Just want to appreciate the E60 530d for a moment. 235hp stock, easily tunable to 300hp+, comfortable, fast, and relatively cheap to buy now.

Mine has 280k km and still runs like a clock. Changed the timing chain at 200k km and its been perfect since.

If you want a fast, comfortable, cheap diesel BMW, the E60 530d is hard to beat. Change my mind.

    280k km on an M57 is nothing. these engines can do 500k+ with proper maintenance. absolute tanks
