Hi guys, first of all sorry for writing this in English, I am originally from Macedonia a small country in Europe and I am asking this here because we don't have a E60 forum and the rest of the English forums are about american petrol cars like the 530i not the one that I am looking for a 530d.
So hmm I currently have an E46 316i and I would love to upgrade it to 530D, I have a friend who bought an E60 530D 2007 in 2009 and imported it here from Germany. He is selling it for 12,000 EUR
It currently has 185,000KM on it but I dunno if they are real. I don't know this guy much, I know his friend who knows him for 2-3 years. He tells me that he enjoyed driving his car and took care of it, since he is an IT tech guy he used to add maps on that car 2 years ago and he tells me that he really does take care of it.
It has the older engine.
But what I want to ask is:
1. Is it worth it? Are 185,000KM too much for this car if they are real of course. I've heard it's a great engine
2. Nothing gets serviced by the book here, so what is the best way to check KM?
3. What are the faults for this pre-lci 2007 530D that I can check before buying?
4. Whats the most expensive thing that can break on this car?
5. Any other advice you can give me
Regards
Danke
