The upgrade itch has started a little bit, but the 530d's endearing qualities (looks, reliability, comfortable suspension, deadly engine, deadly gearbox, opulent cabin) are making it tough to justify spending big bucks on an upgrade. So, I'm going to hold that thought for now and focus on investments instead. Other than the fact that she is 11-years old, there is absolutely no reason to sell her off. She is extremely satisfying to drive calmly in the city, extremely fast on the open road and is extremely dependable. Old BMWs that have aged well have a different kind of charm on the road. Plus, I do get my petrolhead fix from driving all the new cars launched in India.

Hey GTO, completely agree with you that these old BMWs age like fine wine. Here is my 328i which will be completing 10 years soon and with only 29000kms on ODO feels like a 3-4 year old car.

Beautiful machine, Maverick07! So well kept. The 328i is a wild car with acceleration that matches the stock 530d. Great mod potential too.

Two Team-BHP Mods from Bangalore own pre-worshipped 328is as well .

29000 KMS!
@Maverick07, that's insanely low amount of kms considering the duration of ownership.
Looks really clean!
