an Aux audio input but it doesn'y work so it'll have to back which is a bit of a pain. The previous owner hasn't looked after the wheels too well, not that they've been kirbed, they're just caked in brake dust. Hopefully I can sort that out at the weekend.
When I was picking it up they had an E91 330i in the showroom. Very nice but it just didn't feel big enough for me.
