[QUOTE="creed, post: 602755, member: 13814"] haha, in the market for a Peugeot 508 initially; but after tested friend's 320d, it kinds of sway myself towards the UDM; poor man wanting to try Beemer but rationality kicks in whether the 7-8 years car is a good bet :p Test drove the 530d last weekend; the engine noise from outside is not as bad as I thought; and I kind of feel its quieter than 320d especially the "tak tak tak" noise. Inside the cabin practically sealed off all the noises; noticed some wind noises 160km and above but I bet that's normal. Read a lot in the forum recently and few things that creeps up for a 530d. 1. Swirl flaps 2. Active Steering 3. iDrive I too spoke to service advisor at the center; they told me the 530d or generally E60 had proven the reliability in term of mechanical; but the early batches bugged by electronic items which can be a frustration to upkeep :p, decision decision....
