The look of satisfaction on your face at 7:25 as you depress the starter button and look right into the camera makes me want to buy this car lol. Good review mate. I've just bought one of these. I would have preferred to see a more thoroughly sustained burnout for the intro at 0:02 though.😁
Thank you for this Video! Collecting my black E61 520d LCI 2008 / 188k miles in few days. Can’t wait. :) Best of luck with continuous and happy ownership and plenty more miles to come!
I've had EGR go, rocker cover leak, passenger occupancy sensor fail. Fan went. Obv few sensor changes and breaks needed doing. Handbrakes in them are terrible. It's a 2011 and had it nearly 2 years. Edit: and apprt from that it's been a really nice runner
Just buy one, the only thing is the timing chain might come loose and need an engine rebuild budget a grand to fix. Or find a pre 2007/08 car with more reliable engine.
@@MacklandsMotors wish I had the updated version of the CDTI means cheaper road tax... So might have to swop for the cheaper tax as mine is £331 a year I beleive.
A clear owner's view of a car on my shortlist; you deserve more views. 👍 The channel name could be a dealership which might not be helping. 😱 Maybe motoring instead of motors? 🤔
i was on the fence about getting the same car, after this review i made them an offer. thanks. i cant see any difference between this and the Aussie one.
@@MacklandsMotors I just bought an e91 with the beige upholstery and it’s my least favourite of all the colours available. Light grey or saddle brown or black… I think I would even have preferred red.
@@MacklandsMotors it was what I wanted in every other way. Here in Canada AWD BMW touring models with manual transmissions are very rare. This one was in good shape and I can live with the torrent of beige even if it reminds me of a care home hallway.
I have a later, face-lifted E91 320D, M Sport, automatic, sunroof with the same upholstery. Mine is a 2017 car which I have had for just over 2 years now. I did like and agreed with your review, really summed this model up well. I don’t know if you still have it 2 years on - this is my eighth BMW and I think I am going to keep this one - it ticks so many boxes .
i got same model but in M Sport, i changed my indicator lights to LED but brough silver instead of blacked out for that OEM look, defo worth the upgrade
Just bought e91 320d 177hp 2007.12 model today. Really liked how it drives and definitely smoother than older m47 163hp engine. Kinda scared about horror stories of chain failures with no signs and noises. Wondering how is that sounds and how to check if chain needs to be replaced?
