Hi all,

Now i am not being lazy here because i have been looking for days now, but i need some direction on where to find the motor i am after. I am looking for either a BMW 520d or 530d but i am being fussy about the full requirements

Location: NorthWest
M Sport
Black \ Carbon Black \ Blue
Under 80k
Year: 2006\2007
Black Leather
Auto
Budget under 14k

Sounds easy but there are about 3 on AutoTrader within my region and most are manual else where, fords of winsfords etc
Every so often they come round but i am always to late or the motor needs to be walked away from.

just wondered if anybody knew of any BMW emporium where i could take my pick

There's a big difference between a 20 and a 30 mate I would decide which of those you want first then start looking.

Thanks for the reply,

I did originally start looking at 520d, but then found a 530d filling all the requirements so i am going to look at that over the weekend.

just out of interest why should i decide on one or the other, they are both beautiful cars i only different by engine size or am i missing so much more?

I think you're right about widening my location but even on nation wide search there isn't a great deal I thought the BMW was one of the most common cars just shows people are hanging on to them

These days you need to travel nationwide if you want to find the right car at the right price. Don't limit yourself to your local area.
