have any of you guys got it? whats the best for fuel economy and getting performance is the 530 good?

 

my budget is about 1600 then.

Ive got a G plate 535i SE. Great car, plenty of power (Would like more but I always do no matter what im driving).

 

I get about 25 - 28 MPG But I have a heavy right foot :x:

 

I wouldnt go for less than the 530 I think it would be slightly under powered for the size of the car otherwise mate.

 

If you want to know anything in perticular give me a shout.

i would like around no less than 30mpg isnt the 535 a v8? sounds juicy how many miles does it do with 10 pounds?

its a straight six mate. A tenna does about 65 miles.

It makes me laugh when people talk about buying a big engined car then ask how many miles they can get from 2 gallons of fuel :headvswal :headvswal surely you should look at a Fiesta if thats the main priority :x:

go for a 535i sport it has m-tec trim a few bits on the body to make it look sporty and a sports gearbox a very good car dont touch a 3.0l i see no point here a sport http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1991-BMW-535I-SPORT-MANUAL-SILVER-NO-RESERVE_W0QQitemZ300004320892QQihZ020QQcategoryZ9837QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

How about a 730 diesel?

 

Big and pimping plus good (ish) MPG.

 

£1600 would probably only get you a shitter though.

well i've just bought a mercedes c class 1.8 and i'm getting around 35mpg not bad for a auto i thought got it cheap too

 

but you could always buy my 3 series 325 diesel sport looking at around 2 grand and 45-50 mpg

Indian, I'd consider this 325d.

 

It's a nice car and probably well looked after.

lets just say i've not skimped on the maintenance of this car as i used it daily anything that needed doing was done with genuine parts also just serviced it long mot and a bit of tax but also being the sport model it's around 140 bhp bargain

Whatever you get Bhav. Dont overtake any cars whilst they are turnng right..... :bow: :tongue:

This is what I had before the zed. Had her for about 4 years and did 50k in it.

 

Solid, reliable, quick handled well for its size and turned heads in black.

 

However I get better fuel economy from the zed !

I'm thinking about getting an old 320i estate. It'll be a daily driver and surfboard carrier in the week and a learn to drift bitch at the weekend! The whore!
