Bought an 07 530xi yesterday with <40k miles. CPO and 2 additional years of maintenance from BMW financial. Found the original owner before I bought and spoke to her. She literally said she is the little old lady people make fun of. Car if perfect in every way and has only had the battery replaced outside of regular maintenance so no previous mechanical issues at all.

Been doing a lot of research but would like to hear if there is anything in particular with this model I should be aware of. Been an Audi guy for 10 years and do take care of my cars mechanically.

One thing that does blow my mind is the 15k oil change with BMW, really?

I change my oil at 7500 miles. The timespan between needed services has expanded since BMW offers free maintenance

Figured that might have had some bearing on it. Thanks
