Hello fellow fanatics,
The time has come to replace my trusty Golfie now. Today I test drove an E39 530d and all I can say is WOW!
However the asking price is rather high (read 99k) which is getting really really close to E60 money.
SO do I perhaps splash out a little more for a clean E60 530d? I've had a look on the Autotrader and there seem to be quite a few nice options available with some nicely spec'd vehicles too.
I know that the E39's are prone to some issues, Gearbox, Swirl Flaps and so forth.
What issues are the early E60's prone to as I dont really know all that much about them? (2004/2005?)
My heart tells me E39, but my brain says E60
