Looking to upgrade from my e36.

Note, the listing does say there is a defect in the steering wheel electrical adjustment .

Nice looking e60, does look sharp in White.

imho I'd go 530 at least but harder to get. Would get checked out PPI of cause.

Electrical wheel adj shouldn't be a major to go without if the wheels not badly placed, lots of seat adj to compensate.

Love my E61 awesome touring car, get a good one you'll love it

Thanks

Got a 15 limit so dont think I could afford anything more than this.

Bit gutless. You should go for a 530d. They are great. Few in your price range.

Definitely look at one with a bigger engine, these are gutless. 530, diesel or petrol, or even the v8s as they are starting to come down in price.

Heres a 530 from the same dealer I got mine from, decent bloke and I've never said that about a dealer before.

$16k but non m sport

On a slightly different track and with your 15k budget/limit have you considered importing a car from Japan yourself. Their have been a few come up and they have been around the 10, 11 thousand mark for 05 06's with K's ranging from 60 to 90 thousand k.

Can do you my 530d Motorsport for 16500. High Kms but NZ New and full service history. And diesel so it doesn't matter. Leaves the petrol for dead off the line.

[dreamkast 5]

All the 530d or 530i are either out of my price range for the nicer looking low k ones or done too many K's for my liking and look too standard.

[dreamkast 5]

Sorry man really looking for something under 100,000 k's

Decided against it, thanks for the advice. Gonna keep looking but for another 3 series instead with the Msport.
