Nice car, but your hedge could do with a trim Del!!

I know you can get the 2.0d's with a proper manual box, can you get the 3.0's as a manual too?

Yeah can get these in manual too. The manuals are horrible though, and slower .

Would imagine that a manual would be harder to sell on as well, due to being less desirable on this type of car. The monstrous torque, linked to the auto-box, is great for the smile factor at traffic lights.

Plod originally bought manuals, but quite quickly discovered that they have clutch temp sensors clutch gets hot and shuts the car down, really useful in high speed work

Not surprisingly, almost all plod are autos

Looks ok to me 

Mind you, I prefer the shape and design of the E60 / E61 5 Series personally.

We have 3 of the manual versions at work, DMF's have gone in all of em at fairly low miles. The eldest one is on its 3rd one at 70k. Great engines though, we never had the problems that Taxi al quoted though. We're actually getting the newer 535d's soon  and for the unmarked series 3's with the 3l lump 

Still prefer the Volvo though, awesome power and quicker from a start. We did have the Jaaaaag XF on test, wish we could get that.............Pretty plllllleeeeeeaaaasseeee!!!! lol

Sounds like Police car talk for a force somewhere

Heard that from a PVEC member who has recently aquired a 5 series diesel auto

Aye, was just pulling his leg police now days get some really nice cars, N.Wales had Volvo V70 2.3T for years still do have s few but past year or so seen many 5 series E60 estates not sure what engines but probably diesel and the odd Audi A6 estate.. Pandas Ford Focus.. Not one VX police car of any type around here although saw a Zafira once could have been from a different force markings didn't look from around here
