Looking for 520D; doable in my budget??

What do you think you will get trade in? Or what are you hoping to get?

7-8k offered; I m hoping to get 8k

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.

I seen an 06 318i with less than 70k in the other day, full leather and in very good nick for under 4k.

Thanks kceire; I see your point I might look at increasing my budget!!

I am selling my f10 msport. If you sell your own car I will do you a very good deal.

Thanks Ian. Your car is in immaculate condition, loved it!
Let me see if I could sell mine.

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:

Both are manual & I would consider auto a must on an F10/F11

Thanks Brian. I have been a manual person but you made a very good point there - i am considering an auto now. Cheers

Se f01's just come into max budget is well but getting a fully loaded e66 for under 20k would be a much easier battle

How about stretching up to a F01

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 deserves

Agree 100%, the f10 gets a disproportionate amount of attention, especially as most are nowhere near as nice looking as Eddie's at the same price.
