Should I buy
Should I buy this 2004 BMW 530i it has no problems and
has 160000 miles on it and the guy wants $6000?
It is not a hard so fix... they have a few particular flaws and fixes not like the 'regular' cars, but the 6 cyl inline with double vanos (this is not that hard to work with, but regular mechanics are afraid of these vanos units) is pretty sturdy. I forgot about this type of engine block if it is made of aluminium or not, this caused a lot of problem regarding the threads, but most of the time they can be fixed. Also lots of electronic on this car and again, many are afraid of this. Oh, kelly BB can be wrong, but a lot of private sellers tend price it a bit high, because of sentimental and maybe they think they had extra care of the care. Ofcourse, this does not apply all the time. But 6k seems a bit too much in my opinion.
Do not buy it, plain and simple, save you pennies and get something else
NO WAY!
Take 60 hundred dollar bills, wrap them around a brick, and throw it into the ocean- it will save you a lot of time and frustration-
Hey man, clearly no one here has ever owned one, or probably ever even driven one. I have a lifted 6.0l custom f350 and a BMW 5 serries. People hate on the both, I've had quads, Sleds, RZR, motocross bikes. An engine is an engine. Buddys M5 has over 500,000k mine has over 300,000k and it drive Perfect. I've had it a while and all its needed was GAS to drive it. 6spd manual. Blue book doesnt matter, theres some nissan skylines online for $5,000 then some for $55,000. If you do regular maintenance on Anything it lasts.
