md750i

Good afternoon Gentlemen , wanted everyone’s opinion and insight on my new idea , I currently ride a 06 750i 90k on the dash and have found a dealer who will pay off my car for what I owe in turn I would purchase a 2010 535xi with 65k on it hey tells me that it comes with a 2 year or 24k mile warranty total price 27k out the door .. now my apprehention comes in as I have never purchased a car with more than 40k on it .. I love the e60 look and hear they are pretty solid with that said anyone please feel free to post your 2 cents I appreciate all comments

Not a bad deal, the biggest worry with the 535 are the High pressure fuel pump issues. However, those are covered by BMW directly for 100k miles as I recall. Other than that I don't know of any major quirks on the 535 that would make it very unreliable compared to your current 750.

What packages does the car have? Since you had a 750i before you may want a fully loaded 535i

No sports package, has the cold waether package , no logic 7 , with silver with black interior navi and the rest of the basic stuff , I love to keep all my cars in the best running condition any ideas on what to look for and or replace .. plugs seals ect..? I want to keep this one for a while

That mileage w/o sports pkg, no logic 7, might not be worth the $27k, I'd get them down to at LEAST $27k out the door price. Near me there is a 2010 535 with 53k, with Premium, NAV, M-sport, PDC, logic 7 and SAT for $30k - that car is LOADED and that can probably be negotiated lower.

Exactly what he said. I would not pay that much without Sport Package and Logic 7. You need to have your VIN read or have the dealer tell you all the packages. You dont want to buy a BMW and try to upgrade to these options later on. Its better to get the car with it in the beginning. Those two options you may want to consider or he need to drop the pice more.

That is what I felt also ,. in addition I truely want less miles on the car and in a perfect world I would want the exterior color to be white the e60 is so0000 sexy in white with M wheels ,with that said my search continues for the perfect e60 I think il lpass on this one i opened the thread on but Thanksyou both for the for the insight it was truely appricated

No problem, there are many, many good E60 535's out there for sale, and since Alpine White is a popular color you should have no problem finding one that suits you. Good luck

Don't forget the Alpine White color cost like an extra $2000 just for that color.

Hello, I would only own a 535 under warranty. Those motors are turbo, and can have additional maintenance issues than the 525/528/530s, such as problems with the turbos needing replaced/rebuilt as well as carbon building up within the engine and requiring walnut shell blasting. Also you have problems with the fuel pumps as mentioned above. 535s are amazing to drive, and own new or CPO, but IMO seem expensive to consider owning out of warranty.

Anyway, please post some pics of whatever new BMW you decide on. Good luck and/or happy hunting.
