Lucked out !
We bought a BMW 525i in may when we fisrt arrived. We couldn't beleive what a buy we were getting. I mean we paid cash for a BMW and thought it's just a matter of time before something major goes wrong with. 4 months later and she goes like a dream and start up like she has been waiting all night to go for a drive. As my mechanic said this is the best engine that BMW ever built. It will just go on and on and on as long as you look after her !!! And trust me we do.
525i classic
Bought 1989 525i new. It was my 3rd BMW. It has been great. No problems in 117000 miles. Great drive. I am going to get a new car for improved safety (i.e. airbags). Unfortunately, the next car won't be a BMW because of weird style and i-drive of coming 530i similar to 745i.
I Love My Car, !!BUT!!

I bought it with 71,000.00mi now it has 150,000.00mi it still runs great, drives great, and looks great, !!BUT!! things are starting to wear out. I wish things did not cost so much to get repaired. Someone please help!
BMW 535i Lover For Life
I have owned my 2004 X5 for almost 4 years now, and was my very first BMW. I LOVE everything about it, and so much so that when it came to find a side project, another older BMW seemed like the logical choice. I got extremely lucky and found a 1990 535i for sale that was/is in pretty decent condition. Although its' current status is slightly unkempt, it shows great portential, and the engine is bullet proof. with 354,000+ on the odometer, one would come to expect low compression, and leaks aplenty, but the engine seems to thrive at around 5,000 RPMs, and the exhaust note makes me feel like every one of those 205 war horses is raring to be loosed. I'm a sucker for a fixer upper, and will be looking for the elusive 540 in the very near future.
