Reliable car runaround advice
Hey folks.
So I'm living in Budapest the last few years and the need for a motor has become apparent.
So I'm thinking of buying some sort of a diesel touring.
And I'm looking at the e39 530d or 520d.
As I know fook all about these can someone give me a low down on reliability?
Other makes models considered too so feel free to advise.
Reliable car runaround advice
I'm on my fourth E39.
Buy the cleanest one you can find.
All tourings have bags.
In the diesels, the autos have swirl flaps and egr coolers, manuals don't.
They all rust on the same spots, fuel flap and boot lid being the most regular offenders.
If it hasn't been done, budget suspension refurb, injectors, turbo, that's about 4K on its own.
Unless you're doing massive mileage I wouldn't rule out a petrol.
