I'll be upgrading cars shortly and I am fairly set on a LCI (2007>) BMW E60 535D, but before I buy one I want to make sure that I am not over-looking any other cars that rivals it.

What other sports saloon has as much luxury and power for under £20K?

Why would you want to compare sports saloons to a 535D exec cruiser ???

Do you want a sports saloon or a 535D might be a better first question to answer .....

Does it have to be diesel or this age? How are you defining "sports". Pretty sure a Jag XJR can be had for this money and with more power.

I should have phrased that differently.

I'm looking for something along the lines of a 535D in size and price.

Diesel would be my first choice, but wouldn't rule out petrol.

Cars I've considered - 535D, RS4, E90 M3 (OK, a bit more expensive but not out the question)

Cars along the lines of those.

hehe

Sorry to laugh, but you want something which is like a 535D in size and price. And diesel would be your first choice.

And the other two cars on the shortlist are both a class down, a size smaller and sip the fuel from a pump which is not your first choice.

lol, not sure I follow. If you want diesel why was the M3 and RS4 a consideration? Not too mention both being a model range smaller than the 5 Series.
