Hi All
Ive now had my 54 530d auto se sport since june 08 and am enjoying the ownership experience, has been very reliable to date despite having 85k miles when purchased and now has 94k , work done so far :
run flats changed for conti non runflats ( has sport suspension and the ride was just too firm )
Engine Oil service by myself
Transmission oil change, by transmission specialist ( Oakdene of Nottingham )
Ive found the forum a great source of info and hope my experience can be of use to others.

I just realised you have an "se sport". I thought in the UK you only can get the SE or the Sport, but not both together??
