Best of luck Davy.

Nice gaffffff

 

Lovely looking car Davy, good luck with it.

 

Nice looking car there Davy. I love me Tourings and E39's, looks in good condition. What are your first impressions of it? How does it drive? The 525d touring I had for awhile was a good drive.

 

I like it Davy, I like it a lot actually

 

Nice buy, make sure you chuck out those swirl flaps.

 

Stickler for automatic this lad looks like a nice wafter though congrats

 

Haha no not a stickler for autos . Just not a single manual estate for sale in ireland . Cheers lads ya im well happy with it and @Andy its really nice to drive in fairness . Very smooth and feels like a small car even though its quite large. Quite a change on the pocket to run aswell :biggrin1:

 

Lovely car Davy. Well wear. Drove a 525d saloon some years back and found the engine a good bit smoother and more tuneful than that in the 530d.

Maybe you'd post back on the MPG when you've had a few good drives if you wouldn't mind? Been thinking of one of these to replace the work Astra.

 

Holy OEM Phone mount Batman!

 

Haha thought the same. I would just rip it out ta fuck.
I'm ok with the steering wheel. Not a lot needed if it's just a wagon for pottering around. Keep the money for the other beast

Best of luck with it. Any pics of the gaff? Must be massive going on the size of your garden!

 

Steering wheel & phone mount has to go! Other than that a bit of a tidy up I'd say & you're on to something.

 

Yer bum!

Has to stay as a reminder of the days when fones were fones! lol
