Hey Guys,

I haven't owned a bmw in a few yrs now, and have the urge to buy one again. I just wanted to know if there were any known problems with 06' BMW 525??

I think i found a pretty good deal @ carmax (Black 2006 BMW 525i, 19k Miles, Clean Carfax, 4yrs 50k warranty still left, Looks Immaculate inside & out = $31,000 otd). According to KBB this car should be going for $36-39k...

Sounds reasonable, 525 are a little underpowered to me. You may want to check out 535 or 545 '05. Best record I'm told.

Aside from less power than it could have, I suppose the only problem would be that it isn't FREE! It's a great car, just do your homework and see what else is available (530i, 545i etc.), and enjoy the HELL out of it!

Seams a bit high to me. I suggest you go to your local bmw dealer and drive an assortment of e60's (525/528/530/535/545/550) they have on the used lot...stick with Certified Pre Owned if you can. Avoid the new lot at all costs....It will be hard to get into a used car afterwords.
