I've been lurking on this forum for a while learning about the E60 and I'm ready to take the plunge. I've found a well priced ($35K) example with 34K miles on it with Logic 7, NAV, AS, Sport Package, and Winter Package, but I'm a little concerned that the large amount of warranty work done indicates a potentially problematic car. Your thoughts on the following would be appreciated.
Regards to all,
Davey V

Its not CPO. Its being sold by a non-BMW dealer who bought it from BMWFS off-lease. Its got 9 months left of factory warranty coverage.

Don't do it Davey. Not to mention that the NY dealers won't be so kind, once that warranty runs out. Stay away. That car has a longer rap sheet than John Gotti!

I agree Davey don't do it. Just keep looking and I'm sure something else you might like will come along
