i just totaled my 04 impala ss a week ago and i loved that car...
it had plenty of power for me with 240 horsepower
was wondering what anyone would think about getting a 04 530i
with 80000 miles on it...like will i have alot of costly repairs?
i like the style that these cars have and also would like to know how they drive
get another impala ss or a 04 530i?

Um..... I can't tell if this is serious or not..

Depends how the car was maintained. Personally I would not touch an Impala.

I'm going to save you from the flamming thats going to follow this statement by telling you that subs are extremely easy to hook up with the help of a custom harness since everything is located in the trunk.

That being said, subs or not...BMWs are always worth it.

Don't take anyone's word on it - go and test drive a 5 series and see for yourself how they drive.

If you are coming from a Chevy and are worried about costly repairs then I'd stay away from one with high mileage.
