I am thinking the time has come to offload my Golf.

I have always wanted a R36 Passat as the next hot rod but since they don't make them anymore and I just can't find a good example of a used R36

I have narrowed my search to either of these:

BMW 530

or Passat CC Oiler

Can anybody give any thoughts on mainly the BMW, especially age and it being at almost 50,000km. E.g Servicing or problems with the E60 to look out for?

I am not too stressed about the VW, I have had very small issues with my Golf and they have always been resolved and since I am looking at a demo, it will have new car warranty.

Cheers

530 is a lot of car for the money, if you can stretch to a 2007 model go for it as they had a decent update then. You also want the M-sport pack makes them look a lot better.

I went with the Passat Wagon with full nana spec comfort

Don't know much about BMWs, but I sold my R32 & got a Passat. Couldn't find any R36s so ended up going for the V6 Awd one. Same engine as the R32. Great car to drive. Bit heavier than the R32 though. I think for the price the R36 is a great option. What about buying from over East? That's where I got from.

I was told when looking at the 5's that the way the front bumper is attached it is a right bitch of a job to repair. So if you go for the 5, ensure no crash history or dodgy fixups!
