What do you think of the BM 535d M Sport Touring?

I am looking to buy a BMW 535d M Sport Touring and wanted your general comments and thoughts on the car, as well as key areas to check on the car and its history. I am buying it from a BMW main dealer through the 'used approved' scheme. It is a 2006 model with around 40,000 on the clock.

The BMW 535d is an excellent car with great performance and probably makes more sense as a Touring. As you'd expect from a BMW, it's thoroughly engineered and well built. There are a few areas to be aware of. Take a look here for a full list: honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/bmw/5-series-e60-2003/?s...d

You will want to check it has a full BMW service history, but 40,000 miles is exactly average mileage for that age.
