    I have a 2004 525i and I have had it for 2 years currently has 120,000 miles on it. runs great no problems. I have the 6 speed manual transmission. a lot of people say this car is slow. that it looks faster than it actually is. if you take care of it and have a little modifications the thing is a rocket. great car for a great price I definitely recommend to anyone. it has a perfect balance of luxury and sport. BMW E60 are the best engines BMW has ever produced

    Thank you for this video. I recently purchased a low mileage 2007 black 525i almost identical to the one in the video. I watched this video first before I bought it. Very happy with my car, drives so much nicer than an American made car.

      I'm in the USA, found an 06 that needs some good work but I asked to see it and there was already someone going to get it.
      121k miles, dark blue with the tan interior, missing iDrive display and won't start. $1,000. Feel it was a good deal even now.

      Not petrol ones,diesel n47 engines e60/f10 2007 to 2013-ish gave chain trouble,I am on my 4th BMW first 3 where petrol never had a single problem now have a diesel as petrol are hard to find now (in Ireland) have an f10 now had e60 and e39 and e36 all Msport (e36 was only 1.6 petrol and towed a caravan all over Europe for 4 months without a single problem)
      Must say though e60 is my favorite
      Also owned 2 Audi A6's both had constant problems so put me off them.

      Even though I'm a big fan of the F10 I have to say that you have a point. This car looks more modern than many of its competitors being produced today. It's only the screen and gui that's no longer on point, however it's a lot better than audi's of the same era.

    Hey guys. I had BMW e39 525d (163HP) and I really loved this car. But it had common issues like rust :/ So I decided to sell it. I'm driving now a 2001 Mercedes CLK 320 (218HP) and its a rocket. Now I decided to buy myself bigger and more comfortable car like BMW e60. Can You say me something about your issues regarding e60 model? I want definitely to buy a benzine, no diesel. I'm focussing on 525i or 530i . Can someone write something about 525i? Like common issues, what to check before buy, something what is disturbing, etc.

      They are reliable and robust. Older models from E60 model 2003-2004 models are even more robust and reliable as they have older version of engines.
      In general i had no issues and people that i know who drive the same type of car are happy with it too.
