Potential Owner - E60/E61
 

Morning Folks.

Looking at getting a E60 or E61, admired them for many years, have a few in mind and just wondering what some folks would go for, I realise that the general consensus is LCI rather than Pre-LCI but not much in my budget or swap budget comes up, they still hold their money too.

1: 2005 E61 525D Auto, 147Km, Sporadic History but recent Service including Gearbox, Issues (Rear bags have been replaced with Springs) and the whole system has been removed, comes with the car but broken apparently. Not seen it in person but viewing Saturday.

2: 2007 530D MSport, 261Km, New turbo, Suspension Arms, Brakes, and Recent Gearbox service too, alloys could do with a refurb and a few marks on the body, Seems also to be Pre-LCI

Apart from that and having to travel quite a bit of distance, there isn't much around. Driving around in a little 2010 1.8 Mitsubishi Lancer, so that would be going for a swap for either of the above

Any thoughts?

Welcome to the forum! If you're new to BMWs and the E60/61 in particular, a worthwhile read is the post at the top of this forum.

It hasn't been updated in a while but still offers some considerations you should be mindful of, the biggest being that these cars may be reasonably priced but are expensive to maintain unless you are handy with a wrench. Good luck!
