    For a 2011 car it was really ahead of its time for the tech, styling and equipment since it was the second model BMW produced with the F chassis.

    Are you concern about the high mileage? Any oil leaks? oil gaskets, water pump, suspension, all good? I want a 535 xdrive but I'm worry about maintenance.

    • @peterkobasa
      @peterkobasa  5 років тому +4

      jc Though BMW doesn’t have the greatest reputation when it comes to reliability, I wouldn’t be concerned to the extent of all those issues occurring. I’m pretty sure the owner of this specific 535i only had minor issues, but I am going to double check with him and get back to you as soon as he contacts me. If you are looking to buy a 535i xDrive and are concerned about reliability, I would try and find one with lower miles if possible as long as it remains in your budget. It is a gorgeous car though, one of my favorites that I’ve reviewed. Once again though as soon as the owner gets back to me I will tell you exactly what he says. Thank you for watching as well

    • @peterkobasa
      @peterkobasa  5 років тому +6

      jc The owner told me he has not encountered any major issues with the vehicle throughout ownership. He told me that maintenance is expensive in the sense it is a BMW, but since troubles do not occur frequently, there is not much to worry about. I hope this helps

      If you don’t know how to work on cars make sure you have a warranty. It cost to much to fix and you will regret it. You need a warranty. Beside the cost of fixing problems the car itself is a dream to drive.

    • @peterkobasa

      thepro08 I’m not entirely sure if you can check the stats of the vehicle through the information page, sorry. I know newer cars grant access to that but you might be able to check on an info page in the vehicle, I’m not entirely sure. If you check CarFax or a dealership report you could probably find incidents or other scenarios. If you have any other questions though I’ll be happy to answer them for you.

    • @peterkobasa
      @peterkobasa  4 роки тому

      hmm hmm Hello. That sounds like a really solid deal to me personally, I would just try and make sure everything is working on it for it for being priced so low. I would be a little speculative of reliability, as this owner of this car never had any major issues but had slightly-frequent minor repairs- BMW reliability is mediocre but if you really like it and it’s affordable than it’s worth it. I personally really like the 535i, and if you can get a steal on it I would say go for it. Thanks for watching too
