Now the Civic has gone and Im towing the Silvia, I was right on the tow weight limits of my old 330d Touring, so I needed something a bit bigger to tow the bigger car. Placed a deposit last week, and as soon as the docs come back for my private plate Im chopping the 330 in for this (They offered me what I had in my mind for a private sale for P/X  ) ... BMW 530d M Sport Touring - in a very very rare 6 speed manual  Its the facelift 231bhp model with push button start, and the 5 Tourings also have rear air suspension to help with the towing. Fingers crossed I may get it late this week / early next week As with new dervs, they respond very well to a remap, giveing a balance of economy and performance, and these later, higher power cars go from 231bhp and 500Nm Torque, to 280bhp and 600Nm torque  plus you get the improved economy ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/Cars/BMW/530_1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/Cars/BMW/530_2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/Cars/BMW/530_4.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/Cars/BMW/530_5.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/Cars/BMW/530_6.jpg) (These are pics from the for sale advert - Ill get some better ones and start another topic when I pick it up )

should of just got the m5 estate bud..... The one you had - what was that showing mpg wise...12?  Not sure I could live with that - I test drove this, reset the trip, and even with a few blats, it was still showing very similar to the 3 series - high 40's Also, cheap M5s are still around the £25k mark - and £40k for the Tourings (they wherent made until 07> )  ...anyway - my face would hurt from all the grinning everytime the throttle got pressed
