[QUOTE="funfer_fahrer, post: 184805, member: 2733"] Hamilton, Just a suggestion. Why don't you go for 2001 525i? Yes, the price is a bit on the high side but I am not asking you to buy the car right away. This should be your target car for the time being. These are the reasons why: 1. The 525i from 2001 to 2003 are the Last of the Mohicans. E39 finest, best in the world, Bangle-free design equipped with M54 engine. 2. The torque curve is more linear. Horsepower around 192 and it comes with drive-by-wire technology. 3. They share the same engine with E60 built from 2003 to 2005. Meaning, you are actually diving an E60 but in a different shell. Having said this, your next target BMW should be the E60 built from 2005 onwards with a set of new engine or you might want to consider the E65 the 7 series built from 2003 onwards. 4. The price of the car might be a little high. But, don't buy now. The price will depreciate further. Spend the the first one or two years studying the car so that it will give you extra confidence while waiting for the price to drop within your budget, Don't worry, the car will not run away. 5. If you have driven the E39 M54 engine, it will keep you happy for a long time. The car is so enjoyable to drive even if it is a stock standard car. You don't have to change to superchips. The power is there. 6. Since this E39 isThe Last of The Mohicans, the value of this particular model will maintain and I believe a lot of people are looking for it. 7. Delayed gratification pays.
