When some offerings are way off the market trend, one will doubt what is in it.

No way a E60 yr 2005 can cost below RM50k, not now when it's still able to get HP financing. Wait for it to past 10 years of age, then the value shall tumble more.

Like teikwing mentioned, the 530i is the better bet tongue.gif Alway buy from direct owner, then you will get genuine mileage and maintenance history. Used car dealer can't wait to temper the mileage reading and destroy the maintenance record in order to sell you with a good margin.

My younger brother used to own a 520i 2.2 inline 6 for 6 years, I understand that after 4-5 years the car gave him some headache. I-drive electronics part been replaced one, air-cond system down (IC, compressor and cooling coil). If not mistaken he spent more than RM10k for the i-drive thingy and air-cond repair.

Engine and gearbox were good, just need discipline on schedule maintenance on them.

If you want better reliability on a BMW, E39 5 series is a better bet, but old lar wink.gif
