Hi all,
I'm from the UK and am currently specing 2nd hand E60s around MY05. Got loads of questions about it and what I should look out for and the difference between specs but I'll ask them in the appropriate sections.
I own an MG ZT CDTi presently which shares the M47 2Litre Diesel (although slightly more reliable in the MG application with a different turbo
). Its been fettled to 170bhp and drives very nice for a large car. Its on 120k miles and is time to chop it in for a 535d
I used to own a 330d E46 some time ago and love the smoothness of the deisel 6's. So thats my aim.
Thanks
