Thanks for searching -- hope you had fun in the process 
Not quite what I'm after, but if do happen to stumble across a M-Sport 530dA from a (BMW) dealer, then let me know!!...
(I've just got to used to the 6 cyl now, not sure if I could go back to a 4cyl just yet)

He's asking ? 50k (it costs over ? 110k new), but that's including Dutch VAT AND the dreadfull luxury tax (BPM). The latter can be returned if the car is exported. It's over ? 16.000,-, so the car will come at approx. ? 33 - 34.000,- (or less, depending on tax!). Normally, the cars in The Netherlands are way too expensive (due to the high tax), but not many know that the tax can be refunded (only with export)!

Excellent, BMWMB is buying the drinks!! 
On a slightly different topic... I bought a new car last night!!
Its a July 2005 E61 530dA (218ps/500nm) Touring M-Sport in Carbon Black with the black Flashlight/Walknappa-leather interior and nice options such as Panoroma Glass Roof, Nav-Pro, Logic7 and Aktive Steering. Some BMW dealers have been running a promotion during November whereby selected used cars would be reduced in price by 1% every day... when I bought mine yesterday it had been reduced by 24% from ?29800 to ?22600!! I've been following the market closely for the last month and this is around 5K cheaper than anything I have seen out there from a BMW dealer. I've never seen such a p*ssed off sales guy in all my life, because he knew that the car could easily be sold for more if it hadn't been selected for the promotion
I take delivery on the 12th December. Sorted!
Here's the add:
530dA_Msport.pdf
And here's the only pic I have of my new pride and joy:
After I put my 128 winter rims on it should look something like this:
Obviously I'll post up some more pics and details in another thread as soon as I get my hands on her....

Congratulations on the new car Pete. That's one heck of an option list - you definitely got a great deal on a very complete car. Can't wait to see the pics and then see it in the flesh!

Thanks guys!
Whilst looking closer at Tourings as part of my car-buying research, I realised just how many awesome E61s we have here at E60.NET... and I'm looking forward to being part of the club...
