New daily - E39 530i

[ImysE30]

Nice barge, looking for one myself now ! Need 4 doors, child seats don't fit too well in a 2 door

Finding a decent one is hard work.

What engine are you looking for?

Tell me about it! Most are battered shitters now.

2.5 or 3.0, only do local miles so fuel consumption isn't a problem.

[maxfield]

I don't do a lot of miles, mines averaging 19.6mpg at the minute.

Also after a week of owning the car, I've noticed it sometimes tramlines, there's no play in anything whatsoever, I will take it to my mates at get it 4 wheel aligned properly and see what it's like after, the tyres are wearing uneven so it could be down the that.

Also I could do with a detailing guru to tell me what are reasonably priced products.

[DanThe]

14mpg average from my E39, which is great considering I pay 48p per litre for fuel

[jimbom30cab]

I absolutely loved my e39, such a solid and comfortable car to drive, a real pleasure on a long cruise. Being totally honest here (modern gizmos aside) i think i'd prefer it to the modern euro box wagon i drive now. BMW got it just right with the e39 in my view.

[Andyboy]

Is that £120k in Mansfield? I have never been to that neck of the woods, but guess it's decent? What's the rental income like *

Asking for Diable.

You know, I had only just forgotten how fabulously successful and wealthy he is.

[pukar]

that's just nuts! i have a baby due......er, tomorrow! i was also looking at an e39 530i for a daily hack, the c2 coupe is going to be a bit of a mission with 2 kids....i have considered removing the passengers seat and soldiering on though...

[Simon13]

u need an e46 wagon minimum for two sprogs. its what we have

[ImysE30]

^^^ Finding a good one of those in decent spec is difficult too.

[bss325i]

That's what my family bus is.

330i m sport wagon.

[DanThe]

My kids legs are getting longer but the E39 isn't”¦

[Gert_8]

The boot on a 3 series is not big enough if you have two little kids. It requires a step up to the 5's.

[Brianmoooore]

When I had two small kids, I ferried them around in a classic Mini. Plenty of room.

This is just untrue! I've two little kids and its fine

E39 are solid cars, everyone round my ends have flogged their E46 330s and M3s for E39 530s and M5s.

[87mtech27]

That is so true, none of my neighbours keep a car in their garage not one of them.

That's just a waste as your neighbourhood has good size garages Jim.

They built 400 decent sized houses in my town on a former RAF base recently, which was a nice surprise as they normally build tiny flats usually

Now, what sort of income would you need to buy that?......in High Wycombe!

[87mtech27]

It's expensive round here them rich folks from London are inflating our housing market

Ain't getting no house here for less than 300k... snoop through the site

Diable's should invest here as his polish brethren pay an average of £1200 pm rent here for a 3 bed house

Yes, but £1200 pm between 12 isn't too bad....

[87mtech27]

Lol I know

Waiting for interest rates to rise as this bubble isn't sustainable imo

Asking for Diable.

You're going to make money on £565!

Gert, £120K get you something like this in shirebrook

http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/detail ... J5zrhDB.97

same thing in lincolnshire would cost you double

there was a 3 be semi with 3/4 acre, barn, workshop car port etc for sale a few months ago for £75K & folk said that was expensive

That would be a £500-650k house over here

pardon??

[ross_jsy]

I've just bought another property as an investment and to help the missus onto the property ladder. Bought it off plan, completion in 3 years tops. Will decide what to do with it from there. This is what £275k got me:

[bss325i]

A pokey 1 bed flat. Yikes!

[DanThe]

Look at all those doors getting tangled up!

[ross_jsy]

The Jersey property market is madness. Almost as bad as London.

Saying that, one of the funds the company I work for administers is for property in Grosvenor Square. How does £6,500 per square foot grab you

Diable's property empire is under threat.

I thought the fe cker had hacked Rossy's account!

Thought that myself. Getting an e92 M3, two houses?


Very Diable-esque!

He told you not to mention the M3 - you're screwed now!! And you forgot the other similarity - he like boys too!

[ross_jsy]

Alas I have to come clean, Diable has been paying me fat stacks from his millions to use my account

[Gert_8]

Alas I have to come clean, Diable has been paying me fat stacks from his millions to use my account

Is that a euphemism?

[bab-91]

Makes a change from Daddies fat stacks.


Meowwwww!
