Hey everyone,
The question I pose today is to keep or not to keep...my E60 after CPO warranty expires. I'm at 75k miles and will be around
83k ish when CPO expires?
My question is what perils lurk around the corner when nearing 100k miles? Expensive fixes, or 'cheaper to keep her'?
This thing is pampered and in great condition....all work (if any) done at dealer.
Thanks for the input.
sidenote: I love E60 and despise F10 so 'upgrading' not an option!

So I have a local indy BMW shop I used to go to when I had my old 325 and asked him what's needed around 100k and he said:
-spark plugs replaced
-fuel filter
-transmission fluid change/ new filter
grand total......1k
This sound about right????

Bottom line, if you love the car, and it's in as good condition as you claim, you'd be a fool to give it up. If it starts looking like major things are starting to go, or you see features you wish you had, then you can go for a new one. Good luck with your decision!

1k for those 3 is insane!!!!!!!! I did all those on my E46 M3 for about $250 on parts with best quality. I did the work myself and a easy job.
