Okay, it may not be in the same league as what we are used to but it's started. Thats my point.
Also, looking at a few of these now wit the view to replacing the '39 530 sport and it's amazing how many are already tatty jank with moody histories that have been "got at"! Brings back all the momories of when I bought my 3 year old 523 about 7 years ago.

Anybody who replaces a decent E39 with an E60 wants their head feeling. They're horrid things with an interior that's a cross between a 1989 Carlton and a branch of Currys.B7 wrote:Okay, it may not be in the same league as what we are used to but it's started. Thats my point.

Theres one E60 near me, I think 530d. Cheap 18" replica m5 wheels with Chinese ditch finders. Looks like under sized tyres as well.

Trev, when i worked at B&W 18 months ago, a 530d SE cam in with a cracked exhaust manifold.
It has an irish plate, tints, halfords stick on chrome beading around the rear lights, several M badges, M5 replica wheels and a powerflow quad tailpipe system with the offside 2 pipes being dummies!

I know what you are saying but I'm bored with the e39. It's the second I've had and to be honest? They are getting a bit long in the tooth now. The shape of the e60 has grown on me especially the MSport and I have an old BM in the shape of an e30. I don't want an "old" BM as a daily really.Andyboy wrote:Anybody who replaces a decent E39 with an E60 wants their head feeling.

Never liked the interior of the E60. Looks wrong. I know someone that has a poverty spec 520i. Nasty interior!

Apart from the black roof (vinyl wrap?) and crap number plate I don't see much else different. Lights appear the same, no body kit and they look like OE alloys?

The Comms package on the E60 with the radar parking indication is sweeeet!

Unfortunately, BMWs always will appeal to the tossers of this world. I like BMW quality and driving dynamics, but I'm not a fan of the 'bimmer' image at all.
