My friend is in the process of looking for a BMW 530D M SPORT and as ive always got very good information from the guys on here i thought that maybe you could help him out ,

Is this worth 9k cash no warranty

Del Boy knows his beemers, think Broomies Mate does too?

£9k is a shed load of cash for a car with 120k miles!

[rockhound]

They all seem to be going for more than that,   he been looking for about 2 weeks now and they just seem to hold there money with the new style trip tronic gearbox ,   Hes stressed right out lol

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Does look nice that 

They seem to hold their value whatever milage they are 

[rockhound]

Any BMW gurus on here

[PhilRich]

Spending 9Grand on a motor with no warranty or 3rd Party inspection is madness imho

[martin42]

Does it have the optional indicator stalk? If it does worth the money 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Cheapest buy it now E60 530D i could find, One thing about Audis, Mercedes, BMWs they hold their value better.

Indeed. Jags, Jap cars, Vx, Ford, American, all fall fast. Not sure why Audi/BMW hold on, badge snobness? was in a £24k A6 other day, full of gagets, felt very well built. But ride was quite harsh, both my Omegas are considerably smoother down same bit of road.

That would be my guess 

This "53" 530D has done 235,000 and is just under £4000

Looking at the pictures i'd have never guessed it had done so many miles..

All that mileage and from what i can see not even a stone chip

£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.

MPG looks rather good for the performance, make you wonder...........
