This could be a bait-n-switch to get you to the dealer's showroom where they will offer you a "better" option, since that car has just been sold.

Well I guess this is as good a place as any for my first post. You guys are making me feel better about my purchase price. Just bought my first 5 series. 2004 530i 90k Miles, had a BMW master mechanic check it out said it was more like a 50K car and only thing it needed was some regular service. Purchase Price 14K. Anyway look forward to reading through the forums.

Mine is a 2004, but the funny thing is that after about $25,000 in exterior mods it sure as hell doesn't look or sound like a 2004 530 anymore. I had some CL63 owner the other day say "wow, your car looks amazing, that a new one right?" I was like "yep". hahahah
Just to add I bet if I had to trade my car in I'd get no more than 12k or something for it at this point. Its great!

I don't think the price for a two-owner 6+ year old e60 with an accident report and 90K + miles is out of line. I suspect the overall car might be a bit "rough".
BTW, the accident only has to < $500 to hit carfax so that is no indication of extensive damage. And it was rear-end damage - IMHO, that is not nearly as much a negative than if it were a front end-er! BTW, the service records seem to indicate it was serviced as regularly as BMW requires. Might be an inexpensive way for someone to get into an e60. If anyone did, I'd recommend a basic after-market warranty covering engine and drivetrain (maybe essential electronics).

Hell yea man. My car (knock on wood) runs like a champ. Smooth, spotless inside and out, and if you open the hood everything shines. Its literally like brand-new. Just keep your car and maintain it and it will last you for a long, long time. Mileage means nothing.
