Yes, cost of repairs for E60 not a cheap. But i'm buying only second hand cars for my self, 2-3 years old. For example: i bought my 530d E60 '04 when she was 3 years old with 93k mls for 35k Euro at the time when the new car with the same specs cost 87k euro (Ireland, probably one country in Europe who have 30% Vehicle Registration Tax Duty). My previous car 530d E39, i bought her when she was 3 years old with 90k mls for 21k euro, the cost of the new car was - 75k Euro. I sold her in 2 years for 19k Euro. Why to buy a new car and lose half a price of the new car in 3 years, if i spending on repairs per year about 2k euro? The 3 years old BMW driving, i would say, as 9 out of 10. I keep a car usually 2 years, but i know people who keep BMW for 5 years and more - and NO PROBLEM!

P.S. Everything breakes... Everything needs just good servicing and love from the owner.
