Am relocating to the NE in a couple months (just in time for winter). Looking at a 530xiT 6 speed manual with all options, sport/cold/nav/premium/etc. Price is around $25K with about 60K miles.

Anything specific to watch out for? What does the 60K service run and what are the next few services like? Does it require premium fuel?

I'm probably going to be commuting 100 miles or so a day after the move.

I know these will run forever (just sold my E30 vert with 200K on the odo), but want to know what I could be getting myself into.

Thanks in advance!

I live in NE too and want to say you're going to love the car as it's very surefooted in rain or snow.

Would you consider something newer to get a CPO warranty up to 100K miles? Mine is still under the new car warranty and I've had to replace the rear suspension leveling pump and blower resistor, both expensive items.

I do use premium fuel and get ~20 around town and 27-28 on the highway.

Welcome.
