£9000 is about the right money, the 3.0 diesel generally reliable, make sure you start it from cold, any judder when cold is likely to be an injector or a glow plug issue. Check the running temperature on the secret menu, if it doesn't sit at anything between 88-95 the EGR and or main thermostats will need changing. They're good cars, go really well, and that one is quite well specced so will fetch £9000.
Would you say the 530i is a more reliable engine, Especially when it comes to high mileage examples ?... These E60's are really growing on me just not their prices
EDIT: Which BMW Specification would be similar to Elite, I presume M Sport would be the equivalent to the MV6.

The argument over range is not a problem for us. 95% of my trips are below 30 miles, I would say that 98% were below 15. I commute to work on the bike/train.
The leaf is not designed to be your long distance car. If all you do is short journeys a couple of times a day then it will definitely be a suitable choice for you. For those situations where a bot more range is required from time to time then you have 2 choices, have another car available or hire one. Don't forget I am saving at least 2 thousand quid a year on fuel , maybe 3. But I means I get to keep the jag for now for those longer trips and for when I need to take the bike to a race albeit on a reduced mileage insurance.
The leaf is made for shopping, school run, family trips in the local area, short commutes, etc. Inside is quite roomy, I am quite comfortable in the back which is rare in cars this size.
It fits our needs and situation nicely, it won't be for everyone. It would be absolutely perfect if it had the means of fitting a bike rack. One thing is for sure, as batteries develop over the net few years; watch this space. EVs are getting better.
