buying a 525 is like buying a small size drink when your dying of thirst! Or you sit down when you pee!!I'm just saying!!

I agree with OPs, if you're looking for an '04 or '05, get a 530i. great motor, easy to work on, and a LOT more power than the 2.5L.

good luck with your search.

OP if you do end up with an '04 or '05, save yourself some potential headaches and relocate these things. i won't bore you with details as there are threads out there linking to the BMW service bulletin.
