Hi Guys,
I am in need of your expert comments/suggestions please. I know there are plenty of BmW experts here, I would appreciate if someone could assist.
I want to trade in my E90 (07 318i, NCT Jan 17) and have a cash of 15K to spend. I am primarily looking for a 520D - 2011 model, preferably from a main dealer - is it doable? I am looking for a spacious boot;
Or am I being realistic with that budget?? Any suggestions please.
Thanks in advance
What do you think you will get trade in? Or what are you hoping to get?
7-8k offered; I m hoping to get 8kQuote:

How about going for the flagship of the brand
A 2008 730d sport price range 14-18k tax €750 a year

Don't think you will get that tbh. Plus the fact that 2011 520d's are still holding very good value in main dealers I think you need to up your budget or downgrade your requirement.Quote:

I am selling my f10 msport. If you sell your own car I will do you a very good deal.
You might just about get into one from a non-franchise dealer, but be prepared to compromise on spec & be at the higher end of the mileage spectrum . Here are 2 of the cheapest on carzone:

http://www.driving.ie/used-cars/BMW/5-Series/520D-SE**HI/107314171022614260/
Both are manual & I would consider auto a must on an F10/F11

Here is mine if your interested. The price is very negotiable for a fellow forum member. (and mines auto) [emoji1]
Thanks Gar; never thought about 7 series!Quote:

How about stretching up to a F01Quote:

Seen that earlier does look great and the interior is a vast improvement, the e66 is a nice one though would be happy with either the 7 is a car that always seems forgotten on the forums does not get the appreciation it deservesQuote:
