How can I pass a variable as an argument to the buffer command in Vim?

I want to do something like:

let b = bufnr('%')
" do something that adds (potentially loads of) new buffers
buffer b

But I get the error 

"No matching buffer for b"

How can "expand" the variable b, or work around this in some other way?
