My dad has had the e90 330i e92 335i now has the new 525i, my best mate has the 320 ed (67mpg average he drives 80mph on motorway and round town) I have been looking at the 116 ed as my next car when the clio dies (more mpg/power/better looking than the new civic (company car)).

Some people have problems and personally have had a few niggles (335 spoiler decided to vacate the car at over 160 (no limiter)) but would always go bmw over audi, merc ect.

All I will say is, unless you want to end up owning one, do NOT drive one...

Got a problem if he drives at 80mph round down *wink*

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I know, I'm part way there, I've got the proper CAN BUS wiring loom for it, plus I've got the proper BMW lower rear bumper section which has a detachable "hatch" in it so you can remove the towbar and then clip the hatch back in so its virtually invisible, and have had it painted the matching colour.
Only things stopping me are, £200 for a decent detachable towbar, I've got a 3.2 diesel Shogun that already has a towbar and can do the same job.


PF jones ebay shop has the westfalia detachables on offer at £200. i bought and fitted mine last week. won the canbus wiring a few weeks earlier. pretty trivial to wire only aquard one being removing the back seat to get to the high level brake wiring. all other lights are in the canbus.

proper price for the westfalia bar is near £400 IIRC so makes it worthwhile imho.

towed for the first time yesterday, i have a large twin axle steel trailer, and with a corsa on it my mondeo TDCi would start to swing around 60 if the road wasnt great, the bm was solid as a rock, and the canbus wiring automatically disabled the rear parking sensors too fantastic towcar, i just wish mine was an auto for towing, feel like the clutch takes a beating on hill starts.

I considered it to the point of going and looking at a couple yesterday. Neither of them where 530s so I didn't bother driving one, but the decision is made....

I got an 08 530d back in August (E60) and absolutely love it... It has absolutely everything and is a joy to drive (including heated seats lol). Plenty of poke!

I did trade in a 2001 E39 and that was a fantastic car too, really loved the shape of that one. Both cars are M sport models so they look the part as well!

Anyway, it's the 5 series all the way for me... Only had this one a couple of months and already looking at the newer models!

Do get one.... You will love it!
