Were there not any 5 series in the show room that you could have sat in confused.gif

Have to say, I wouldn't spend that sort of money without making sure that I like that car first.

Good luck though beerchug.gif

There were no facelifted cars available, I believe they have only just gone into production. I just know the 5 series is the car for me, I have loved the shape ever since they first arrived, and I must have read every review possible on the 535d. 286bhp, 0-60 in 6.4 lovely.

To be honest, I am happy with the deal, I have still saved the best part of 4k from list price. Its nice to know I am dealing directly with the main dealer, My father bought from the internet only to end up with a pre registered car and nearly 9 months wait for the car!

Sounds good - you'll enjoy it 169144-ok.gif

I've had quite a few cars that I've not test driven first, including my first E61 525d M Sport. I've also ordered a B6 A4 Avant, B5.5 A4 Avant, MB E Class, E46 BMW 330d M Sport, MINI Cooper and a Megane without test driving. So far I've not been disappointed by any of them. To be fair though, the first 3 were company cars...

Coast2Coast use a London dealer ( i dont know which one ) , i dont think you will get that deal matched by your local dealer ( trust me ive tried ). Coast only get the discount on the basis of shifting so many cars per year.

Been thinking about it, and I am going to change my order tomorrow to a 525d M Sport Auto, I have worked out that the 535 engine works out about 7k on top of a 525d. The facelifted 525d gains 20bhp ( now 197 ) and sub 8.0 second 0-60 with fuel consumption almost identical to a 520d. I will stick with all the same options and obviously add the Auto and metallic paint. The only thing I will not have is the new lane departure system which is standard on the 535d. The new figure should be £37k.

Well if you look at figures for the updated model, the 525d auto is more economical than the 520d.

520d urban-30.4

extra urban- 51.4

combined-40.9

525d urban 33.2 up 26.72% on pre facelift

extra urban-53.3 up 16.89%

combined-43.5 up 21.51%

So as the 520d remains the same, the 525d becomes more economical, and also gains 20bhp. Cant lose really 169144-ok.gif

Dont forget I am quoting auto figures for both cars, I have the january 2007 dealer briefing for the 5 series LCI update (March facelift vehicles). The website is not showing the power increase for the 525d, shows 177 instead of 197.

March 24th for LCI update, think the reason is 520 still has the older version of the auto box whereas all the 6 cylinder model have new type auto box. wink.gif
