• BMW 5-Series E39 (1996 - 2003) - E320 cdi v BMW 530d 12 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Which would be the better overall choice to keep for about 5 years? Both renowned high power 6 cyclinder diesels, the BMW better handling and faster? Mercedes is the better cruiser, but not to say the BMW is anything less than excellent. Or would a 2002 330d be better (c class has no competitor to the 330d)
• BMW - Effecient Dynamics 17 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Idly browsing the Autotrader and saw a 57 reg BMW 520d M Sport at £19995. This is a good £10'000 saving on new. (From a non BMW main dealer). Its the older engine with the lower horse power and higher C02. Then did a check of BMW dealer cars and similar cars with the newer engine are £4-5000 more expensive.

• BMW M4 - BMW M4, Cat S 26 Oct 2022 (Forum)
  Hi All, First time poster here; could use some kind advice: Found a BMW M4, 2017 plate, but Cat S. £25,000. The most comparable model I can find (same year, v low mileage, number of owners(1), carbon fibre add ons, full BMW service history) is £36,000. The owner tells me the damage (front left quarter) was repaired with BMW parts and to a high standard.
• BMW e30, 316 - BMW e30, 1984, M10 engine - carburettor dilemma 25 Nov 2015 (Forum)
  Ok here is the dilemma and your advice would be greatly appreciated.    I've an immaculate (no rust) 1984, BMW e30, 316.  The carb has just gone. BMW want to charge £1,700 to fit a new carb as the original Pierburg 2BE.  the alternative is to fit a much improved - though not original part - Weber 32 / 34 manual choke carb. for £700 My question is this, which is the carb that will ensure the long life and heritage of this classic car  - I appreciate there's a trade off here in terms of BMW 'prestige' (£1700 for a carb?!)

• End of Life - BMW to pay for old BMCs? 21 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  When BMW bought the Rover Group they bought all the brands which went into it. When BMW sold to Phoenix they only sold Rover and MG brands. Does this mean that BMW are responsible for end of life recycling costs of all the old brands - Mini, Vanden Plas, Wolseley, Riley, Morris, Austin?
