• What to do? Need a new family wagon asap, we've ditched the idea of a Transporter for potentially a Touran. That's making us think of an S-Max as well though. My heart maybe wants a BMW touring thing but the numbers confuse me.

    We've had all 3 previously but have always bought at around the 2 grand mark and we've (not me) wrecked them one way or another. We're really pushing the boat out now though and can stretch to around five and a half. Any thoughts or offers gratefully received.

  • 5.5k should get you an E61 LCI (facelift of previous gen) 5-series touring. 530i is the sweet spot for power/economy but even the lower power models will shift, just don’t expect low-down torque. Manual is rarer than auto but leather and lots of toys are common.
