E61 535i Xdrive - things to look out for?
Looking for an E61 sports wagon and I'm in love with this 535i. I'm very familiar with the N54 (turbos, injectors, water pump, oil filter housing gasket, ignition coils), but what else do I look out for?
I know the E61 suffers from the trunk liftgate wiring loom issues and trunk flooding. Is there anything else with xdrive or activate stability? Can anyone help out here?

The only thing I have had not on your list is the sunroof sunshade spontaneously derailed when opening. Maybe I could have lived without the roof opening but it rattled all the time. The replacement is $5k plus $1700 labor....
But I love the car so I had it done. |
