2014 BMW 535d xDrive

Here's my new-to-me daily. I work 35 miles from home (when I'm not working from home), and the commute is 90% highway... so I wanted something nice that will also get great fuel economy.
I looked at hybrids. I looked at fuel-sipping 4 cylinders. I even considered electric.
But I went diesel. 37+ mpg on the highway, comfy ride, and enough torque to pull my house down!
It only had 55k miles on it, though it's lacking pretty much every option. Still, it's a 5 series, so it has more options that anything else I've driven!
The previous owner was an old doctor. Traded it in for a lightly used RSX. He was a cheap bastard, apparently. He also must've whacked something HARD, because I have a blown shock (that I didn't notice during the test drive), and there was one new tire on the car.
The paint isn't perfect, and it only makes 255hp (same as the 05 Accord Hybrid it's replacing), but the price was right. Overall, it runs well. I get why BMW is so popular!
