Well spoken! Have the exact same idea. 535d or LCI530d if I stay in the tractor segment. Could I get rid of my job commute I'd go for a 545 or 550 no doubt. Don't think the almighty M will fit my budget unfortunately....
That's where I am at. I now wish I bought a V8, because I only use the car at weekends now, but at the time of purchase I had a longer commute. (I'd probably also now get crippled on some kind of crazy Danish tax for having a bigger engine )

I went from an LCI to a pre-LCI, which meant worse fuel economy primarily due to the automatic. That genuinely did bother me quite a lot at first, because it did seem wrong, but I've learnt to live with it

I hope that this means that all of your "headaches" with your E61 are now a thing of the past.
It only took 7 visits to the garage, being without the car >60 days so I'm a very happy and pleased customer.

Ouch. I suppose that you are now very familiar with the 1er...

However, it ended well and just in time for spring weather!

Post a new pic of your E61 in the picture thread!!
