Should I swap my BMW 535d Touring for 530d Touring?
I'm thinking of swapping my 2011 535d BMW Touring M Sport, that has done 111,000 (on 19-inch wheels), for a 2011 530d BMW Touring SE that's done 98,000 (on 18-inch wheels). They have almost identical spec (pano roof on both, same colour light leather). I've been offered £500 plus the 530d car for my 535d from a dealer. I'm changing as I do 24,000 miles a year and need better economy (but still want 6 cylinders). Does this seem a reasonable deal and will economy be better (it's the newer engine in the 530d) or am I mad?

Makes sense, particularly to rid yourself of the purgatory of the hard-riding and expensive to replace 19-inch tyres.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
