[AlpineG30]

Hey all,

I'm visiting from the E90 forums hoping I could get some insight on the general reliability of an E60 I'm considering. Just for some background here are some of the specs, It's a 2004 530i with a 6 Speed manual. Seems pretty clean from the pictures, appears to have the sport pkg which I'm actually most afraid of because of the "active/dynamic steering" which sounds like it will break and be catastrophic. The car has 137,000 which isn't that high considering my first E90 had 170k and all it needed was the vcg replaced. My main question is; are these early model E60 (2004) notorious for issues (Electrical/Mechanical) that I haven't heard of apart from the basic BMW things like VCG and water pumps, etc?
