Its been 4 years since my last car (way too long) and since the arrival of our daughter 2 weeks ago Ive needed something more practical than my previous coupe.
Today I picked up a 2006 BMW 535D, loaded with loads of extras on 40k miles.
I wont go on about the spec, but its 278 bhp, 0-60 in 6 seconds, twin tubo etc etc
For a diesel, I am very pleased!
For anyone semi interested, its about the only diesel car that top car have taken around their track and actually gave good remarks (YouTube Video here).
Also got 42 mpg on the way home earlier (mainly motorway)
Heres a couple of better pics, although im not great with a camera!

Asking price was £23k, got it for £21k, but I need to tax it at the end of this month.

I've always liked the look of these cars, as I've said many a times though I know fuck all about BMW's nor really care for them, but these I do like.

Yes, they easily go to 340/350 bhp.
but with that said, I let my old personalised number plate go and planned to get a new one with this car, so im not sure which to get first!
