Auc e60 520d se

[Matt99man]

Ok well I'm looking at a second car, something to soak up the miles and have more room than my e92 325i, It's a standard vehical, I'm well up on 3 series but not the 5. What should I be looking for? They seem to come with a few toys as standard, its the 163 bhp I'm looking at, how does this compare to the 218 e92?

Do you mean 'with few toys' rather than 'with a few'? Because they're quite bare, no automatic climate control (just basic air-con) etc.

I don't know how likely it is that you'll find full climate control but look for that. Also, professional nav, some sort of hi-fi upgrade, CD changer (that wasn't standard, though you can still fit an iPod connector if you don't have it), at least 17" wheels (because the E60 dwarfs anything smaller; even the 18"s on mine don't look that big). Then there are nice to haves like leather (and there are at least 3 different types of leather), comfort or sports seats, sports steering wheel, xenons, memory seats (they are part electric as standard though), extended lighting pack etc etc. Loads of little details were optional.
