Just got an F11 after 2x e39 & e61

paperjams · 05-10-2016, 11:19 AM

I have finally taken the plunge after owning 2 e39's - a touring and saloon and an e61. My F11 is an early 525d with the 3.0d I6 with a manual gearbox - it took me a while to find a 6 pot with manual box... no-one wants them!

My first E39 - 530i sport manual was fully loaded and now a track car

my second E39 - 530i sport manual touring - low mileage

My E61 530d M Sport - auto gearbox this time and did not get on with it

And finally my new F11 - 525d M sport with manual gearbox

If anyone is interested here is a vid on my track car

Wagon and manual transmission, what's not to like

All F11s I've seen so far, look even better in person.

Congrats, enjoy it.

Yet again another bad a$$ F11...and it's MANUAL!

Congrats on your F11.

Nice with the early I6 525d!

Thanks folks, I don't think you can buy a 6 cylinder with a manual gearbox in the U.K. Anymore in the 3 or 5. Sad times... I only buy bmws for the inline 6
