    e61 530d SE - 10 year ownership summary

    Inspired by other postings I have read on BMWLAND recently and recognising the 10 year milestone of ownership for my e61, I thought I would post a summary which I hope will be of interest to other owners/enthusiasts. I did post a 3 yr report way back, but I think that was lost when the original BMWLAND website was superseded.

    Specification & usage.
    I bought the e61 from a dealer in 2010 for £12,000, with only 47k miles on the clock. MY is 2004. Quite a basic spec, really; 530d SE, Silver grey, Dakota leather interior, manual transmission.

    That night Boris tried to throw a spanner in the works by announcing England's lockdown V3 which meant all non essential retail should close, but after checking with the powers that be we were told that as the car was already in and work had started before the lockdown then the work could be completed

    so the car had the following, full exterior decontamination, wheels off arches deep cleaned and all plastics treated, engine bay deep clean and protection, wheels and callipers deep cleaned and ceramic coated, multi stage paintwork correction, then the car had PPF applied to the front end, bumper, bonnet, lights, wings, wing mirrors, full side skirts and the rear bumper...
