Stop me from buying a 535D!
Discussion
Hi guys,
So I've been working hard to save money over the last couple of years, since having graduated from university I have been working in IT for two years as well as keeping my part time weekend job at Sainsbury's since college days.
Anyways after graduating from University I purchased a BMW 530D LCI M Sport and have had it for three years now and absolutely love it even to date! It has cost me a lot on repairs (over 4k, luckily I had warranty that covered most of this). So I think it is now time to sell it as it is getting old and mileage getting higher, do not want it to start costing as well as not having warranty on it anymore.
Over the last couple years I have saved up a decent 30k and considering cashing a property and renting it out for extra income on the side (I work 7 days, so do not have time for any other way of income really).
But now that I have the money in my account I am very tempted to buy a new car, as some of you may have already experienced, it's hard downgrading after owning such a great car! The car that really has caught my eye is the F10 535D, read many reviews on it and found it to be THE CAR to have, economy, power and driving appeal it just ticks all the boxes!
Here is the link to it: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2017...
Obviously it will be covered under BMW warranty and will probably renew it for the second year, I am considering keeping it for 2 years or maybe 3. It is fully loaded and has all the extras I could dream of as well as the awesome looking interior.
I am 25 and could do with some advise on whether I am being stupid in even considering it and that I should use my money else where.
Cheers!

Thanks for everyone's replies ! All make sense, being 25 and the youth living by YOLO - You Only Live Once I think it is what's tempting me so much!
But you are right I did not consider the new diesel laws, I have had a drive in a 535D and was totally blinded by the power/torque as well as the economy it was returning!
Coming from real Petrol Heads I will take these advises and keep stacking up
, aim is to save up more and invest! May keep my 5 series for now as it still is an awesome car to me!
And one day I will end up with a M5! Hopefully!
