Bought a late 56 reg E53 3.0D Sport in May after nearly 20 years driving modified VW's, mostly highly tuned supercharged Polos.
This is my first BMW and only my second 'grown up' car the first being an 05 Passat estate, and I have to say I'm completely smitten, the engineering and build quality is excellent.
I'm amazed how much of a drivers car it is despite weighing over two tonnes.
Not got any real plans to modify it, but already made a couple of OEM additions in the form of boot liner and rubber mates, oh and a set of Style 57's with winter tyres.
