That's nice Andy!  :y

Which model? Petrol/diesel?  ???

Hello! It's a 530D M Sport with a few options (thankfully the first owner paid for those!). Took me 11 Months of looking and rejecting cars for one reason or another, not helped by the ever rising prices currently.

The last of the ones with tolerable looks (how have they managed to make the new models so bloody awful), enjoy, service it well and I am sure it will last as well as the Omegas did  :y

Yup! The best looking one for a long time and yet never seemed as popular with buyers as the older ones...

I'm going to get the Gearbox filter and fluid service kit for it ASAP and get Serek to do that job for me (far easier on a ramp!!!), I will be doing the engine oil and filter every 5K the same as I have always done with my Omega's, I too am hopeful it will last me as long as the Omega's have.  :y

Serviced properly, it should easily see 150k :y

Only notable issue my Bro had with his '62 330D was an egr cooler failure, but easy enough to get to at the front of the head. Which is nice 8)

Used the heated seat in the RRS for the first time ever , pulled my back digging some roots out over the weekend, terrible lower back pain SWMBO suggested a little heat may help it did for a while.

Go and see a chiropractor if your back pain persists Mick.  :y
