  • I managed to finally get my hands on a new M4 Competition! Video going live next week! Make sure you’re subscribed! :_ONIT:
  • The first owner of that car was most likely the dealership. The spec seems most likely to have been a demo for one of the salesmen. In those days the franchise used to have to hit certain demo stock parameters such as 6 and 8 cylinder cars, manual and auto, estate, all specs, even stuff such as a demo on Fleet with heads up display or a certain spec of seat upgrade.

    Great cars these Cal 👌 I've always liked the E60/E61 since they came out in 2003 and I've had 3 since, including a 530d "SE " 4 door 6 Speed Manual with a list price of just under £40K New . It had lots of options like Xenon adoptive headlight, full heated black leather interior with rear seat load through function (very rare on saloons) , full Auto Climate, Pro Logic7 surround sound with Pro Nav, 18" wheels and Sports suspension, etc.. Surprising the original owner of this 530i M Sport didn't speck Xenons 🤔 yet ticked the box for head up display ?!?! Regardless... it's still a nice rare thing and those GETRAG 6 Speed Manual boxes are some of the toughest in the business. 💪
  • Absolute pleasure this Calv, probably the only car I regret selling was e60 523i manual.. Loved every bit of it.
  • @santana9537
    My dad had this on an 04 plate, also manual. With a mafia spec: black, SE trim with bigger alloys, cream leather and wood trim. Owned it from 2004-2016 never skipped a beat. Then he bought a brand new s6 and it broke down straight away and was sold with 6 months 😂 ended up getting a f10 535d
  • I was driving an e61 535D for a couple months as a courtesy car and ever since, I've been searching for another one, or even a 530i. I loved the interior on it and the performance from a diesel was brilliant. power all the through the gears and still plenty when the car was filled to the brim in the boot and with 4 passengers. the rear air suspension was a cool little feature too, great cars!
  • @retrostu1
    Love that car Calv, my dad just had the 525i back in the day, but loved that car.
  • I do love these driven one before and it was a manual version . Was comfortable and very quick car
  • @djsyxx
    Its not a facelift (lci). Shame the owner who bought this new didn't spec xenon headlights. It's not a bad looking car but the E39 still pips it for looks and feel.
  • @LCOF
    I’d argue the interior of the E39 was peak BMW. It’s understated chefs kiss.
  • @TheGhost5800
    Last year was searching e60 530i and it's rare to find one with manual and extras like xenon, comfort seats fully electric, heating seats and etc. That's why I gave up and get 530i with auto gearbox because there is more choice.
  • Great to see you comparing my old veccy vxr to the 530 beemer... apples and pears but i love it :)
  • @alpinab14
    would love to see a vid on the f10 535d you have please and if you do a vid on that car would be intresting to hear if you would go for the 535i vs 535d f10 ? thanks
  • My facelift E60 530i had 270bhp. Same engine as in facelift Z4 and e92 330i. It has a black valve cover. The Z4 2.5si , e92 325, e60 523i (2.5) and 530i with silver valve are the same engines just with slightly different power output. Great by the way very rare indeed.
  • Great cars, the diesels and petrols. This one just needs a set of 19 inch spyders and it's complete
  • @The_journeyy
    Super rare I see this getting modified it would look amazing 😍
