535D
Anyone had any experience with the BMW 535D, i am told this is "the" diesel engine to have but i would prefer an owners opinion rather than a magazines test.
I need a bigger car, the A3 is awesome but the boot can be a tad small for going racing, i quite like the idea of the 5 series touring

I used to work for BMW, so know a little about these.
From what I can remember this is the 3.0L twin turbo diesel and is an absolute work of art. Without a doubt the best diesel engine on the market today in a superb car. However, buy one of these at your peril...you'll struggle to get rid of it later for anywhere near what it's worth. Best value BMW today is the 320D touring sport

535D
Hi Lee
you mean the biturbo 6-in-line 535D? It goes like a rocket, until 120 km/h you are not really slower than a M5 V10 You have to be carefull with the Turbochargers, cause they sometimes have a problem with "switch"-system between the little and the big charger...blocated.  suspension is all Aluminium, so it wears out a little faster, specialy on front. Greetings from switzerland Maurice

Col, Maurice,
Yes thats the one, i have been told its a bit of a rocketship, 0-60 in 6.5 isn't bad for a big car, and 35mpg ~ It wont be for a few months yet but i dont fancy a range rover and i quite like the look of the M sport models  Plus i have put 20k on the audi since june so i need to move that on before the miles effect its value

my dad had the 335D, that was a great car and a rocket ship. You will have no trouble fitting all your stuff in there, they're huge

i'm tempted for a diesel estate car as although it has a MASSIVE boot the S8 isn't as versatile as an estate for racing etc
personally i think the later shaped Audi A6 Avants are stunning looking cars for estates, prob even better looking than the saloon equivalents  i know the BMW engine is regarded as very good but the Audi 3.0Tdi seems to have plenty of grunt plus if you add in the quattro 4wd you're never getting stuck in a muddy field after a wet meeting again go on you know you want to

Get a Disco. Its the best car ive drove in a bit. Tonnes of room for racing gear but only does 25 mpg when you stick the pedal to the metal. What about Q7? Audi are very nice aswell.

Just the ferrari you need
