Former E60 and E90 owner.... current F10 535i owner.

the E60 525 will be horribly underpowered... I wouldn't get anything less than the 528. The N52 is an amazing motor that I still miss, and the E60 even more so. huge difference in the E90 v E60 in terms of just general refinement, but especially ergonomically. I'm a bit of a giant and my E60 fit me like a glove at just under 6'6". E90 was a little crammed, but I still put over 101k miles on it the last 4-5 years.

if I could do it all over again I would have properly maintained my E60 530i (I didn't) and I'd probably still own it today. the F10 is.... good... haha. it's no E60, but the trade off at this stage in life is OK. I love it as a cruiser. it's just that the E60 did everything you asked of it, when you asked of it.

good luck & enjoy whatever you end up finding. btw, that mileage on your E90 is mega, mega impressive! N52 is just a god-tier powertrain for high mileage & fun all in one.
