Purchase: 2006 530xi vs 2009 535xi wagon?
I am looking at a couple of wagons:
2006 530xiT w/48k miles, $22,000 2009 535xiT w/58k miles, 6MT (yeah!), $29000 Which would you go with? Both are in great shape. Primarily interested in reliability and a good "family car". I have a 2011 335xi as my personal car. It is either a wagon or a used X5, and man, the wagon is a huge upgrade over the X5 for drivability and also MPG. Not really any downsizes that I can see. |

The 2009 is the LCI version which has the better idrive. Also the 535XI has a twin turbo vs the non turbo 530. Personally, I would buy the 535 Xdrive with the 6MT. I wouldnt even touch the 530xi, even if it were $10k.

While the torque and power are amazing, I'd rather drive my car, not take it in for service. |

My 535 XDrive is very reliable. Are you careing for it properly or just servicing it at dealer prescribed service intervals?
