300k! wow! I wish i can take mine that far, is it also an e60?? 04 530i (m54 engine) I hear is one of the best, or say some people but I have the (n52) 06 engine, more hp but for some reason the engine is not as reliable in the long haul according to some.

I contemplated this same topic a while ago when I was approaching CPO ending. That was in May. I decided to keep her, take good care of her as usual, pamper her a little more now, and as always, keep up on my preventative maintenance. BTW I still drive it hard, as it is intended.
You would likely drop 3-5k on a down payment for another car, so just think of that $$ used for repairs.
I have the N52 and from what I've learned it's pretty solid.
Just get past this early contemplation phase and you'll sleep much easier.

Yea i am a fan of the I6 as well, mpg average is about 23 total and highway is close to 30mpg on a Vegas run, that's why i decided to go with this particular model. I have an auto transmission and I tend to use DS mode more than i should, i wonder if that may be an issue in the long run?

Just checking on your post. I have had some problems with my E60 as well as the other two BMW's. The 07 335i, the fuel pump/injector/reprogramming recall and some problems with 2005 E46. The seat sensor, axle boots, and one electrical gremlin. Even though I have had some problems, I still love the way the BMWs drive and feel. We just have to be prepared to pay $$$$s for repair or parts. I would say hang on to it. We are looking in to a new 2012 5 series and this time, I'm investing a few extra bucks for the extended warranty!!!
