It doesn't help that with our poor diesel fuel quality here, diesels always "smoke" a bit from their exhausts, which doesn't look good when pulling away from posh hotel porches....lolDue to their slightly "agricultural" image, they often fetch lower prices on the used market. Only those in the know of the benefits of diesel will snap these cars up.The 530d has an awesome engine for a diesel. Lots of low down torque and brilliantly refined for something running on the same stuff as our local buses. But these engines are extremely sensitive to proper maintenance - I think even more so than their petrol counterparts. If this car you're looking at has full main-dealer service history, then I'd say go for it! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Though don't expect the same residuals as the 530i/525i when it comes to re-selling...</blockquote>
