Looking to buy an e60 535i

How's everyone doing?

Im looking to buy another e60 535i. I dont see classified section for e60 forums, so figured I'll just make this post. If there's classified section that Im not seeing please just post a link to it.

Im looking for a lower milage 535i. Would like to get one basically fully loaded with Mtech, Winter, and Comfort access packeges.

If you know anyone who's selling, or selling one yourself feel free to contact me.

Thank you

Thank you.

But I'm looking specifically for a 535i, n54 motor. I do see a lot of fully optioned 550i's but am afraid of that v8.

Agreed! Stay away from BMW V8’s, a ton of issues.

Don't blame you. Phenomenal car. Loved mine and so tempted to buy another but don't have room. Soooo much car for the money right now.

The n54 has just as many issues. The n62 is pretty solid.

You are probably right lol. I have a 535i right now, and I had to do decent amount of work to it.
I read a lot of bad things about n62. Do you have one?

Yes. The internals of the N62 are very solid. It's the oil leaks and coolant pipe that make them expensive to keep around. When fixed, they are strong, unlike the N63.

how long have you had your 550i?

Also, what kind of oil leaks have you had in the time you owed the car?

Did you ever had to replace valve seals?

Just the timing gasket. Valve seals are ok.

Here is a cheap one that probably has had every major repair with 274k
