Hi guys. I'm thinking about buying a 2008 635d and I was wondering if you have any buying advice or opinions? I love the 6 series and the power train offers a great mix of drivability and very managable day to day expenses. I've been running an e46 m3 as a daily for the last 2 years, so I'm used to the running costs etc.

I assume the model will share the same pit falls as an e60 535d? Has anyone any alternatives they'd suggest? Just bear in mind I'm not remotely interested in something with a 2.0d engine, but I'd like something nippy that drinks a little less fuel than the M3 and isn't 515 a quarter to tax.

Thank in advance for your help. Nigel
