BMW 535d Individual M Sport, LCI

Sold. Facelift LCI, with a modest 90k miles

The BMW 535d -  the first ever diesel car to be welcomed onto the Top Gear test track. The fifth-generation of BMW’s 5-Series was produced from 2003 to 2010 and the touring is ageing well. The 535d has something of a reputation - with its twin-turbo version of the 3.0-litre straight-six engine, allied to a 6-speed auto gearbox, there is 282bhp and 428lb ft of torque to enjoy. Impressive figures even by today’s standards.

The E60 generation introduced various electronic features to the 5-Series, including iDrive, head-up display, active cruise control, active steering and voice control. The E60 also was the first 5-Series available with a turbocharged, a 6-speed automatic transmission and regenerative braking. New safety features for the E60 included adaptive headlights, active headrests, Lane Departure Warning, and high intensity emergency brake lights.

In 2007, there came a model face-lift and the introduction BMW’s fuel-saving Efficient Dynamics programme (that means regenerative braking, a gearshift indicator and active aerodynamics – meaning flaps over the air intakes don’t open when the engine is cold).

With a complete BMW dealership service history from new, low ownership and a unique Individual spec, this highly capable ground-breaking estate, is a rare find.
