Posted December 15, 2016 1 hour ago, NewNiceMrMe said: Aye, whatever. As we've now got the 535i as well as the 530i and 535d in the equation, I think we should throw in the 318i, M5, 650i and the 116d. I mean, why the feck not? What's the residuals like on those? 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 15, 2016 Depends on the winding mechanism. Kinetic versions fetch a lot more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 15, 2016 Buy the lowest km 530i that you can afford that has the best service history and is well cared for (nice bodywork/interior) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 16, 2016 As has been said by a few above now, just because it drives better does not mean it is the best car for what you want it for! The 5 litre M5 V10 is EVEN MORE AWESOME, why not get one of them instead if that is your sole logic for the decision? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2016 .....because 535d 2008 costs same money like 530i.... M5 certainly not.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2016 Why even consider the 535d on 10,000km per year? It would only make sense if you wanted it for the performance - because they are very quick. Again though, you've said servicing costs is a concern. If that's the case, don't buy the 535d, or the 530i, or the 535i, or anything similar. On 2008 cars you're not going to see much difference in servicing costs. Let's say it would be €200 more to service the diesel (for example). If €200 more per service isn't viable for you then I would say you shouldn't be looking at the other cars either. You could say the 535d will be return more mpg - but you're only doing 10,000km per year and performance is of interest to you - so you're probably not going to benefit from diesel economy unless you do a lot of long runs in the car. That's me done now though because some of this just doesn't make sense in terms of the cars you're looking at and the things you say matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2016 Whenever I have bought an automatic car with over 120,000 miles on it, I get the automatic fluid changed. In my Audi A8s, about £350. My Audi diesels have got up 280,000 miles - same engine, gearbox. No issues. If the car is old, but has low miles - be careful! It hasn't been used properly!!!! Newer, with much higher miles - much better!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 19, 2016 You wouldn't expect to change any fewer or more things just because it's a diesel car. Go back to the beginning - buy as new a car as you can with as few KM on it as you can with as much power as you can - all within your budget. If you don't have a budget, buy something else.

That's like asking how many ridiculous questions you can ask about what car to choose based on not actually knowing what you want to buy in the first place. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) ??? I thinking about 535d but for my budget there is only with about 200K KM so.... my question is what lifetime has automatic transmission .... Edited December 19, 2016 by jencki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2016 That's like asking what lifetime does a human have. It depends how old the car is, how it's been driven, how it's been looked after. Just go and buy a car, will you. I'm getting bored now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Try again!!!! Look, sorry to be abrupt. But, if you want a diesel, buy one, it is the wrong car for you, but buy it. When you buy high mileage cars stuff goes wrong & costs money, if you can't afford it you are stuffed. Life's like that sometimes. After all, it is better to regret the things you did rather than didn't do! Edited December 19, 2016 by E-bmw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2016 We're back to why I originally left the conversation then. Buy a newer, lesser, car with lower miles as Mook said. Get a third party warranty. Problem solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
