5 series or 3 series touring

[pauldavies85]

I'm looking at changing my everyday car 120d to an estate. I quite fancy something like a 535/530d touring(msport)
I really wanted to know anybody experiences and opinions on models etc.is the 3 worth considering?

My budget is probably upto 23k, but would prefer under 20k.I'm willing to spend if it ensures better car/specs. Oh and I like my extras!my 1 is fully loaded! Missus will prob take over my car as it's been superb

Cheers
Paul

I was in a similar quandary a few months back, I wanted a 530d Touring and she was adamant it had to be a 330d Tourer, so that's what we eventually got, fantastic car and I can't fault it.

However due red tape issues at mine and my partners workplace I can't keep it, I've only had it a month and it has a few toys too, as like yourself I like my toys, it's an AUC bought from BMW in Blackpool if it's of any interest to you. M sport auto too

FWIW this is my 2nd E91 and in all fairness I love them, it's the only car I've had recently that I feel "at home" in

I too was in your situation 3 months ago, stuck between e60 touring or e91. In the end I got the e91, didn't need the extra space as the 3 touring big enough, and obviously slightly more able with it.

The biggest thing for me was the fact that they still make the 3 whereas the f10 is out and coming from a e90 I felt it was backward getting an older model.
