E60 (facelift) 530d M Sport

[BD_O]

Thinking about changing my 335i for the above. Anything I need to know, problems, things to look out for, etc?

How is the ride on the sports suspension? I am sure the non-sportspack would ride so much better, but it looks so plain in comparison...

Are these viable cars to own out of MP?

Thanks.

Ride on a E60 #MSport is hard but awesome & the car sits low. My dad had a 525i & it handled really well but for him for everyday driving was a bit harsh. I would not have minded it at all.

The E60 comes with a spare as OEM. The rft has no reason to stay on this car which is rubbish and messes up the ride quality.

The difference between your current ride and E60 is chalk and cheese in terms of comfort and quality. It is targetted for a different market as opposed to the 3er. You are dead right. The non sport pack looks very blend in comparison.

Drive a sport pack and decide. Naturally a non sport pack would be softer.

Good luck with your choice :thumb:

Thanks. I see that the iDrive controller got an upgrade at some stage, but not with a facelift (seems to have been around 2009). What are the differences?

Also, any idea about the reliability record of the car?

Yep, for this reason definitely agree with running normal tyres rather - these are really superb cars! Cannot go wrong! :thumbs:
