I love my E70, but it’s days are numbered. For a 2007 4.8i, it’s been great mechanically... mainly because I’m a little OCD with routine and preventive maintenance. However, 15mpg is getting old, I really don’t need this heavy of a rig for it being essentially a commuter car, and I feel I may be losing my opportunity to sell it for anything north of $8k as the miles tick up (112k and counting).

I’ve always loved the F31 wagons. I think it’s BMW’s best looking estate car to-date. And while they are very hard to find (in a wagon), the diesel is intriguing because of the fuel efficiency and low-end grunt for driving around town. I’m seeing the few that are available be in the $20-25k range.

Has anyone here owned or driven a 328d? Would love to hear your thoughts. I’m still a ways off (6-12 months) from pulling the trigger, if at all.
