Look what I bought





To go on this car:





Both bumpers require some work but this is fine as it gives me time to save up for getting them painted

Nathy that is some memory you have got used to have one years ago.


J10e - not seen many 530d sports with manual gearbox. All seem to be auto or close to 200k miles.

What year/ mileage is it?
Any problems?
MPG?
I'm looking at e39 530d's but want a sport for seats and better looking bumpers.

It's a 2002 02 plate 530D SE. I bought it with 103.5k Miles, now on 118k.

This one is manual. Not had any problems really, low brake pad light came on after a lot of rain ( Sensor got soaked probably).


MPG varies a lot. Round town - 30-35. take it on longer journey 45-50 without trying.

What are you driving now? I still keep looking out for a red Ibiza but could never remember the reg

Tow bar will be coming off I think. It is a detachable one, so I will see if I can keep it with the new bumper and just remove the diffuser if I need to use the tow bar.

If it has a tow bar it needs detecting IMO... There's a green berg corsa with one near me, horrid
