My budget is around 180k, so i will get a 2011 manufactured 520D. I'm eyeing on 2 which is 165k and 175k (below 100k mileage). As a newbie I appreciate if 520D owners can provide some good advice to me before me choosing the right car.Question 1:Did this car give you a lot of trouble? (Basic maintenance aside)Question 2:Would you keep it if it is more than 4-5yrs old? Or would you sell it as you know that it is gonna have problem with the engine or any parts soon?Question 3:Used or Recon?While recon car mileage and previous record cannot be tracked, I read on the internet that recon are actually safe to buy. For newbie like me, is that advisable for me to get a recon car?A for used car, what do I need take note about when testing of the car? What are the normal problem that can be detected when buying 520D?Thank you very much!Regards,chuan</blockquote>
