Got an e60 atm which is much bigger and also a beautiful motor. Even managed to talk my parents into an e61 because they where looking at discos Yes I'm looking at the F11 5 series, for my price range it will be about 7-8 year old. I could get a lesser brand for a good 5 years newer but I fancy something German. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but still don't tell me what car it is? Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This e60 is the 525 but mapped so pushing 260bhp and does over 30 mpg around town and over 50 on a run Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen a lovely 12 plate E-Class estate today though, only problem is it's f***ing manual. Looking on the web the Merc owners say auto is the only way for these cars. It's a shame cos it's only 7.5K and been proper looked after. Edited July 1, 2020 by Greb147 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Auto is imo the way forward, especially with German cars as they are much better at changing gear then you will ever be 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
