A 100,000 km driven E60 is just up for everything!

New underneath, the whole front ends moving parts and new tires
plus filters (AC) and oil, shocks, dics, pads, wipers etc

All this made at the dealers!

After that it's good for another 100 k miles.

If the car feels sluggish when you press the accelerator, try the 25 second trick.

A car with more of +50K miles / +80K km specially second hand and non-CPO
I would spend extra money to change/replace everything:

- Spark Plugs
- Coolant System
- Oil
- Braked fluid
- Steering fluid
- Air filter (get an AFE!)

Good to hear you bought the car. At 60,000 miles, a BMW is barely broken in. Do your maintenance, but don't replace anything unless it's broken. Save your money for when you really need it.

:welcome: aboard!!
