Hi all,

I was just thinking howlong can you or tend to keep your E60? i mean don't you have enough of it after a while? the max time i kept a car was 2 years and it was a honda civic 2003 model.

I recently bought my first E60 it's a 530i full options with PDC, SATNAC, XENONS, LEATHER, PHONE, and many more.i'm thinking of keeping it for a bit and thinking of travel round EU in it, what do you guys think? will it get me there and back? also this car drive like new and still smell new inside when you sit in it.

also is it worth spend money on this car or not??

Thanks for your replies.

You have had it 6 years and only 43k on it??? We need to hear from people that actually do at least the normal average of 12k per year... Me, I do 15-20k per year. I have only had it a year so I am curious as well.

I got mine in 2007 as a CPO, with 16k miles on it. It's paid for now, so I plan to keep it until just before I hit 100k miles, then it's time to find a nice CPO F10 (I am at 74k miles now)

Mine's an '08 and I only have 31700 miles on it. I intend to keep it until I can find an M6 or X6M at a good price............

I have a 08 550i sport , bought it new in late 2008 . Currently have just over 65K miles . I have not spent a dime on the car outside of Tires , Bought extended warrenty to 100K so I will at least keep it till then. Drove a previous 528i to 235K , 01 745 to 197K ...take care of them and they will last . Out side of my sunny weather car a 911 carrera, the BMW is a true drivers car .
