Gonk Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 or if you want some fun on the cheap with all the luxury Approved Used Jaguar Cars
twin--turbo Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 My 123d is a diesel, twin turbo for that matter Fully aware of that and Spent time looking at 530D's but that was when I was looking at doing 25-30K a year. The BMW straight 6 petrols are fantastic engines too. Rob
twin--turbo Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Have to be careful with diesels if your doing low mileage, it would be a lot more fun and a lot better for the engine if you went for petrol if your only doing 6k miles a year Garage hate DPF's almost as much as injectors. Rob
andrew_91090 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Garage hate DPF's almost as much as injectors. Rob Telling me!! Taken my Qashqui in twice now because of the DPF's and they either don't want to do them or their 'Too busy'
CHR1S Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 Well, Ive seen a Jag XF, sat in it, started it, nice cars but didn't quite do it for me. I havent found a nice Audi in my price range either... I am however going to test drive a 530d with every option box ticked on Saturday. Thanks All
DrPerceptron Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 What about a C or E class merc? Vauxhall VXR8? (definitely ticks the fun box... probably none of the others though)
Danp Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 BMW 5 series all the way, but I would say that, I have 2 of them for now, one will be replaced with an X5 this year. 1
twin--turbo Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Looks nice, would be a tourer for me though. Never gona happen unless something strange hapens in the world of I.T. Pay round here. TT
Danp Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 So ye, I brought this.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]22276[/ATTACH] Fine choice there Chris. Hope to see you on bmw5 forum ;-)
36Degrees Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 So ye, I brought this.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]22276[/ATTACH] boo hiss! I have an E60 530i SE which although being a nice car and a bargain when I bought it I miss the Sport pack (previously had a E39 528i Sport, before that an E34 525i Sport and before that a E24 628CSi with a lot of sport options). Would love a 535d or 530d Sport...
CHR1S Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Going from the 204 bhp of the 123d to the 232 bhp im starting to think this might be remapped. It feels much faster!! (It does have 100nm more torques too) Edited January 13, 2014 by CHR1S
