This was the last era BMW's still had character, all their models looked different which was nice. Since then its hard to tell what BMW just passed you because they all look the same with the exception of the 1 series and the 8 series.. any way I just picked up my second 530d m-sport E60 today to match the one my wife has.

Mine has done 190k miles on the last service i decided aswell to change the rear diff oil but to my surprise it was still golden but got some fresh millers in it anyway. Check that oil breather on top of the engine mines on a 2006 so by then they had taken the cotton filter out as they clog. Easy job but get a new one on it for £35 as yours could still have the cotton filter in on a 2005.

Cool old car (I think?) ... I think you need to structure your reviews a little better, you repeated yourself about 9 times about the mileage and other bits like the interior etc but never really went into things like load space, common issues etc. Should I buy one? Well I'm not sure - even my old Alfa looked good and had a nice interior but it meant nothing when it blew up at 55k due to an oil pickup issue that hadn't been addressed. What goes wrong with these? What are they like for lugging kids and shopping around? What's the tax and insurance like for you? Just seems like you didn't really plan what you wanted to cover and ended up saying nothing for 10 minutes.

Dashboard costantly lit up like a Christmas tree, dmf's don't last 2 minutes when the car is remapped, the rocker cover oil leak was a ball ache. Loads of little niggles with this car. Well over engineered. So unreliable, especially with the shitty "bulletproof timing chain driven engines" 🤣 crock of shit they are. Yes E60's look great even today, but they are all money pits...
