Thanks Andrew,
I was being lazy, but on looking for 20 minutes, all I could find was the regular air filter here http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=DL82&mospid=47 545&btnr=13_0799&hg=13&fg=20 |

mybe there is a reason for this.if i owned a bmw dealership i would be more than happy with people getting thir failed turbos replaced.can you imagain how many diesel bmw have got turbo replacment poss engine 320d for example.i think thats why the second hand values are so low for prop the best engines in the world that they could have been.

I get to around 28-30mpg with the 528 over a longer period. Never seen more than 35-36mpg on the motorway at cruising. Considering the size of the car and the autobox I don't think this is that bad. All as long as you don't put your foot down. In town only, I have had 20-22mpg How does the 540 compare to this? |

E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg.....

On my 545 (same engine as the E39 540) I get between 32 and 36mpg on M'way cruises and between 26 and 28mpg around town. Advancement in engine electronic fripery fitted to the E60 4398cc lump gives a huge improvement in mpg condsidering the size of the engine. Towing, I'm looking at 21-22mpg |

Indeed, things have moved on. My E34 540i Touring (M60 4.0) gives 27 on a run, 25 average over 20k miles of weekend trips and not much else, and I try not to think about it in town!...
On the subject of towing, my old disco used to do 25-28mpg no matter what. One week I used a tank of diesel running around town - 28mpg - and then towed a car trailer down to Cambridge from Edinburgh - 28mpg - and hauled an MGF back up - 28mpg! I guess the bungalow aerodynamics and mass make minor excrescences insignificant! Edited by jetsetwilly2000 |

Andrew that is some improvement with the same engine!
I got average of 26 mpg on my auto E39 540 over 18k miles before I swapped for the oil burner. |

That's what technology does for you. It also means more to go wrong, more difficult to tell whats wrong, more expensive to fix, blah blah blah. But it's worth it purely for the V8! |

What about a V8 diesel? That might be an acceptable way to go over to an oil burner, hmmmm. |

I'm starting to dismiss the oil burner idea following this thread. I'd save money on fuel alright but with the extra 30% in motor tax and the extra in servicing it would negate any fuel benefit.
Also the change in sound may hurt my ears. |

30% more tax for a diesel!! I'm not sure the servicing is that much more expensive though... |

A friend has a rangey TDV8, does sound rather decent. And I remember long ago being in an oldsmobile 5.7l diesel from the fuel crisis days, which made all sorts of interesting noises, but then those engines were desperately fragile so maybe it was just knackered! |

The taxover here on pre-2008 cars is engine CC based! €935 for a 523i (2494cc) and €1,293 for a 530d (2998cc)
see here According to previous posts, diesels can cost more to service due to the heavier parts |

Ah, but then a 530i would also result in a big increase in tax then. As for servicing, i'd ring a few places and get some prices. I've seen a few manual 530ds around but I'm not sure I could buy a BMW and not have the lovely straight 6 sound that you get with a petrol engined car. |

Exactly, that's the whole point of a BMW, a lovely straight 6. Nice and smooth, quiet and powerful. Not lumpy, smelly and rattley! |
