Due to change in employment status had to say goodbye to my 530D M Sport on Wednesday



Said hello to a 2006 325i M Sport on Saturday - 103k on the clock,
Sparkling Graphite Metallic with alcantara. Very pleased so far smile

The vastly superior saloon version of the E9x M3 wink

I'll bite. Why is it superior?

Easier to open shorter doors in a car park. The mark of the ultimate parking machine laugh

Is it because it can double up as a Taxi if required and it's in a colour that looks like light blue and silver rolled into one.

Thanks for your comments - it is in very nice condition. Great fun for mountain roads too!

Interesting that your profile shows you owning this modern. Did you get bored of it quickly or are you tied in to a term?

Subjectively it's superior because of it's looks, it's slightly more aggressive in my eyes.

Objectively it's superior because of the increased practicality.

Err... not sure what's going on there. I've never owned one of them and I've just checked my profile, which shows a photo of the current E39...

That's lovely. And what a playground you have to enjoy it in, too.

My present to myself. A (nearly) new 535d M Sport Touring. A sensible car, in a sensible colour, with a very, very silly engine.

I really do like that!

Decisions decisions. Whatever I swap my 4 series for in September will have this engine at least. I can't imagine having anything else and in a 5 series tourer it's probably a lot better than an X5 for example.

Lovely colour too.

It is tremendous. The engine is daft fast, but without ever feeling manic.

It's an ex-management car, VDC, pan roof, HUD, memory seats, Harmon Kardon and more. I wanted Adaptive Drive and Adaptive Cruise Control but they were pretty much impossible to find on BMW AUC (there are lots of cars advertised as having Adaptive Drive - a phonecall to the dealer will usually uncover that they don't really have it).

In a month it is going to have its legs stretched properly - a drive down to the A5 south of Karlsruhe for the unrestricted autobahn, then onto the Route 500 Schwarzwald Hochstrasse on the way to Lucerne. A couple of day trips to the Furka, San Bernadino and Stelvio Passes and I suspect I might need some new boots (and pants)

I didn't know these were that nippy. Would it keep up with my previous gen 550i?

I expect there wouldn't be much in it.
