Thinking about a 5 Series......chime in!!!
I've been thinking about buying a CPO 5er
I'm looking @ either a 545i or a 530. What are your guys thoughts/experiences with the 5 series? Its gotta be either white or silver with sport package (of course) And I gotta have the 100K warranty on it too! thoughts? comments????

go for it. 5 series is awesome. we have a 528 at home, seems to handle better than my old 335 lol
IMHO V6 isnt enough power for it. but everything else in the car is just great. all the gadgets. u gonna love the sport seats. |

Try to find a CPO'd 535i instead; looks better, and you can tune it.

good point, i did contradict myself when I said it had to be CPO b/c brakes are covered right?
What about maintenance? How much does that go for? Is there a maintenance schedule I can get from the Dlr?? Thanks everyone for the comments

I admit I been thinking of trading in for a e60 lately too. I'd love to get into the 535i !!
Only thing keepin me from doing it is that the new 5 series will be out in 2 years time. But maybe if I do it next year I can get a good deal on an outgoing body? |
